1. Those present: Sue Cole, Stan Read, Alan Braley, Lynn Basham, Charley Basham, Kathy Gingrich, Todd Paris, and Marty Baldridge

2. Time, Date, Place of next meeting: Thursday Jan 11, Alaskaland 5:30 P.M. (This was changed from our original plan to meet on Jan 18 because of a schedule conflict with the next Corporation meeting.)

3. Treasurers Check-in: For the year, Alan says we have a net operating loss of $25, excluding memberships. As a fund-raiser we would like to have a potluck and silent auction and maybe afternoon workshops on Feb 17, the day that Kari will be in town to call the dance with Frostfire. Ideas for workshops include couple dances (waltz, hambo, schottische), contra beginning or advanced, and English country (ask Ken?)

4. Membership Check-in. Stan says we have 157 current members. A suggestion was made that the next time we have a membership dance that we let those people who are new or renewing members in free (rather than everyone).

5. Webmaster tells all: Gary is not able to be here.

6. Dance master Check-in: Jim's not able to be here.

10. Student Rep Report: Suzy's not able to be here.

11. Newsletter Report: The next newsletter deadline is the 2nd week in Jan. Stan suggested including an article from Dancing Bears newsletter about KGB and Erik. Todd could include some things from the Web or from CDSS. He has gotten no e-mails on the music during the break, but he got one positive comment on a membership form.

12. Scheduler's Report: Kathy has the spring schedule. There is a general need for callers. Stan will call Kathy and ask her to talk to Scott Darter about calling. 13. Anything else?
