The NACA proudly oversees three
standing programs that are in place to help our
members.
THE MARK NICHOLS MEMORIAL CRISIS
FUND
After
the tragic death of Mark Nichols the NACA established a crisis fund. The loss
drove home the cold reality that members of the NACA endure unforeseen hardships.
The Mark Nichols Crisis Fund gratefully consists solely of donations. During
the unfortunate times when this fund has been called upon important financial
aid has been provided to members during their crisis.

JOAN HARMS DISMUKE MEMORIAL AWARD
This memorial award was
established in memory of Joan Harms Dismuke, long time Corriente breeder and
exhibitor, who passed away February 5, 2001. The award is designed to encourage
young Corriente members to develop their knowledge of the Corriente breed. At
the NACA National Shows, a special judging competition is held for youth 13 and
under. Participants judge two classes: a pen of four yearling bulls and a performance
class of four team roping animals. Each participant places each class and gives
oral reasons for their placings. Participants can enter each year in the
judging competition without cost.
A
trophy belt buckle is awarded to the top
scoring individual in this judging competition.
The buckle is provided annually by the Dismuke family.
"CORRIENTE CLYDE" YOUTH DUMMY
ROPING FUND
Clyde Edmondson, 54, passed away suddenly on
April 21, 2006. He operated Made In America
Corrientes and was also the cattle manager at
Wau-Ban-See Ranch, near Brady,
Texas. Clyde
was well liked and admired among the Corriente extended family. He was a
sanctioned NACA Judge and judged cattle at the very first Eastern Corriente
Assocation Show and Roping in Merridian, Mississippi.
One of Clyde's
many passions was the enjoyment he got from watching and encouraging youngsters
to participate in Youth Dummy Ropings at our shows. This fund was created in
his name so that excellent trophy belt buckles would always be awarded at NACA
National Shows to the roping champions. Each year the fund provides two
outstanding buckles for kids who participate in Dummy Roping. Association funds
are not used for this program, it is funded solely by donations.
To make a donation send a
check to NACA and designate it for the "Corriente Clyde" Edmondson
Youth Roping Fund.
