13. Special Events/ Summer Dance Camp 2007: Cynthia Steiner gave us an update on the planning so far :

Jim Deininger did a nice draft flyer for dance camp to us to revise and make suggestions.

Negotiations are still in progress with Lift Ticket and Woody Lane for band and caller. Some of members want more than originally discussed. Rex and one other band member will pay own transportation. They want to add a drummer ($275 + travel?) If a band member or caller wants to bring a spouse, that person can pay half price and own transportation. Cynthia did a revised budget.

Food--Gretchen and Ingrid Herreid will do it for $5000, includes simple supper Sat eve, 3 meals on Sun, and 2 on Monday. Cynthia will work from the old contract. Dick Gumm offered to oversee how the kitchen scholarship people work out at camp.

We have a reservation in to the Boy Scouts for Lost Lake. Alan paid the down-payment, but did not get a contract. The kitchen is currently gutted. They say the propane ovens are still there and working better. They plan 2 new convection ovens and a new 30qt mixer. There are no plans for a dishwasher. (Boy Scouts use paper.) Alan has the silverware. Where are the dishes? They will add a walk-in freezer. We need to find out how many cabin/beds there are currently at Lost Lake.

Alan will check into a separate insurance policy to cover camp.

Who has the button maker and do we need supplies? Barbara will look to see if they have it.

Did Barbara offered to send a notice to the Upcoming events of CDSS?

Marty has worked more on the t-shirt design.
