Meeting Minutes:
September 12, 2002
President meeting called to order at 7:25 p.m. at Ryan’s Steakhouse in Cary.
Secretary’s report—the minutes of the May meeting were published in the newsletter and were not read. Letter received from ASSA for an ad from the Club for the Handbook. No action taken.
Treasurer’s report—there is a balance of $4,028.89. The Club insurance is now due and the cost is $290. We will not take out a bond, as it is too expensive.
Membership—the following have applied for membership—Terry Alden and Pauline Bolin both of Swansboro. Kristy passed around the new membership application for the Club’s approval.
Old Business:
November Show—all contracts with the judges are now signed. A request will be made with the APS to change the field that will be used, if held outdoors. It is next to the field that we used last November. Barbara Thompson showed glass plates that could be used as judge’s gifts. Ribbons are taken care of and Lynn will order armbands and judge’s books from MB-F. The catalogs will be the same as last year.
New Business:
Web site—Amy Butcher will develop an independent web site for the Club. The name will be TSSC.com or TSSC.org. Amy was given permission to use Club funds for development of our web site.
Meetings—the members decided that they prefer to meet in member’s homes rather than in restaurants. Permanent places we rent are hard to find, as we need a commitment for a year. The October meeting will be held at the home of Barbara Thompson.
Meeting adjourned at 9:30 p.m.
Program—we had Melanie Schlaginhaufein, a behavior consultant and trainer speak to the members.
Members present:
Eileen Bassett, Cathy Whitaker, Barbara Nelson, Kristy Pedersen, Lynn Michael, Barbara Thompson, Krys Messer, Chris Parkhurst, Dianne Hawes, Tina Komorek, Linda Nicholas, Chuck Dasnoit, Shauna Dasnoit, Amy Butcher and guests Nancy Davis and Sarah Crace.
