It has been traditional for the CFC Youth Co-ordinator to be a trustee.
If Patrick and Lyle continue, I think Lynn would be happy to step down in favour of the new Youth Co-ordinator.
I often get requests for Pugi Fund donations because people confuse my role as the manager of the Pugi funds. I'd like to see a more pro-active approach where the trustees advertise occasionally that funds are available then set a deadline for worthy requests, instead of considering them one by one. First come first served, so to speak.
I do feel that the decision to fund juniors on the Olympiad Team for the past 2 years was an excellent use of the Pugi Fund and congruent with Kalev Pugi's wishes.
