Ilko reported we do not have a Chair for the CF at this time, and with the pending sale of AIU, we may not be able to utilize it for more than one year, and other venues have question marks around them, but we are in need of a Chair to do the leg work on following up for the Fair. L. Peranich indicated his feeling that it is important to have the CF and it ties into the following item on the Agenda; D. Engler feels it is important too for a communication tool to the community and it brought in a lot of money and hates to see it go away from the budget; the Board indicated the importance of the CF and would like to see it continue; might prove fruitful to begin with B. Hoffman as well as looking for SR residents who may be interested in it or college students who are looking to get into event planning; perhaps we should just set a CF planning meeting and see what kind of volunteers will show up with their ideas
