Meeting Minutes
Wilde Bunch Executive Board
2 December 2003
ASDC

Call to Order:

The meeting was called to order at 6:11 pm by Acting President Tony Horvat. All board members were present with the exception of Member-at-Large Jeanie Beshires. The agenda was approved as submitted, with the addition of one item of New Business: allocation of funds for potluck supplies.

Reading of Minutes:

The minutes of the October 7 and November 4 board meetings were read and approved.

Treasurer's Report:

The treasurer's report was approved as submitted. Treasurer Brian Blackwell also reported that we have received a total of 13 out-of-town fly-in registrations to date.

Other Reports:

Tony again called the board's attention to our declining membership, citing it as the most serious problem facing the club at this time. If the situation does not improve, he said, we could run out of money as early as April, since our monthly expenses for hall rental and caller fees are currently more than twice what we receive in member dues. He suggested that we re-examine the possibility of altering our dance schedule and/or dance locations, in order to reduce expenses. Tony also reported that he has received a signed contract from Jerry Jestin for the fly-in.

Outreach Coordinator William Andrews reminded the board about the Community Dance to be held next Saturday, December 6, at the Albuquerque Social Club. He said he would have new cards and flyers available to hand out to prospective new dancers at that time.
