Congratulations to Betty Haden who was selected as
The Spotlight Award /
Exhibitor of the Year in the
The Gulf Shore Region
Exhibitor / Cat Fancier of the Year was chosen from a field of 5 worthy
exhibitors who were nominated by various admirers in the Gulf Shore
Region. Previous winners Warren Joubert and Karen Crooke headed up the
committee to choose the winner. They were assisted by Becky Carazzone and
Belinda Ernst. They are pleased to tell the story of this year's choice!
The 2006 Gulf Shore Region
Exhibitor / Cat Fancier of the Year registered her first litter in July of
1983. Over the next few years in the 1980s, she and her husband became
friends with and acquired cats from some of the most prestigious Persian
catteries. Several of these breeders became dear friends and
mentors....Brannaway; Gatnel; and when she moved into Exotic Shorthairs in
the mid 90s, SouthPaw, WoodSpirit, Dancecats and Lankhara.
Her first home-bred Grand
Champion was born in 1986, combining the Gatnel and Brannaway Persian lines.
In 1989 she bred one litter
of Scottish Folds..and added KitJim to the list of renowned cattery names with
which she has been associated.
In 2002, Our 2006 Gulf Shore
Region Exhibitor / Cat Fancier of the Year gave up the joys of grooming
longhairs...and switched to a curly-coated shorthaired breed...the Devon
Rex! Another exciting event happened...she ran for and was elected to
serve the Gulf Shore Region as Regional Director in 2002-2003! She joined
our own region's Pam DelaBar (the new CFA Prez at the time) on the Board of
Directors of CFA. She also began working with Anna Sadler and Dee Hinkle
on the newly formed "CFA Pure Bred Rescue Committee".
In 2003, our Fancier of the
Year bred her first Grand Champion Devon Rex, co-bred and co-owned with Sheila
Parvin of Technicolor Devons. This combination of
In 2005, she reached the
milestone of having bred and shown 10 grand champions and grand premiers...in
three different breeds...Persians, Exotic Shorthairs, and Devon Rex.
Currently, she is a Director at Large of the Devon Rex Breed Club and has
co-bred and co-owned the 2002-03 Fourth Best of Breed Devon Rex Kitten and the
2003-04 3rd Best of Breed Devon Rex Kitten (with Sheila Parvin).
By now, I know you all
recognize BETTY HADEN as the Gulf Shore Region Exhibitor / Cat Fancier of the
Year for 2006! But we're not through singing her praises...for breeding
and exhibiting cats are only a small part of her admirable service to the Gulf
Shore Region. In addition to ably directing the business of the Gulf
Shore Region as it's Regional Director, she also served as Board Liaison for
the Pure Bred Rescue Committee. Betty is also an excellent Master Clerk
and offers her services to many of the shows. She's a true fount of
knowledge about show procedures and never fails to answer a request for advice
or help. She truly exemplifies "going the extra mile" for her
friends and acquaintances in the cat fancy!
Betty joined Anna Sadler and
Dee Hinkle, along with the Ft. Worth Cat Club, in the purebred rescue effort in
Essentially, when something
needs to be done, or someone needs help, you can always count on Betty. In spite of her personal challenges, Betty is
always available for her cat fancy family.
We think that purrfectly
exemplifies the qualifications of the 2006 Gulf Shore Region Exhibitor / Cat
Fancier of the Year, Betty Haden.
With great admiration,
Karen Crooke and the
Committee
PS. If you didnt notice,
there is a page in the Awards Book to write in the Winners name. It is the page following the Top Cats in
Championship.

Terry Brown, Gulf Shore
After all these past years
of being Historian for the Gulf Shore Region, I have decided to finally step
down and let Betty Haden take over this labor of love for me. She will continue
to maintain all records, pictures, etc in the same loving manner as I have.
Richard and I have decided in our golden years to slow down and smell the
flowers and want to continue showing but on a limited basis due to our health
and ages.
We have both enjoyed the many years we have had in the cat fancy and have many
friends here which we do and will miss but it is the time for the young ones to
step forward and make us all proud and with the continued help of those of more
experience that will be done, then when we do go to shows we can proudly say
why look there, I knew him/her when they were young now look at them.
Please show Betty the same courtesy and cooperation that you have shown me
these past years and I am sure you will all see that she gets all your
pictures, year books, etc so she can exhibit some new material at the next show
when region calls for the Historical Data. I want to thank everyone who has
kindly donated papers, books, etc and we can be proud of the fact that we have
a complete set of yearbooks. I think we are the only region to have a complete
set.
See you all at the shows....sometime you may just turn around and there we will
be.
On behalf of the Gulf Shore
Region, I would like to thank Terry for all her hard work and devotion to the
region. The pictures and scrapbooks that
she has put together are wonderful.
Please let her know how much you appreciate her work.

