Quarterly Business Meeting July 26, 2011

Members Present:  Rita H, Rowena B, Linda C, Dorothy M, Marilyn W and Debbie S
The meeting was called to order at 12:40 PM by Rita H, President.

Secretary's Report: Debbie asked if there were any changes needed to the April 2011 minutes as published in the newsletter.  Rowena made the motion to accept the minutes, Linda seconded and the motion was passed.

Treasurer's Report:  Class with Alex Stillwell required only $100 from DLS funds so the student fees covered most expenses.

Arden will have DLS pay her fee for attending the IOLI conference since she was the only member attending and agreed to report  about the IOLI meeting.

VP/Program Chairman Report:  Need to talk to Cathy about teaching a Honiton class. Also, need to get on Louise Colgan's schedule for another Milanese class.

Librarian Report: Nothing new to report.

Demonstrations: Rita reported 6 hours of demonstration and Linda will earn some hours soon. Dorothy will get contact information from Norrell if Cathy doesn't have it.

Membership Report: There are currently about 35 DLS members.

Hospitality Report: Karen was absent.

Newsletter: Dorothy suggested DLS start a blog perhaps replacing the newsletter. After much discussion, we agreed to try a blog but reluctant to replace the newsletter since many members are not active computer participants.

Old Business:  The Christmas party will be held on 12/3/11 at Forest Green library.

New Business:  Rita is moving back to Belgium at the end of the year and Cathy cannot accept another term at this time. Therefore, we need candidates for President and Vice-president.  Linda and Debbie have agreed to remain Treasurer and Secretary, respectively, for another term.

Next meeting will be 10/25/11.

Meeting was adjourned at 1:15 PM by Rita Hansen.

Respectfully submitted,
Debbie S
