[Les Bunning]

I ran last year so I could see how our funds were invested. I was quite satisfied with the results and will not run again for a foundation trustee. I am getting to old and believe that younger members should be involved. Being a past President I am still very interested in CFC affairs and will retain my life governor ship as I am frequently asked my opinion on Legal matters involving the federation.

We greatly appreciate your wise advice when these matters arise. Thank you, Les!

I nominate Hugh Brodie for the 4 year term

While not speaking for the Executive, in my years on the Executive it's fair to say that the Executive as a group has tended to view Les extremely highly and I for one was hoping he'd go for the 4 year seat this year. As a past CFC president it's clear at least to me that he's qualified for pretty much any CFC role he wants to devote his time to.
