In an unsurprising move, the USBCHA board of directors agreed to accept a grant of approximately $20,000 from the 2007 Gettysburg Finals local committee, money to be held in trust and given to the local committee that manages the next Finals east of the Mississippi. Here are the particulars, as posted on USBCHA site July 18 by Francis:
The B/D will vote on receiving the excess monies from the 2007 National Finals (approximately $20,000) with the following conditions: Richard Williams motioned, the USBCHA must earmark the money in a separate account (possibly a CD). The money can only be used to fund a National Finals that will be held East of the Mississippi (which could include Eastern Canada). The money will be dispersed in total to the next local committee awarded the bid to host that finals. The award of this money will not effect other monies normally provided by the USBCHA to a national finals local committee. The availability of money will be advertised in order that potential local committees considering bidding for the finals may properly consider receipt of these funds in their financial projections, seconded by Dean Holcomb.
