Greetings,

Applications for the Rittgers fund are now open and must be submitted by
March 6 at 5:00 p.m.  Applications need to be Emailed to Gene Coulter
via Email. 

Please send them to my G-Mail address as it is possible that we will
change internet providers during the application period due to
increasingly poor service from our current provider. The Email to use is
MizzouFan1979 at GMail.com <mailto:MizzouFan1979 at GMail.com>  where I will
share them with other committee members. We will let awardees know level
of funding by March 8 or 9. Applicants should go ahead and make hotel
reservations which can be cancelled without charge if you cannot attend
up until the day before. However, please refrain from pre-registering
for the convention until you hear from me as planned meals and
registration fees are one of the items that are commonly covered by
Rittgers funding.

Questions my phone number is: 573-268-7864

Gene Coulter, chair

Affiliate bylaws

5.00 George and Gwen Rittger's Stipends for state convention

 

5.01. The state board will allocate the maximum amount to be 

used from the fund by January 31 of each year.

 

5.02  An individual application must be made 30 days before the  

beginning of convention by the person requesting the funds, or by their


chapter president, which explains the reason for the request.

 

5.03 It is not intended that these funds pay the entire cost of 

convention attendance, and the committee is only to allocate funds based


on need and will not use the entire allocated amount unless recipients 

needs justify it.

 

5.04 The state president may authorize funding after the 

deadline in extraordinary circumstances if funds remain in the 

allocation.

 

5.05  Whenever practical, funds will be directly paid either to 

cover hotel costs or convention registration and meals.

 

5.06 New or perspective members will be given highest priority 

in their request.

 

5.07 Persons who have previously attended a Missouri convention 

will then be given consideration.

 

5.08. No person shall receive funds a second or subsequent time 

unless they experience an unexpected financial crisis that would
otherwise prevent their attendance.
