DIRECTORS MEETING SEPTEMBER 25, 2006
Runny Y Restaurant, Klamath Falls, Or
- Meeting was called to order at
9:12 PM by President Herbert Holmes
- Beverly Lambert moved to accept
the 2006 Forum minutes, seconded by Sandra Milberg. Motion passed.
- Beverly Lambert moved to accept
the Treasurer’s Report, seconded by Sandra Milberg. Motion passed.
Herbert pointed out the 2006 expenses are a bit higher than in 2005..
- The Directors agreed that $10,000
CD from the life membership to be rolled over for another year. A CD
in the amount of $20,000 to be taken out in December was brought up
and the feeling was favorable for doing this. Twenty four months ago
we had a zero balance, and by putting money into a CD provides a
safety factor. The Directors feels it is good to start a precedent of
putting money into a CD yearly. The membership for 2007 is coming in
early this year.
- HA will lose Broughton &
Broughton’s $5,000 sponsorship next year. They were pleased with our
participation and may still donate something next year. Unless we are
able to get another sponsor for this amount, the money will probably
have to come out of our premium money for 2007.
- Herbert stated that motels will
be costing more for the 2007 Nationals Finals, between $4,000 to
$5,000.
- Herbert brought to the Directors
the proposal of that all Directors work towards having a benefit
trial, raffle, clinic or such to help raise money for the National.
It was felt that it was unfair to the Directors that have worked to
have benefit trials to continue doing this if other Directors were not
contributing.
- It had been discussed on the
Forum changing the date for paying memberships, after some discussion
it was decided not to change the date. Memberships are due January 1st
of each year.
- Herbert reported the planning for
the 2007 Cattle National is going well. The 2007 National Cattle
Finals will be held May 8 – 13 at Torrington, Wy.
- Beverly Lambert is working with
next years National Finals Host Committee on the Sheep Committee .
Open and Nursery will run separately. It was mentioned that the entry
for Nursery will be a large entry, possibly as many as 125 dogs. The
run back number will be discussed at a later date..
- Klamath Falls has indicated that
they might want to be considered for the 2009 Nationals Finals.
- Geri Abrams of Mountainair, NM
has shown interest in hosting the 2008 National Finals. Further
discussion on this matter.
- Beverly moved to adjourn Sandra 2nd
- Meeting adjourned at 10:00 PM
