Meeting Minutes
Wilde Bunch Executive Board
8 April 2003
ASDC

Call to Order:

The meeting was called to order at 6:03 pm by President Kevin Niehoff. All board members were present with the exception of Treasurer Brian Blackwell, who was absent due to a family medical emergency.

Reading of Minutes:

The minutes of the March 4, 2003, board meeting were read and approved.

Treasurer's Report:

Presentation of the Treasurer's Report was deferred, due to Brian's absence.

Other Reports:

Vice-President Tony Horvat shared with the board the list of recommended callers compiled by Bill Eyler and Kris Jensen for the 2004 fly-in. He said he would begin calling the people on that list immediately, with a view to making a final selection and having a contract signed by the earliest possible date.

Tony also suggested holding all fly-in events at the Square Dance Center, as this venue would be much less costly to rent (at about $100 per night) than the locations we have used in the past. In order to do this, however, it would be necessary to move the date of the fly-in from the first to the second weekend in October, since the center has already been reserved for another event on the first weekend.

His suggestion was favorably received by the board, with the caveat that before committing to that date, we need to be certain that it doesn't conflict with any other IAGSDC events. Tony agreed to look into that.

Outreach Coordinator Danny Lee brought up the subject of exchanging fly-in registrations with other clubs, and suggested that such exchanges be limited to one per club, with no more than 6 to 8 clubs participating.

Reports ( con't. ):

Danny went on to report that the next Fun Dance will be held Saturday, April 19, at The Ranch, with Jerry Jestin of Yuma, AZ, as guest caller. There will be no charge to attend. Another social dance is tentatively scheduled for May 10 at Renea's, he reported.

Old Business:

1) Pride Day. The board voted unanimously to become a Pride sponsor at the $301 level. This would entitle the club to a quarter-page ad space in the program, a float in the parade, a booth on Main Street at the Fairgrounds, and other amenities. An exhibition square will also perform at the event.

2) Yard Sale. The board voted unanimously to move the date of the annual yard sale back one week to May 3 in order to make it more compatible with Scott's and Brian's work schedules. The sale will be held at their home.

New Business:

1) Shirts. Class Director Diane Butler agreed to look into the feasibility of creating an official Wilde Bunch Shirt in time for the IAGSDC national convention in San Diego this summer. This would be either a T-shirt or polo-type shirt bearing the club logo on both front and back. She will report her findings to the board, and present designs for consideration, at our next meeting.

2 ) ASDC Annual Clean-up. It was announced that this will take place Saturday, April 19. Club members are encouraged to participate.

Adjournment:

The meeting was adjourned at 6:58 pm. The next regular meeting of the executive board will be held on May 6.
