Foundation Benefits from Affiliate Donations

The IAFP Foundation depends on generous donations through the annual Silent Auction and direct monetary gifts to fund ongoing programs toward food safety education and resources worldwide. This year’s Affiliate cash contributions to the Foundation were donated by the Florida Association for Food Protection (FAFP). (Other Affiliates donating toward student activities include the Capital Area Food Protection Association and the Carolinas Association for Food Protection.) And once again, FAFP’s much anticipated skit at the Annual Business Meeting provided much comic relief.

Official business was interrupted by members of the Affiliate who, as a jury of IAFP President Linda Harris’ “nutty” peers, were ready to place her on “trial” for being “nuts or not nuts.” Debate ensued, a guilty verdict was determined, and President Harris was “sentenced” to accept a generous Foundation donation from the Affiliate. Meeting attendees were also encouraged to pose for a photo with the ’court room characters’ after the Business Meeting for a $5 Foundation contribution, resulting in more than $200 in additional donations. Also, more than $300 in tips was donated by FAFP musicians Peter Hibbard, Ron Schmidt, and Tim Westbrook who, along with a few guest musicians, provided entertainment for several hours near the Foundation Booth.

Thanks once again, FAFP, for your generous contributions and for the entertaining antics that always amuse audience members.

You’ll find dozens of photos from IAFP 2017 at: https://www.flickr.com/photos/iafp/albums The Florida Association for Food Protection once again provided entertainment this year with their courtroom antics at the IAFP Business Meeting during IAFP 2017.
