Benevolence Report
2002 - 2003
As of June 6, 2003 the State Benevolence Committee acted as per policy on 5 deaths. NCACAA remembers and honors the following members who died during the last reporting year:
Woody Richardson, retired from Watauga County
A. C. "Red" Holpp, retired from Wilkes County
Lewis Howe, Wayne County horticulture agent
Richard Hayes, retired from Wilson and Greene Counties
Robert Shaw, retired from Columbus County
The current Benevolence Policy is as follows:
The county extension faculty will notify the District Benevolence Chairman of illness or death of an active or retired NCACAA member or family member.
The District Benevolence Chairman will utilize email and other appropriate means to notify NCACAA members (including the State Benevolence Chairman) of illness and death.
Upon the death of an active or retired NCACAA member, the State Benevolence Chairman will coordinate with the NCACAA treasurer to arrange for a $50 family designated memorial such as the NCACAA scholarship fund or flowers.
Upon the death of an NCACAA member?s spouse, child or parent, the District Benevolence Chairman will send an appropriate card extending sympathy and will pay for such.
The NCACAA Benevolence Chairman will arrange for appropriate cards of sympathy to state level Extension Faculty in the case of serious family illness or death. The Benevolence Committee is granted approval and funding to print a standardized sympathy card with an appropriate message and current logo.
Each year the supply of sympathy cards on hand will be transferred to the in-coming NCACAA Chairman who will supply cards to District Benevolence Chairmen.
