Review by Scott with submission of Cash Flow-Year to Date, 1/1/2016 through 4/18/2016 showing inflows & outflows. Submission of account balances (Bank, Cash, Liability).

-A separate CTC financial report is not included at this time
-2016 is anticipated to have high expenditure in keeping with a fly-in year.
-Scott is asking for clarification and explanation of what seems to be unusually high printing costs that show up as a line item, apparently offset by a single donation.
-A $75.00 advertising donation has been received.

CTC (Chase The Chile) update:
-Currently 50 registrants.
-The Wilde Bunch is NOT promoting club-member housing, due to anticipated hotel/motel room availability at low rates, as there is no conflict with the Balloon Fiesta event.

Pride Parade: 
General discussion around the following items:
Kris Jensen led off with the question, 'How do we reach people?' (as possible future square dance club members).
-An informational handout, larger than business card, approximately post-card size should be developed and printed ($100 per 1000 cards approx.). David/Jenny/Jeremiah to further develop. (Applause heard).
-Jean to check on parade insurance requirements and cost for participants.
-Booth costs and staffing is generally viewed as needing high monetary as well as significant highly enthusiastic energy commitments...both seeming lukewarm at this point.

Other business:
-New dancers are coming along nicely, with Pablo class attendance recently capturing Pablo's attention. Both new dancers are progressing quite nicely.
-Jean holds a signed contract for the June 24 Community dance.
-A food donation drive was suggested as a way to increase our community visibility.
-David suggested a group of Wilde Bunch volunteers to crew telephones for KUNM during their fund-raising drive as another way to increase our visibility (interested murmurs and requests for additional information heard).
-New Secretary appointed; Matt Thomson (note his email; mathen21@gmail.com

Next meeting:
