Director of Education — Herb KlontzThe Tweed Study Course is experiencing great demand. The April, 2005 Course was full, and the September, 2005Course had a record number of 116 participants. Of these 116, 74 were students from 14 American universities.After the Course, a Continuing Education Workshop dealt with the extraction/nonextraction dilemma, microscrewimplants, surgical considerations, etc.. Eighty-six people participated in the workshop.The educational mission of the Foundation is alive and well. My thanks to all of you who have graciously given ofyour time to help with the Course because it cannot continue to thrive and prosper without good instructors who areenergetic and knowledgeable. I sincerely thank you. 2006 is shaping up to be a banner year. Many of you will haveto help us again, and we thank you in advance. Enjoy the course photographs that are interspersed throughout thispublications!Secretary/Treasurer — Jim VadenYour Foundation continues to “run” well. Our Endowment Fund, managed by Michael Stolpher who is under thewatchful eye of John Bunk, has done very well in 2005. This Endowment Fund allows us to do some things that wecould not ordinarily do. We must be ever mindful, however, that we have to protect it because it is our future. It willcontinue to grow and allow us to do more and more things “for the cause”.At its September, 2005 meeting, your Board of Directors voted to increase dues for members from $50 to $100.Teaching staff members will pay $250 instead of $200. This action was taken because the Foundation continues tospend quite a bit more than it receives in dues income. It was felt by the Board of Directors that the burden of runningthe Foundation should be more equally shared by all members of the Foundation.All of you have received notification of our Foundation mixer which will be held in conjunction with the AAOmeeting in Las Vegas. If you have not returned your registration form, please do so. We must know how many forwhom to plan.Lucy Koffman had to quit her job with us because of a health problem. You will remember that Lucy was hired in thesummer and was working out very well. Lucy took a trip to Oregon, fell and broke her hip, and has been inrehabilitation since in Oregon.We have hired a bright and energetic lady named Nancy Netherton to help Esther. We will do a little “feature” onNancy in the next Profile.10