CFA News:
The June Board Meeting &
Annual Report
Wednesday morning Pam read
the list of members of the Credentials Committee and they were accepted.
Eve Russell is the Chair of this committee. The CC is the one that
checks all the delegates applications to make sure all the information is
present and correct. This allows the delegates to be seated
and vote. They also open the election ballots on Friday morning
(starting at 7 am), tally the votes and then present the results to the
Delegation during the Annual Meeting. This year was the election of the
Officers and Regional Directors. My wife
Paula is on the CC but did not participate in the election ballot count as I
was running for office.
Budget Report: Kathy Calhoun. This is an over view of where we are as of April 30,2006.
Assets are same as last year.
Ordinary Income-Registrations and related services. Registrations are down about 6% from last year and 1.7% under budget. This follows the downward trend of the last several years. Please register your litters!
Yearbook and Almanac. The Yearbook and Almanac combined was a loss of about $60,000. Which was about the same as last year.
CFA Sponsored Events.
Both the International and
Operating Expenses.
Central Office ended on budget.
Overall CFA experienced a net loss last year of approx. $45,000 after deducting the one time expenses.
Club Applications: Jo Ann Cummings. Region 7, The Monticello Cat Club -
failed. The club is located in an area already saturated with clubs
and there are no show dates available.
International Clubs that
were accepted:
Cat Fanciers of
Philippine Cat Lovers
Society.
Clubs that failed to be
accepted:
International Report: Darrell Newkirk. The ID has elected their new representatives to serve their areas of the International Division. Wilson Ng was elected by the Asia/Latin America area of the ID and Dennis Lysterburg was elected by the European Area of the ID. The remainder of the report was about shows in the ID. If you would like more information, let me know and I'll provide it.
Central Office: Allene Tartaglia. These are mostly house keeping items, ratification of items passed at previous Board Meetings, and out of regions show requests, all passed. We are starting updating, upgrading and budgeting for replacement of the computer system in CO. This project was passed by the board and it will happen over a period of years as data is migrated from the old system to the new one. The accounting software has already been ordered. Allene Tartaglia has been appointed as acting Executive Director and things are operating smoothly in CO. Allene announced that our insurance carrier, Chubb, did not increase our premiums this year.
Winn Foundation: George
Eigenhauser. Winn awarded 11 research
grants for a total of $131,364. Winn now
has a newsroom on GoodNewsForPets.com.
This is a lengthy report. If you
would like more information let me know and Ill provide it to you. You can also see the Winn Newsletter and more
information on their web site at www.winnfelinehealth.org. Oh, did I mention that Betsy Gaither is their
first treasurer outside someone from Central Office? Congratulations Betsy.
Animal Welfare: Linda Berg. Linda Berg has
attended the HSUS convention in
Purebred Rescue: Linda
Berg. Approximately 500 cats rescued
with over $5,000 in donations to off set the cost of Veterinary and rescue
expenses. They established a fundraising
partnership with Amazon.com CashForCritters and Pampered Chef. Also developed a emergency contacts magnet
for fundraising.
Legislative: Joan Miller.
This is a really involved situation with PAWS and AKC's support of
it. However, CFA will not back down in its opposition of the PAWS
legislation. Please look at this legislation on the CFA website at
www.cfa.org/exhibitors/alerts.html. Also
checkout Fanc-e-Mews for recent articles www.cfa.org/ezine/index.html.

Protest committee: George Eigenhauser. The new process is now in
effect. The protest committee will hear the protest and then present the
findings to the Board during closed session the next day with a
recommendation. This will then be reviewed by the full Board and voted
on. This will give the protest process a better flow of information and
allow more time for the protest to be heard. This will also allow the
full Board to actually have more information but spend less meeting time on the
protest. This new process is a benefit to all involved. It was recommended by George That individuals and catteries under suspension from CFA
(other than temporary Animal Welfare suspensions pending investigation) be
listed in an area of the web site accessible to the public, along with such
disclaimer as may be necessary.
Temporary suspensions when done as punishment (i.e. other than temporary
Animal Welfare suspensions pending investigation) should be listed until CFA
services are restored. This action item
passed and you will now be able to get updated information on the CFA
website. It will take a while to get
this set up, but it will be done.
CFA-IAMS CAT CHAMPIONSHIP
SHOW: Pam Huggins. The new Committee
Chairperson, Pam Huggins, and Show Manager, Dawn Shiley were named following
the February 2006 Board Meeting and would like to thank the Board for their
continued support of this show. The
committees goal is to re-engineer all areas to produce a well-run,
well-attended show/media event without significant budget loss to CFA. The budget for this years show reflects a
$14,000 profit IF we get the sponsorship indicated.
Clerking Program:
Publications: Donna
Brawner. Donna submitted proposals for
the Yearbook and the Almanac. The board
approved to go forward with this project.
Donna will have solid proposals for the October meeting with an
implementation date of 2008 for the Yearbook.
The Almanac proposal was tabled until the October meeting pending more
information.
Breeds and Standards: Annette Wilson.
The February, 2006 Board Meeting was the first time any breeds advanced
to championship since the formation of Breed
Committees. Are breed committees
automatically converted to Breed Councils?
Does the Breed Committee chair automatically become Breed Council
Secretary for the remainder of the term (until the next scheduled BC
election)? Breed Committee chairs are
elected in the same manner as Breed Council Secretaries. Recommend the BOD approve this policy. It was approved. The committee is also working on a standardized
color description chart.
Business Development: Kitty Angell.
A proposal was introduced to license the CFA logo to interested
companies for a $100 per year fee.
Passed. These will be taken on a
case by case basis. The main report was
given as a power point presentation to the delegation on Friday. Mostly showed off our new toys that should
be in PetsMart and Petco sometime in September.
Management Committee;
Centennial Committee: Liz Watson. The Centennial Celebration was very
successful & voting is now going on for the Cat Idol. Congratulations to all participants. A huge thanks to Kay Janosik & her
committee; Alene Shafnisky, Teresa Keiger, Karen Lawrence, & Marcie
Baturin, for organizing & running the challenge. A special thanks to Marcie who, also, did the
regional awards for the winners.
Barbara Sacco of Purr-fections has donated the 100 year jewelry to the
Best of the Best winner. The challenge
was so well received that inquiries have been made about running it again this
year. It would run on the same format
but start in September. Kay will be
writing an article featuring the challenge for the Almanac. We were asked to vote on running the
challenge again for the 2006-07 show season & funding the regional
awards. This was approved. Look for more information soon.
IT / WEB Committee: Dick Kallmeyer.
The existing HP system has reached the end of its service life. A proposal was submitted to the budget
committee for the migration/transition to a new system within the next 18
months. It had been planned to launch
the new Online Litter Registration (OLR) in time for this annual meeting, but
there is still some work and testing to be done. The CFA web site had 6.6 million page loads,
up 42% over a year ago. After spending $18,000 for the development of the
Online Confirmation system, fewer than 10%
(557 cats since September 27, 2005) of confirmations are being processed
online. Approximately 75% are coming in
via show packets. NEW ON THE SITE: - Annual information- Press release on bird flu- Top 10
breeds- New issue of Fanc-e-Mews- List of 2005-2006 National and Divisional
winners- Numerous translations of CFA forms.
Mentor Program / Ambassador Program; Pat Jacobberger. Both
programs continue to grow.

