Welcome comments from the President
Corrections: Neena
said that the minutes should reflect that a By Laws committee was never
approved by the Board and therefore shouldn’t exist in the minutes. Lana
clarified that an ad hoc by laws committee was discussed at the March board
meeting in
Neena pointed out that the membership committee is a
standing committee and cannot be combined with education. Lana said that they weren’t
really combined, but two separate committees chaired by the same person, and that they had simply been listed together in the committee
reports so Judy could give both reports at the same time.
Neena also said that the minutes had the judges for the 04
and 05 specialties switched under the judges selection
committee. The minutes will be corrected to show the
appropriate judges for the 04 and 05 specialties.

She has been referring to the PWCCA website. Suggests referring out of area people to a
closer club. Kathy needs
guidelines. Discussion… do we want to
