I. Review of previous minutes from June
•	Motion to approve: Randy
•	2nd: Dave
•	Motion: passed

II. Treasurer's report: Scott
•	Review of finances
•	Expenses were as expected for the month of June. A current surplus of money can be attributed to CTC registrations and sales made from items donated to the Wilde Bunch.  A replacement check is needed for the T3 down payment to the Marriott, as the hotel seems to have lost the check.
•	Motion to approve the treasurer's report: Aaron
•	2nd: Randy
•	Motion: passed

III. CTC 2014
•	About 40 dancers are registered for CTC.  T-shirt sales are close to the break-even point, and anticipated expenses include the full fee for the hall, restaurant, and payment to the callers. 

IV.  T3
•	A contract is missing for two of the T3 callers.  Georgian has contacted both of them so that the contracts can be signed and returned.  About half of the T3 flyers from the recent convention were picked up, suggesting continued interest of the event by other groups.

V.   Class Director: Rick on behalf of Jean
•	Presently, there are five new dancers in Basic/Mainstream with a few other guests interested in future classes.
•	There are twelve new dancers in the C1 class.

VI.  Member at Large: Randy
•	During the first Monday of August, there will be a luau, where members will be encouraged to wear Hawaiian attire and bring tropical snacks.
•	In September, there will be a cookout, and Wilde Bunch members will be asked to bring their favorite side dishes.

VII.  Weekly Dues
•	Scott and Rick discussed weekly dues for visiting dancers.  Visiting dancers who pay on Monday night should not be charged on subsequent days if they choose to dance with the group multiple times during the week. 

VIII. Bill’s Anniversary Dance
•	  Rick noted that Bill’s anniversary dance will be held on a Wednesday night during mid-September.

IX.  New Business
•	Rick was able to sale the violin donated by Steven, allowing the Wilde Bunch to receive a generous profit.  The group is thankful for his contributions.
•	Aaron mentioned the lack of a formal class for Plus-level calls.  Rick will discuss with Bill about getting recently graduated Mainstream members up to Plus level in time for CTC.

Next meeting set for: August 18, 2014 at 1800

Meeting adjourned: 1819

Respectfully Submitted,

Aaron Wagner
Secretary to The Wilde Bunch
