CALL TO ORDER: The meeting was called to order at 6:55pm. Members present: Don Turner, Jim Robb, Terry Daniel, and Henri Etta Rexroad. The May 16th minutes were read and approved after modification.

TREASURER'S REPORT: Treasurer not present to give report.

COMMITTEE REPORTS:

PROGRAM: Chair not present to give report.

COMMUNICATIONS:It was pointed out to Terry that the website had not been updated. This was due to the fact that Richard was unavailable to advise of new password. This will be rectified.

MEMBERSHIP: Chair not present to give report.

SOCIAL ACTIVITIES: There is still a need for a volunteer to chair this committee. Terry and Jeanne agreed to fill in as temporary hosts during the summer while the club seeks a replacement.

FACILITIES: Henri Etta had nothing to report. Michael not available for report on progress of acquiring more keys for dance hall.

OLD BUSINESS:

BYLAW REVISIONS: Terry stated that any bylaw revisions are still on hold.

REFRIGERATOR: Terry gave a report on research into buying a new refrigerator for dance hall. After discussion a motion was made and seconded to purchase an 18.5 cu. Ft. model with a bottom freezer (not to exceed $1400.00 including installation).

GOLDEN DAYS DANCE: Terry reported that there was no interest from the Chamber of Commerce to co-sponsor a Golden Days dance. They are willing to include our July 18th dance in their advertising for $30.00 (the vote was unanimous to do so).

TANGO WORKSHOP: After discussion about the proposed Tango workshop with Frank and Janice it was decided that weekend classes would be the best option. Henri Etta will contact them with a proposal for three classes on the 12th and 13th of July with Janice making own travel arrangements.

NEW BUSINESS:

MINI LESSON PRIOR TO DANCES: Don suggested that we start offering a 30-minute dance demo and review of steps designed as a refresher for those who have taken the lessons and as an incentive for those who haven’t. A different dance would be covered each time. The board authorized payment of $50.00 to the instructor for each session. It was also suggested that the Zimmermans be contacted to do one session, and that Jerry Blemke be contacted to fill in at times when Rulon is unable to be there. Don volunteered to speak with Rulon about this and to bring a report to next month’s meeting.

DANCE/LESSON CD'S: Jim has talked to Kurt about making music CD’s for our dances and practice sessions. It was agreed that Kurt would be paid $300.00 to produce a total of six CD’s.

DINNER WITH DANCES: Jeanne made the suggestion that we consider having dinner with our social dances and will pursue the possibility of the culinary school cooking for us.

TREES: Trees were sold at garage sale and are not available.

ADJOURNMENT: The meeting was adjourned at 8:10 PM
