MTAHA April
17 meeting minutes. Calsonic Arena, 4:00 p.m.
Prior to
the general meeting, there was to be a BOD meeting, but all BOD
members were not present, and some MTAHA members were in
attendance. Also, some BOD members were called away to prepare
for the Drill Team demo that evening. Therefore, it is unclear
when the BOD meeting became the general meeting, though
President Jennifer Schanhals called a meeting to order at 4:49
p.m.
All present
for some portion of the meeting(s):Jennifer Schanhals, Darlene
Dixon-Bottorff, Marcia Richardson, Andra Kowalczyk Martens, Eva
Woodring, Lora Chilton, Angie Belgard, Scherra Vallely, Gail
McKernan, Mary Ann McCarthy, Kevin Willams, Sarah Bulter, Greg,
Heidi, and Rebekah Stoegner, Shelly Fugitt, Rebekah Hall,
Stannye Scott, Danny Thompson, and John Morici.
Motion by
Shelly Fuggit, 2nd by Danny Thompson to hold the approval of the
minutes when they can be read at our next meeting. Motion
passed.
Marcia gave
the Treasure’s Report, noting the balance plus CD. She stated
that there were two recent expenditures, one for the deposit for
the Fun Show at Clearview Farm and one for insurance. She also
stated there would be two upcoming expenditures: one for a
deposit for the Music City Show at Miller Colesium, and on fore
Fun Show ribbons.
Danny
talked about the Fun Show coming up on May 29, 2010 which will
be held at Clear View Horse Farm in Shelbyville, TN. Volunteers
still needed.
Jennifer reported that this
year there should not be a conflict with our Music City Show and
Sport Horse Nations. It is going to be in Idaho this year. The
Music City Show may have to change dates for 2011 and beyond
when it will come back to Lexington, KY.
No charge for members to sign
up for the MTAHA High Point Program, but is open to any
non-member for a fee, check our website.
Jennifer & Danny will attend the
TN 4-H 5th annual MTSU Horse Program Awards Banquet Horse
Awards. MTAHA is donating $ 1,500.00 to the MTSU Horse Program &
Three individual $ 250.00 Scholars.
There was
some discussion for ideas of membership drive, with the goal of
reaching a total membership number of at least 101 in order to
earn a third delegate for convention. New members would need to
be signed up by June 1. John Morici has recently signed up
several new members in TN, TX, and WI. As of the date of this
meeting, there were 92 members. (This number as of May 18, 2010
has dropped to 85 total.)
There was a
review of Committee members. So far the Bylaws Committee has met
online only. The Show Committee has not met. There was no Youth
Committee report, as there has been no forward progress on two
Scout projects.
Lora
Chilton is to check on the "Spring Hill Paper" for advertising
rates for our fun Show.
There was a
question regarding the November meeting’s postponing of a vote
on amendments proposed in October. After some discussion, it was
determined that our bylaws require forward movement on the
matter, and that the amendments needed to go before the general
membership for a vote. The amendments below were read. Darlene
Dixon-Bottorff made a motion to approve the By-Law changes, 2nd
by Kevin Williams.
Motion passed 10 to
4.
