· There was no report as Carole was not present at the meeting
· There was no report as Colleen was not present at the meeting.
· There is someone interested in helping with the accounting/treasurer duties. It was suggested that Colleen speak directly with this person. Volunteers are needed for the Banquet, Lockers and Events. Pam Goff is doing Fundraising.
· To Carole Dillemuth for doing the Secret Santa
· To Lindsey Goff and Kellie for doing the Nationals Performance on January 26.
· To Brad Tullberg for donating ice for the Nationals practice
· To Brenda Salmanpour for organizing the lettering program with RAHS
· RFSC Competition
o Dates for the competition have not been finalized at this point. Brenda is working on getting chair people for positions that were not filled. We cannot advertise until we get the sanction. The judges, to replace the critiques that were done in the past, suggested a training seminar for this year. This seminar was suggested for Thursday night of the competition. It was suggested that the seminar would be free for skaters participating in the competition, and $5 for non-participants. There have been problems with vendors and other people entering the judge’s room to eat. It was felt that the club is not responsible for feeding anyone except the judges.
· $75 Competition Credit
o It was suggested that volunteer vouchers be given to members when they achieve their volunteer hours; the volunteers would then submit the voucher with their membership to get the credit back. It is very hard to track volunteer hours over the year. No further action was taken, but the idea was presented to consider.
· Banquet (cost to skaters, guests and coaches)
o The date for the banquet is February 17, 2008. It was suggested that home club skaters and coaches pay $12 and all others pay $15 for the brunch. It was suggested that the banquet be held from Noon – 3:00 p.m.
· Nationals skating performance
o The performance is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. Saturday, January 26. Skaters should arrive between 11:00 – 11:15 a.m., with practice from 11:15 – 11:30 a.m. If temperatures fall below zero, the performance could be cancelled. Someone is needed to announce and play the music. Skaters should come in their costumes.
· Catharina and Terry Field sent thanks to everyone who has helped their family during Kyle’s illness.
· Cookie dough
o It was supposed to have been delivered before Christmas. The order and payment was sent in on December 10. The company is currently in the process of moving. The company has misplaced the order and payment and is currently trying to track the order.
· The lettering program with RAHS went through.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:17 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Dan Koopmans