Thursday we met with the Breed Council Secretaries in
open session. The exchange of information between the BCS and Judges and
the Board was discussed. The information should be collected by the BCS
by mailing list, regular mail and on ballots. There was discussion
about standardizing the color description across all breeds. There are
several breeds that describe the same color in different ways.
Meeting with the
International Division. Points per country were discussed.
In the afternoon we had a
Meet the Board. This was an open forum
to discuss anything with any board member.
It was sparsely attended and turned into a meeting of mostly board
members. Adjourned about 5 PM.
The Friday meeting
was held with the new format. Instead of all the committee reports being
read to the delegation, most of them were printed in the delegate books.
Only key reports were presented to the group.
I am proud to be part of the Business Development Committee chaired by
Kitty Angell. Our report on the developing marketing projects was well
received and will put money to the bottom line of CFA.
The following are a
"done deal"; 4Kids Entertainment is the exclusive worldwide
merchandising agent for CFA.
Under this agreement, 4Kids will market cat treats, toys, games, food, beds,
grooming products, health aids, scratching posts, carriers, men's and women's
apparel to promote CFA. These items will show up at FAO Schwartz,
Wal-Mart, Target and similar stores starting this year.
CFA entered into an
agreement with CatBank to provide DNA services for cats. It will offer
such services as Individual DNA Identification and DNA Parentage
Identification. AKC Companion Animal Recovery and CFA have
established a partnership with a discounted price and CFA will get $1.00 for
each cat registered.
The new Health Care Plan is in effect. Check it out at http://www.cfaphp.com/BHIA/ . You
should be getting info in mailings from CFA.

Show rule resolutions from the floor:
#21. Create a new show rule regarding selection process for the judges
for the CFA International show. Clubs would use a two ballot process.
One ballot would select 5 judges from the clubs' region and the other
would select 5 judges from the remaining regions. A complex process
would then entail for the final selections to make sure that judges
from all regions would be represented. The ballots would need to be
finalized by a paid auditing firm. Failed.
#22. Article 25 section 4h addition - CFA should notify in writing to
all club secretaries each quarter of any and all disciplines and
suspensions. - Motion withdrawn due to the announcement from CFA that
permanent suspensions and disciplinary procedures will be published
by CFA in the public portion of their website so that it will be accessible to
all.
#23. Carolina Sophisticats wanted to amend show rules that specifically
mention HHPs (7 places in the show rules mention this). They want
HHPs exempted from the non-declawing consideration. Failed.
Sunday morning while everyone else is packing, eating a
leisurely breakfast and heading home, the Board of Directors is starting still
another meeting at 9:00am. The new directors are introduced. Kay Jonisik
(region 6) and Yayoi Satoh (region 8). Kathy Calhoun presents the proposed
budget for 2006-2007 and there is discussion regarding why some numbers are up
and some are down. Some of the committees are not funded just because we
don't have the funds at this time. The proposed budget is just that,
proposed. It's a working document that allows us to see where the money
is allocated and if we want to move some of it around. The bottom line
was a net loss for next year. This budget does not reflect any income from the
new programs that were
introduced and should be greatly changed when those get under way.
