Meeting Minutes
Wilde Bunch Executive Board
4 March 2003
ASDC

Call to Order:

The Meeting was called to order at 6:11 pm by President Kevin Niehoff.  All board members were present.

Reading of Minutes:

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

Treasurer's Report:

The treasurer's report was approved as submitted.  Treasurer Brian Blackwell also reported that, to date, 35 Wilde Bunch members have paid their ASDC dues for the current year.

Other Reports:

Vice-President Tony Horvat reported that Bill Eyler has provided him with a sample caller contract that might be used as a model for the 2004 fly-in (the terms of the final contract being, of course, negotiable).  He said he has not yet contacted any potential callers, and asked for suggestions from other board members.

Member-at-Large Jeanie Beshires reported that arrangements for the March 15 St. Patrick's Day fun dance have been finalized. It will be held at The Ranch, from 7 pm to 9 pm, there will be a $5.00 cover charge, and club members must wear their name badges in order to avoid being charged an additional cover charge by the bar.  She said Bill Eyler will be the caller, but that she had not yet discussed his fee with him.

Old Business:

1)  Anniversary Dance.  In response to comments and suggestions from club members, the anniversary dance schedule was revised to include an additional hour and a half (approximately) of Basic-thru-Plus dancing following dinner and the awards presentations, with the entire affair to conclude by about 10 pm.

3)  Pride Day.  It was suggested that a planning committee be named to coordinate our participation in Pride Day activities. Danny will be handling this.

New Business:

1)  Fun Dances.  In response to a memo from Bill Eyler, the pros and cons of charging a fee to Wilde Bunch members to attend fun dances were discussed, but no definitive action was taken.

3)  It was brought to the board's attention that neither Bill nor Kris will be available to call on April 15.  Unless other arrangements can be made, we will not be able to dance that evening.
