The Chairman called the meeting to order and a brief discussion
was held on the new Pinellas County Ordinance No. 72-12 relating
to their Charity Board and the other requirements established by
the County and the Board proper, including fees charged and that
it applied to municipalities unless they specifically passed a
resolution removing said municipality from the requirements
of the County.
The Clerk presented letters relating to the American Vital
Organ Transplant Foundation and the raising of monies for
John Rotella, a kidney transplant patient, now living on a
kidney dialysis machine. The Clerk reported that he had sent
an application to the foundation and requested them to complete
the form and bring it up to this meeting but no one had showed
up. The Board instructed the Clerk to follow up with another
letter and ask if the first letter had been received and also
to contact some other people mentioned in the letters on the
subject. He was also requested to write to the Corporation
Division, Office of the Secretary of State, relating to the
Co~poration the intent of the organization if it is incor-
porated and the names and addresses of the officers.
The application of the Central Florida Chapter, Leukemia
Society of America was presented for consideration. The Clerk
reported that he had suggested they attend this meeting but
his office had failed to notify the date of the meeting until
this morning and found that Mrs. Newberry, the Executive
Director, was on vacation at this time. Mr. Kennedy outlined
the application and spoke considerably on the audit and
accounting records. He and the Board agreed that the letter
from the accounting firm did not clarify the situation
sufficiently, therefore Mr. McMullen moved to defer the request
to the next meeting on January 17th at 1:30 P.M. Chief Daniels
seconded.the motion which carried unanbnously. The Clerk was
instructed to write to the Leukemia Society and explain that
the letter from the accountants was not satisfactory and the
Board desires someone to be present at that time qualified to
discuss the finances of the organization.
Mr. Lord left the meeting at'this time.

The application of the National Foundation March of Dimes was
presented for consideration with Mr. Kennedy outlining the
application. Considerable discussion was held relating to
the estimated receipts and expenditures for the 1973 solici-
tation versus the Treasurer's report for the year ended
May 31, 1972. By consent the item was deferred to later in
the meeting to obtain the file of previous applications.
The next item on the agenda was confirmation of requests which
had been verbally approved previously. The first item was
that of UPARC for solicitation from November 15th to December
31st, 1972; the second item was that of the Science Center for
solicitation from November 30th, 1972 to March 1, 1973; the
third item was that of the Salvation Army for Christmas Welfare
Relief Program for the period from November 24th to December
31st, 1972, and the last item was that of the Veterans of
Foreign Wars for their Poppy Sale on November lOth and 11th,
1972. Rev. Johnston moved that the prior verba~ 'approvals be
confirmed. Chief Daniels seconded the motion which carried
unanimously.
<:) ,
The March of Dimes application was presented again after a
brief study of previous applications relating to the cost of
running the solicitation versus the receipts. It was found
that the statement for 1972 was approximately 27% and that
the costs exceeded the recommended 20% figure for at least
the past 2 years and it was suggested that a representative
be present at the next meeting. Chief Daniels moved to approve
the request provided ~ha~a representative be present at the
next meeting and explain excessive costs. Mr. McMullen seconded
the motion which carried unanimously.

cation forms, permits, etc., even including temporary organi-
zations such as Save Sand Key, Christian Youth Sports, Babe
Ruth League and Little League, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, etc.

Mr. McMullen moved that the minutes be approved in accordance
with copies submitted to the Board in writing. Chief Daniels
