I
As of July 1, 1971 your Association has 134 dues paying member~. This
includes ~-7 county and 44 city civil defense directors togethe!'l with
43 associate members. From available records this would indic~te the
greatest number of paid members our association has ever had. lIt also
means that twenty of our county civil defense directors and a njumber of
our municipal directors are still not membersof.our organizatipn. In
one of our larger counti.es 34 organizations. or individuals are plembers
of the U.S. Civil Defense Council, yet the FCDA has only four m~mbers
from this county. There are plenty of potential members for ouf membership
committee to contact,so lets see if we can make the 150 mark bYI the annual
meeting in November. !

u.s. ARMY CORP OF ENGINEERS SHELTER SURVEY TEAM
Hillsborough and Pinellas Gpunties - Field Supervisor Ronald Wohl and
nine summer hire college engineering students began the Community Shelter
updating program for Hillsborough and Pinellas Counties June 16, 1971.
The team will remain in Pinellas County until August 6th at which time it
1triJ.~ move across Tampa Bay to Hillsborough County. Ini tial indications
are th2t the nu.'11ber of shelter spaces in the Pinellas County CSP will be
more th~n double as a result of this survey. These young students are to
be cO::j~nended for the fine work they are doing.
r<:arkyour calendars and circle November 17 , 18, 19th. The annual meeting
of the FCDA will be held at the Langford Hotel in Winter Haven with Dick
CQrver our genial host-director. It is too early to set up a tentative
program but every effort is being made to invite a number of guest
participants outside the CD organization. We also hope to make the program
equally attractive to the ladies and hope that we will have as many in
attendance as we had at the Spring/Summer Conference.
A warm welcome is extended to Mr. Claude B. Thompson the newly appointed
Director of Region III - Office of Civil Defense. Mr. Thompson has been
invited to attend and participate in our Annual Conference program. This
should. afford an opportunity for all to meet and talk with our new
Region III Director.
Those of us in the Central Florida Ar~a also welcome Mr. Wendell A. Porth
who is the Meteorologist in charge of the Tampa Weather Bureau Station.
He has taken the place of Larry Dye who retired June 1, 1971.
Also attached is a financial report for the Association covering the
period Decem:ber 1970 - June 30, 1971.
