TREASURERS REPORT
We had a loss due to the Fall
Dance costing us more than was budgeted due to a change of
venue.
At the end of the quarter we
have two cd’s, one is worth $2,716.19 and the other cd is
about $2,761.61.
We need to be cognizant so
that we don’t make $600 or over so that we will not be
taxed. We are to
discuss that at our next meeting as to how it is going to
be handled.
Treasurers report was
approved
OPEN HOUSES

HALLOWEEN DANCE 2020
Question was asked do we want
to have a Halloween Dance?
There was concern about the
cost and about holding the dance since we do not make any
money.
We decided that the floor was
good, and the venue was good. If so, we need to have good
advertising on when
and where, so that we can get more people to attend.
We need to call last year’s
band and book them right away.
Joh Fitak did an awesome job
printing and making the cribs for the dance.
Diana Hankes also did a great
job putting the program together with input from John
McCormick.
Prizes – we had a really nice
variety
Proposal to hold the
Halloween dance on October 24.
We will have the same Band as
last year and Vicki, our Treasurer is going to contact the
band and negotiate a
price.
Location – we decided that we
would hold it at the same place as last year in
Muskego. Terry and
Loraine will reach out to St. Paul’s to secure the
venue. Plan is to have
a walk through again at Our Lord’s before the Halloween
Dance.
Diana will put together the
Halloween Program and will have the program ready by June
to give to the
musicians.
Motion was made and approved.
SCHOLARSHIPS
Spring Fling – for
those 35 and under which is an International opportunity
to encourage young
dancers.
RSCDS Unit 5 Exams for
Rebecca and Terry – they are interested in our group
donating to help them with
the cost. We thought we could divide a $1,000 and
give them each
$500. Also, we could cash in a cd and give them a
$1,000 each.
If they pass Unit 5, they
become fully certificated. It was agreed upon to
give them both $1,000.
Diana motioned to approve and
Sonya seconded.
MISCELLANEOUS
Rebecca has been looking at
other venues. She has contacted the elementary
schools and is looking at
the Private Schools now.
Potentially, she will look at
other recreation areas that we can dance at looking for a
venue with a better
floor.
