1          Reports/Voting

1.1      Approve Meeting Minutes (Dan Koopmans)

M/S/C:  To accept the minutes as written.

1.2      Treasurer’s Report: (Colleen Bloom)

Jayne gave the report in Colleen’s absence.  Brian Koland is training with Colleen to take over the Treasurer’s position.  There is about $20,000 in the bank right now.  Spring Ice has not been paid.  We are still waiting on the Vendors money from the Competition.

1.3      TCFSA Update Report  (Cathy Taylor-Sharp)

Steve Hartley gave the report.  TCFSA received the 2008 Silver Anvil award for the marketing of the Nationals competition.  Nationals brought in about $200,000. The election of officers remained the same as last year.  There was a Judges School on June 14.  There will be a Tech Specialist School in the future, but no date has been set.  There might also be a Club Management school, but no definite information right now.  TCFSA commitment form must be filled in by August 31^st.  State will be in Mankato this year.

1.4      Ice Report (Cheryl Funk)

There are 128 open spots for the summer; 92 contracted for the summer.  We are down from 75 contracts from Winter/Spring to 40 contracts for Summer.  The rink will be closed until October 1^st.  We are not sure where we will be for this.

1.5      Membership Report (Carole Dillemuth)

There was one new member application.

M/S/C:  To accept Brigitta Zosel into membership.

1.6      Members in Bad Standing Report (Colleen Bloom)

There is one member in bad standing that is currently being addressed. 

1.7      Coaches Report (Pam Sandborg)

Pam brought information on how to interpret scores in a competition.  There was a correction to last month’s report in that Pam had suggested that we consider including a USFS basic skills competition at the Roseville Skate Competition next year;  it was incorrectly reported as ISI basic skills.

1.8      Fund Raiser Report (Andra Hall)

Andra was not present to report.  Jayne reported that RFSC could not get enough volunteers and therefore passed on the Golf Classic fund raiser.  Catharina had looked into Schwan’s and reported that Schwan’s did not appear to be a good fund raiser idea for us.

1.9      Volunteer Update

We need the following chairs:  Lockers, Volunteer, Fund Raising, Banquet, Programs and Awards.  Melissa Montieth is our new Hospitality chair; Catharina Field agreed to be Ice Show Club Number chair.

3            New Business

·        Laurie Benson has applied for a coach’s position.  She came to the meeting to be interviewed.  Laurie is currently teaching ISI at Roseville.  She has been coaching in the Twin Cities since 1981.  She skated as an amateur in Chicago, Seattle and the Twin Cities.  She skated in ice shows for 8 years.  Laurie is looking to expand her clientele and teach more.  She currently lives in Roseville.  She went to Ice Dance Coaching College.

      M/S/C:  To accept Laurie Benson as a new coach.

·        Stephanie Wolf is proposing to have an off-ice ballet program to the skaters.  We do not have a ballet person currently.

·        There have been some issues with skaters’ attitudes and behaviors towards each other.  The Board discussed expected behavior at the club.  The Club will consider how to deal with improper behavior.

·        Roseville Parade is on Monday, June 23 at 6:15 p.m.  Participants are asked to be at RAHS at 5:30 p.m. that night.  Participants are also asked to bring candy to hand out.  Susan Tran will decorate her car for the parade and we will have the RFSC banner carried.
