Schedule for 2008-2009
Tuesday, June 24, 2008
Minutes 6/24/2008
Attending:
Minutes of previous meeting reviewed and approved.
Treasurer's Report reviewed and explained. We have $1,339 in the checking account, $54 and some change in cash, and $165 is due for CDSS fees by the end of July. Treasurers report was approved.
Operations summary was presented, and it shows that we have had better attendence with the higher admission rate. However, we are highly dependent on out-of-town callers. The board agreed that there should be a formula for paying said callers for the distance they have to drive. After much discussion the tentative formula is $10 per 60 miles one way or $5 per 30 miles one way in addition to the regular fee for calling.
In-depth discussion then ensued about the Art Museum event. It was confirmed that Doug Singleton will be the caller with Whistlin' Rufus as the band. Connie had put in much time and effort negotiating this event with director(s) of the museum, and there were several issues that needed ironing out in regards to explaining to the directors and coordinators the logistics of the whole event. The museum said they only have room for 20 dancers, but they did not take into account the fact that at least 24 dancers would be required, as most people like to sit out for a dance or two. Ultimately the board agreed to divide up responsibilities concerning the exhibition dance so that Connie would have more time and energy to devote to the project. Marguerite agreed to head the effort to recruit dancers, with Dianne's help.
John had to take one of his amplifyers in to be checked out and repaired. A motion was made and approved to reimburse John for the repair, and Dianne wrote him a check for $30.
The next meeting was scheduled for Tuesday, August 26, 2008.
Fred, Dianne and Connie are going to work on redesigning the website.
Meeting adjourned 9:00pm.

Minutes 3/3/2008
Minutes of COTMD Board
March 3, 2008
Attending:
Minutes of previous meeting reviewed and approved.
Treasurer's Report reviewed and explained. Suggestion was made to include a category for the Dance Card admissions.
Dance cards were discussed. Fred had an idea to make a poster to put up at the door explaining/advertising the option of buying a dance card. Lucy suggested assigning someone the responsibilty of explaining and selling the cards. When dancers come to pay at the admissions table, the "vendor" could give them a choice of paying regular price for just that night or purchasing a card to use on future dances. The person responible for administering the cards would then explain the benefits/regulations of the card and subsequently complete the transaction should the dancer choose to purchase one. It was also suggested that a reminder about the cards should be announced at the break, as well as putting information up on the monthly email and on the website homepage. John suggested that the expiration date be changed from one year from date of purchase to two years from date of purchase. This idea was supported by those board members present.
We then contacted Connie on the phone to find out about the special Art Museum dance. She informed the board that the dance was scheduled for a Friday in the first part of July. There would be twenty dancers with Whistlin' Rufus providing the music and Doug Singleton calling. The board decided it was best to invite experienced dancers ranging in ages to display the type of dancers that attend the Columbia Contra. The dance would last one to two hours and would be a great opportunity to advertise the dance. Connie mentioned that there would certainly be mention/display on a website, one or possibly two articles written, and perhaps even television coverage, as ETV works closely with the art museum.
The board then discussed the nominations for next year's board. Connie agreed to continue as Vice President, and I (Stephanie) agreed to continue as Secretary. We decided to scout out and recruit at least one nominee each for the offices of President and Treasurer. Scott tentatively put his name in the running for President. There needs to be a ballot list by the end of the April dance.
Meeting adjourned 8:45pm.
