• A current dance schedule was noted in the agenda for review.

 

• Tim Sneed has agreed to organize after-dance activities.  Dianne suggested that someone be invited to organize snacks for the dances.

 

• There was a brief dicussion of Frost Wilkinson, the documentary filmmaker, shooting at a dance. It was agreed that dancers would be notified ahead of time when he would be doing this.

 

• CDSS Summer Camp was discussed. Scholarships are offered for dancers with matching funds (the deadline is 3/17). It was mentioned that perhaps Leslie would like to attend for calling workshops.

 

• Upcoming elections were discussed, and will be announced at the next dance (March 8). The nominating committee will present nominations at the April 12 dance; elections will be held at the May 10 dance.  The nominating committee will be Fred, Dianne and Deborah Hayes. Deborah agreed to prepare ballots once nominees are decided.

 

• A summer event for dancers was discussed and scheduled tentatively for July 12, 2003.  Dianne told the group about a documentary video that’s been lent to our group by Great Meadow Music, and suggested this get-together would be a good venue in which to view it.  She informed us that copies are available for $10 from greatmeadowmusic.com, and that after we view our complimentary copy, we are asked to donate it to a local library.

 

• The meeting was adjourned. Next meeting date is May 8, 2003.
