The CAS Forum was created in 2004 by the merger of the former Catgut Acoustical Society (CAS) and the Violin Society of America. The mission of the CAS Forum is to increase and diffuse the knowledge of musical acoustics and instruments, and to promote its practical applications. The CAS is best known for its pioneering work in the development of scientific insights and their application to the construction of new and conventional instruments of the violin family. Its founder, Carleen Hutchins, along with other CAS leaders, developed methods for tuning the free plates of an instrument before its assembly. These methods are now used by violin makers around the world. 443605 true false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 9 0 true 0 false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 16 16 false true false false true true false true true false false true true true true true true false false false X X CAP HILL MANAGEMENT SERVICES 5184638644 230 WASHINGTON AVENUE EXTENSION 101 ALBANY NY 12203 X laura barcelo Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JULIUS VANDEKOPLLE Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JULIAN COSSMANN COOKE PAST PRESIDENT 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 CHRIS CLARK Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 ANYA BURGESS Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JENNIFER CREADICK Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 BILL SCOTT Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 BRANDON GODMAN Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 KATHY REILLY Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 COLIN MAKI President 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 CHARLES F TUCKER IV Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 ITZEL AVILA Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 FAN TAO Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 CHRIS ULBRICHT 1ST VP 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 JOE JOYNER Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 PETIO KOSTOV Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 0 false false false 0 7790 7790 ADVERTISING 900099 425 425 CONVENTION INCOME 900099 546058 546058 MEMBERSHIP DUES 900099 83717 83717 630200 24940 24940 0 0 0 0 0 0 27372 16696 10676 10676 0 673606 640876 24940 0 61700 61700 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 92025 92025 0 4908 4908 0 0 0 0 0 1416 1416 5390 5390 0 0 887 887 0 352253 352253 0 0 0 3563 3563 BANK & MERCHANT FEES 25198 25198 SCROLL PUBLICATION EXPENSES 19695 19695 VSA NEWSLETTER 5551 5551 Postage and Shipping 2041 2041 1478 1478 576105 443605 132500 0 183025 57518 45328 402003 0 10 0 0 0 0 0 17641 12361 4283 4283 0 670408 1023888 0 0 0 0 916412 1495770 199705 285902 13025 -22918 212730 262984 X 365296 546356 338386 686430 703682 1232786 916412 1495770 97501 431603 X X false false false X 375 20041 20224 105535 7790 153965 124545 93881 383791 125693 657572 1385482 0 0 0 124920 113922 404015 231228 665362 1539447 0 0 1539447 41585 56277 18105 16245 24940 157152 0 41585 56277 18105 16245 24940 157152 0 0 166505 170199 422120 247473 690302 1696599 0.90740 0.86730 0.09260 0.13270 X 4283 4283 true 0 0 SCHOLARSHIPS 22 61700 Grantmaker's Description of How Grants are Used THE RECIPIENTS OF THE SCHOLARSHIPS ARE RECOMMENDED BY LUTHERIE SCHOOLS AND APPLICATIONS ARE EVALUATED BY THE SCHOLARSHIP COMMITTEE OF VSA.
