Committee Reports

 

Ways and Means:

 

Barbara reported that there was nothing new since the November 15, 2003 meeting.  Today, she has scheduled a white elephant sale with members bringing articles in for sale and that she has reduced the price of T-shirt stock and Sweatshirts with the price being $5.00 and $8.00 respectfully.

 

Ovation:

 

Nancy reported there is a new "group list" for all the Regional club's Newsletter Editors. We have been corresponding about deadlines and exchanging ads plus we've had a discussion about advertising policies.
She said our last issue was handed out and mailed in Nov. and the next issue deadline is Feb 15th and will be handed out at our March meeting.  This issue is our breeding and puppy issue since we didn't have a Sweepstakes in Nov. there is no set picture for the cover. She asked if you have a puppy that has had an outstanding career to let her know and she will consider featuring him/her on the cover.  Lana suggested putting the Cosmo Corgi on the cover. Nancy also asked if there were any members who would like to do a regular column or articles for us.

 

 

PWCCA Representative:

 

Nancy reported the PWCCA Representative’s group has had a discussion of how clubs handle storing all their clubs records.  She mentioned these specialized "group lists" are proving to be very helpful and she suggested we form 2 lists for our club, one for all the members and one for the board. Lana felt there are pros and cons to having these group lists.  It was decided to discuss this at a later time.

 

Web site:

 

Nancy reported the members only page is up and running and she hopes to be able to add more OV documents to it soon.  She asked if any committee chairmen or members have anything they need posted to it or any corrections please let her know. She reminded everyone to please try to remember to visit it often for meeting information, treasure's report, minutes and other notices.

 

Puppy Match:

 

Bob gave report for Adrienne on the Puppy Match which was scheduled for May 28, 2004, at Joyce Park, with Sally Wynn as judge and that everything was moving along very well.  Discussion was held that this date was in conflict with the Gateway’s Club First Specialty and supported entries.  It tentatively was changed to May 8, 2004, with the Chairperson to see if the changes would be in agreement with all of those involved.

Discussion was held in regard to Neena Van Camp’s nomination for President at the November 15, 2003 meeting and how it relates to our Constitution and By-Laws.  The discussion being held as to the letter of acceptance not being turned in at the meeting by Robin because Neena did not attend the meeting and therefore could not accept the nomination.

The Secretary contacted the President about this situation and the President; Lana Jorgenson made the decision to accept the written letter by Neena.
