III. CTC 2014
•	Currently, 35 t-shirts have been sold for the event (the break even point is 38).  
•	Georgian and Rick had a quick meeting last Saturday to discuss projected registrations, event scheduling, and overall event sales.  Some of the changes made include:
o	Adjusting the schedule to allow for more dancing on Friday evening.  
o	Creating an a la carte event pricing, which will be posted onto the website.  
o	Altering the drink menu to include iced tea, coffee, and water only.
•	Wilde Bunch dancers who are learning basic/mainstream will be offered a volunteer opportunity so that they may attend CTC for free.  Dangles will be given to those who attend the event.

IV.  T3
•	A 50/50 raffle will be done at Funky Monkey.  50% of the raffle money will go to the winner, and 50% will be split between the Prime 8’s and the Wilde Bunch.
•	An event t-shirt has been designed by Steven Homer and Alan Kroll.  The design will be put onto a black shirt, with only 24 being ordered.
•	Rick took the replacement T3 check to the Marriott and placed a hold on two presidential suites.
o	The first suite will be for Kris and Turtle-Bear to compensate for travel expenses normally paid to callers.
o	The second suite will be used as a raffle during CTC.

V.  Member at Large: Randy
•	The theme for September’s open house will be a picnic/cookout.
•	There will be no special dance in October since the first Monday of October will be after CTC.

VI. New Business:
•	The C1 class seems to be doing well, and it is anticipated that C1 will be finished in time for T3.  The primary concern is missing students and inconsistent attendance.

•	Housing is still needed for five people for CTC.

•	Rick will talk with Bill to see his projected timeline for Mainstream/Basic classes.

•	A garage sale is scheduled for the 2nd weekend of balloon fiesta (Friday and Saturday, October 10-11) and will be held at Betty’s home in Corrales.
