Meeting Minutes
Wilde Bunch Executive Board
19 July 2004
ASDC

Call to Order:

The meeting was called to order by President Scott Ferris at 6:28 pm. Other board members present were: Vice-President Tony Horvat; Secretary Shannon Wagers; and Outreach Coordinator William Andrews. Treasurer Brian Blackwell and Class Director Jack Denvir were absent. The agenda was approved as submitted.

Reading of Minutes:

The reading of the minutes of the previous meeting was waived due to time constraints.

Treasurer's Report:

The Treasurer's report was read by Scott, acting for Brian. It was approved as submitted.

Scott also noted that our financial picture has not improved since the last board meeting. We have not added any new dues paying members, and our expenses continue to outstrip our revenues.

Chase the Chile Report:

Tony reported that no additional volunteers have stepped forward to serve as committee chairs.

The next fly-in planning meeting is tentatively scheduled for the week of July 26, exact time and place to be announced.

Other Business:

1) Pool party. The board took up the question of whether or not we wish to dance at the pool party, and if so, who should be asked to call. It was decided that we should first consult with Jo Anne Hoffman, who is hosting the event, before making a decision.

William confirmed that the time of the party has been set for noon to 6 pm, Saturday, September 4. It will be a potluck. Carpooling is encouraged.

2) IAGSDC membership. Scott raised the possibility of changing the Wilde Bunch's membership status from Full to Associate Member. This would lower the dues our club pays to the IAGSDC, but would also result in the loss of our voting rights and ineligibility to receive financial assistance from the All Join Hands Foundation. (We would, however, still be eligible for Petersen Fund grants.) Action on this matter was deferred sine die.

3) Fall yard sale. It was decided to hold a second yard sale again this year, sometime after the fly-in, possibly in early November. Any Wilde Buncher who would like to offer their home as a venue for the sale is urged to let the board know as soon as possible.

4) Fun dances. Shannon reported that she has spoken to the management of The Cafe Next Door about the possibility of holding a fun dance there, and that they are amenable to the idea. She estimated that the floor space available could accomodate two squares.

5) Letters to inactive members. No report was available on this project due to Jack's absence. Further discussion was tabled until the next board meeting.

Adjournment:

The meeting was adjourned at 7:04 pm. The next regular board meeting was scheduled for Monday, August 2, at 6 pm.
