Attending: Scott Amspoker, Randy Elliott Coburn, Turtle-Bear Guillermo, Jean Maher, Dave Meltzer, Aaron Wagner, and Rick Weber 

Call to Order: 1800 by Rick

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

II. Treasurer's report: Scott
•	Review of finances
T3 registrations have been the source of the majority of October and November’s cash inflow. 64 people are currently registered, with a goal of 125 registrations.  Scott also noted that yard sales have provided a significant portion of revenue throughout the year.
•	Motion to approve the treasurer's report: Randy
•	2nd: Turtle-Bear
•	Motion: passed

III. CTC 2014
•	Two refunds for dancers who were unable to attend CTC have been subtracted from net profits, leaving an estimated $800 gain from the event. 
•	Georgian has offered to coordinate CTC for 2016.
o	There was a general consensus among board members to approve this offer.
•	Kelly from Rocky Mountain Rainbeaus proposed having a registration exchange for    CTC.
•	He also suggested a change in the future CTC schedule.
o	Because the Rainbeaus will be applying for convention in 2020, the Rainbeaus would prefer not having CTC during the year of convention.  After 2016, Kelly proposed that Denver would host two consecutive CTCs followed by Albuquerque in 2019.
o	Rick expressed concern that changing the dates might be creating unnecessary stress.  Rick will contact Kelly to let him know that the Wilde Bunch will consider revising the schedule if their bid is accepted.

IV.  T3
•	The housing block is open for reserving rooms at the Marriott, and the number of people registered (64) is half of the anticipated goal (125).  

V.  Holiday Party
•	Kris and Turtle-Bear will be hosting the Wilde Bunch’s annual holiday party Saturday, December 13, from approximately 1600-1900.

VI. Crossover
•	Crossover will occur on December 2 (as well as open house).  Graduating dancers have been planning their special tip, with Jean ordering dangles of their choice.  Plans for open house include a Christmas cookie exchange and an ugly Christmas sweater dance.

VII.  New Business

•	The annual general meeting is scheduled for December 8.  Discussion of open positions as well as board member elections will occur.

•	The IAGSDC is requesting brief articles describing square dance clubs.  Rick suggested spotlighting our callers / dance venue (ASDC) or Bill’s 30th anniversary as a caller.  Scott also recommended highlighting the community aspect of the WB with other Albuquerque square dance groups.  Articles must be submitted by December 1.

•	Turtle-Bear inquired about the New Year’s Eve Dance on Wednesday December 31 from 1900-2100. Scott confirmed that Georgian has reserved the hall.  

•	Rick has signed the contract for next year’s rental of the ASDC hall.  The only night Rick has made dark is the Monday night of convention.

•	There will be no December board meeting.

•	The new basic/mainstream class will begin January 5, 2015.

Next meeting set for: December 8, 2014 at 1900 (general meeting)

Meeting adjourned: 1831

Respectfully Submitted,

Aaron Wagner
