The Chairman called the meeting to order at 2 P.M. Mr. Dribben
moved the minutes of the meeting of May 3, 1966, be approved in
accordance with copies submitted to each Board member in writing.
Motion was seconded by Chief Booth and carried unanimously.
The application of the Gulf Coast Tuberculosis & Respiratory
Association for a special campaign to solicit funds from May 20th
to August 31st, 1966, for a headquarters building was presented.
The Chairman explained since the time requested conflicted with
the special emergency campaign of the American National Red Cross
he had asked that a letter be written to the agency asking if they
would like to submit an alternate time. ' A letter was read from
Mr. James Trussell, Executive Director, St. Petersburg, requesting
a beginning date of May 31st if May 20th could not be granted.
Mr.' Dribben moved in view of no interference with other agencies
,~ that the application of the Gulf Coast Tuberculosis & Respiratory
~~_ Association be approved for fund drive from May 31st to August 31st,
1966. Motion was seconded by Chief Booth and carried unanimously.
The application of the Muscular Dystrophy Associations of America,
Inc., Pinellas County Chapter, was considered. A letter from
Mr. Dwight L. Holmes, District Director, dated May 18th, 1966, was
read explaining the distribution of funds for charitable purposes
as an addition to the required financial report submitted with the
application. The Chairman noted that the application form was not
notarized. Chief Booth moved the application of the Muscular
Dystrophy Association be approved from October 1st to 31st, 1966,
contingent upon having the application notarized. Motion was
seconded by Mr. Dribben and carried unanimously.
The application of ALSAC presented at the last meeting was again
discussed. A letter from Mr. Anthony S. Battaglia giving more
information on finances was read but no breakdown was given as to
funds actually collected in Clearwater. Chief Booth moved it be
referred back to the responsible parties for this drive and again
request they submit as required by the ordinance a financial statement
that will be declared satisfactory by this Board. Motion was seconded
by Mr. Dribben and carried unanimously. It was directed that a
letter be written requesting a breakdown for Clearwater, how much
was collected and how it was spent, as the application cannot be
considered until a detailed financial statement accompanies it.
