Approval of the Minutes followed distribution by Lisa.

Treasurer’s Report was reviewed by Sarah.  She gave current summaries to group and asked for feedback as to what board needed.  She will have more current information when Potato Run report has been completed.

Norm suggested that required submissions to CDSS and IRS could provide framework.  Lisa added that Google has format for sharing financial reports.

Sound Committee Report was given by Kelle. who confirmed training to take place at Church of the Advent by Mom’s Music Tuesday, June 29 from 6 to 7 at a cost of $350.  Those volunteering to be trained are John Thornbury, Paul, Norm Stewart, Jim Fry, Kelle Mahoney, Dwayne Johnson.  Kelle will schedule sound folks through Sept. for our Monday and Sat. dances. 

 

Membership Report supplied by Naresh included his move to electronic registration for the coming year, possibly having a laptop at the dance for registering new dancers. 

Board Members’ Responsibilities were discussed by Janette as outlined in by-laws.

 

Fleur de Lis Fling Update was given by Janette and Norm.  She is finalizing church contract which will limit access to kitchen during first half of weekend.  Janette has distributed “Save the Date” flyers at recent, regional dances.  Committee members include Kelle, Nick, Susan Moffett, Cindy Green, and Jim Bennett, Drew Fisher, and Norm Stewart.    Bands and callers have been secured.  Workshops will be determined following their input.  Registrants will be able to print form from website and mail payment.

 

When the group discussed future plans, Norm introduced other possible venues which will be explored.  He is also going to increase Heartland mailing list by adding Bloomington and Indianapolis lists.  He mentioned possible talent for 2011 Potato Run.  This discussion will continue at next board meeting.

 

Dreams of expansion to another night/hall were discussed.  A subcommittee will be formed for follow-up on these ideas.
