The meeting was called to order by President Dom Filardo at 9:00 AM.

 

Treasurer’s Report:  Treasury doing well.  We have $1854.35 now in the treasury, minus $600-700 expenses for WASCA, which will bring balance back up to approximately $1300.  Dues are now due.

 

We received lots of good comments about new floor in Round Dance room

 

EDUCATION CLINIC:  Rose said we need to support the clinics, even if you don’t think you need that particular subject.  Dom said we should know the subject of the clinic at least a month in advance of the clinic.  We need better response to emails when asked for input.

 

LIBRARY:  Butch & Peggy Bloxom are the only ones who have borrowed the Roundalab DVDs. 

 

RDTA Hospitality Room:  Good response. We started with 5 cases of soda, have about 1 and ½ left.  Have lots of food left over, because others brought food.  It was suggested we have a guest book next year.

 

Ralph Collipi:  Had open heart surgery, replaced one valve and had quadruple bypass.  What do we want to do for Ralph?  Butch suggested we send a basket of fruit or flowers because Ralph & Joan have always supported RDTA.  After some discussion, it was decided that RDTA would take a collection.  Dom & Joan will be visiting them in a few weeks and will use the money collected to take a fruit basket to them for us.

 

BUTTERFULY BALL:  Date is set for May 12th.  Dom needs to know who will be available. 

Dom will take care of the flyer.

 

NEW BUSINESS:

 

New members:  Tim moved we accept Joe & Peggy Dungan as full members-teachers in Germany.  They were mentored by Corky & Paulette Pell, and later, by Claudia Heil. 

 

Tim also nominated Roger & Connie Cox as apprentice members.  They were working with Adcocks, and will be working under mentorship by Tim and Nana Eum.

 

Margaret nominated Dave & Ruth Phillips as apprentice members.  They are working with Alice & Lonnie Harden’s dance group.  Tex and Margaret will be their mentors.

 

EDUCATION WORKSHOP:  Steve Brandt is willing to come down and provide, for $150.00, a clinic on Foxtrot techniques.    Tex moved that George contact him to establish a date and getting authorization for taping the clinic.  Motion was seconded and passed.

 

WASCA NOONTIME CUEING:  Do we want to volunteer to cue for Friday lunch hour as well as Saturday next year?  We had 20+ couples in the hall at all times.  We decided not to work on Friday because most of the cuers are involved in learning the high-level teach being taught at the same time. 

 

Peg Dungan said she had heard a lot of comments from dancers that the Phase 2-4 halls were too difficult.  It was suggested that we invite the WASCA RD coordinators to our meeting to discuss the RD program.

 

Meeting was adjourned at 9:55 AM.

 

 

Respectfully submitted,

Margaret & Tex Shipman
