•	Breakfast will be provided on Saturday morning (breakfast burritos and bagels).  Dinner accommodations at Sadie’s have been made for 75 people.
•	Help with registration at CTC is still needed, especially on opening night.
•	Kris suggested offering a discounted rate for Duke City Singles for Friday night’s dance.
•	Board members discussed the possibility, but did not approve the discounted rate.

•	The current Basic/Mainstream class is anticipated to end in early December, with a new class beginning in early January (most likely January 5).  Board members commented that there are many potential members interested in attending.
