The address of our registered agent, Kim Galusha was changed with the state.

All taxes have been filed.

NADAC/ASCA/AMBOR Trial: $3,870.45 was the total income from the weekend.

Field Issues:

Mulch - $16/yard, we will need 216 cubic yards for the entire field and will require 6" of depth on the mulch. Tricia received a quote for $3400 for the materials, and $2250 to spread and roll the mulch. She is waiting on a quote from member Debra Tolar on the materials and will report at the meeting on what the price will be exactly.

Equipment - We cannot buy the Dog Walk Planks as the width of dog walk that we currently have is no longer in production. We would like to purchase a new dog walk and will bring it up for a vote at the membership meeting. Nancy is following up with Mike (who made Pamela’s weave poles) to get a price. As soon as she is able to confer with him she will place the order for 2 sets of 6 weave poles. The blue tunnel has seen better days and needs to be replaced. This will be brought up at the membership meeting and we will ask for a vote to purchase a new tunnel.

Seminar: A Tellington TTouch seminar to be hosted by Kathy Cascade – will give specifics at the meeting and will ask the membership to vote on hosting the seminar. This would be a 2 day seminar with an emphasis on the benefits of TTouch in agility.

Board Member Nominating Committee: Jaime Margiotta – chair, Suzanne Antonowich, Mary Marshall members and Frank Cheff alternate.

Wikazri Lease Renewal: Called Kim from the meeting to address Wikazri lease renewal – she will get with Cynthia and get a renewal to the board to present to membership at the meeting.
