Virginia and sister needed to travel the next day, so in the interest of allowing them to get to bed earlier, we abbreviated the agenda.
The minutes to the last meeting, October 9, were not reviewed or approved.
The treasurer gave an abbreviated statement of financial condition. There were several disbursements however there was not substantive income or expenses to report as the dances since august were either cancelled or suspended for lack of interest.
The primary agenda item was to decided on the venue instead for Lake Murray. The two candidates were CMFA and Arsenal Hill. Arsenal Hill was selected, with the first dance being in January 2025.
As of today, February 3, the January 2025 dance was not held because of issues in securing commitment from city Parks. The location of the February 22 dance is presently in question because of undisclosed "minder" hourly expense for the hall. Previously the misunderstood charge for the Arsenal Hill hall was 80/20 split of gate receipts, which are "donations".
The next meeting is February 12.
The meeting adjourned a little after 8pm.
