The scholarship fund received $8.03 in interest, bringing the balance to $1,089.60. Kim Willis motioned that the treasurer’s report be accepted; seconded by Robin York.

Prior to the business portion of the meeting, new members were welcomed to the club – Ann Doss, Debra "Sissy" Dockins and Valerie Speed.

Rebecca stated that she had spoken to Whetstone regarding the St. Jude’s ride. Which then prompted considerable discussion about group size, associated costs, etc. Sissy Dockins agreed to gather some information for using the Joe Speed location for the ride and would report at the next meeting. Sissy volunteered to be a trail boss for the ride. The membership voted on Saturday, September 28^th as the date of the ride.

Kim Willis reported that Patti Denike had spoken with Gary Biggerstaff and he advised that the 8^th, 15^th or 22^nd of June were open dates for scheduling a clinic. The cost of participation for a horse/rider is $85.00 and spectators are $20.00 per person. His minimum requirement is 8 horse/riders (with a maximum of 15) and unlimited spectators. Kim Willis offered the use of her barn and to coordinate the details of the seminar. As a reminder, the seminar will be offered first to riding club members and then to the public.

Discussion regarding the Recreation Center Auction was plentiful; however, Cecile motioned that further discussion be tabled until better attendance at fun shows would warrant such an event; Kim seconded.

Ballots were collected for the revised by-laws issue. A tally of the votes indicate that the revisions suggested were passed unanimously.

Valerie Addicott agreed to check out Mama G’s and La Cabana to determine if they would be suitable locations for future meeting sites.

Valerie also reported that baseball games are scheduled from May 4 – July 14 this year so any fun shows would have to be scheduled after 4:00 p.m. She stated that there are two new baseball fields on the upper level that were part of Phase I of the improvements. And, here’s the neat part…..the new agricultural facility is part of Phase 2!!!! Which means, in November we all need to vote for the SPLOST. This will help generate the revenues needed to fund the new facility. Being in Phase 2 is much more aggressive that we originally anticipated, so we really need to support it.

New Business

With no new business to discuss, Cecile motioned that the meeting be adjourned; Betty McDonald seconded and the meeting ended at 9:17 p.m.

Next meeting is Ma7 14, 2002 at 7:30p.m.
