OLD BUSINESS:
“Jump in the Skillet”
band was a great success. We are looking forward to a repeat performance.
Cub Callers: George Snyder's
request, at last meeting, to call a whole Friday night was discussed
at length. The committee decided that CCD will make decisions dealing
with Cub Callers based on a policy dealing with such matters. We discussed
policy based on past history, as well as future implications.
a) It has been CCD's practice that a caller who is ready to call a whole
Friday night, will be eligible to be put on rotation. This policy will
hold.
b) Cub Callers fall into 2 categories:
1) First level beginner Cub Callers: they
may call 1, 2 or 3 dances approximately
once per month,
2) Second level experienced Cub Callers: may
call half a Friday night dance,
together with an experienced caller, once per quarter.
CCD sets a limit
to two half-night cub callers per quarter.
c) The CCD Steering Committee will decide by a consensus vote when a
Cub Caller is ready to move from calling half of a Friday night to a
full Friday night, which means this caller will be ready for regular
rotation. The CCD Steering Committee will invite the Cub Caller whom
it has voted on to be ready for such a move.
d) All callers, cub callers and regular callers will arrange scheduling
with Dennis.
The CCD Steering Committee established the above policy
by consensus.
NEW BUSINESS:
Scheduling Friday Night Dances,
as per Seth's e-mail letter, attached to these minutes:
a) bands are designated "local" or "out of town"
based on geographic location
b) Seth will be requested to forward to the CCD Steering Committee,
via e-mail, a quarterly schedule of bands and callers
c) Out of town bands which are scheduled far in advanced should be reviewed
by the Steering Committee
d) Fees: local bands: band gets $300, caller gets $50
out
of town bands: band gets $400, caller gets $100
November
Dance Weekend: special fees apply
Role of CCD President
Although the president signs legal papers and contracts, all decisions
concerning CCD activities should be brought to the Steering Committee
for action, as per the bylaws.
November Dance Weekend
Schedule and theme to be discussed at next meeting
A theme contest will be organized by Janet Shepherd
Doug reported that most of the contracts for the band members and callers
have been signed and returned.
Morningside Dance Floor
Doug reminded the committee that our agreement with the church is to
refinish the floor as needed. The committee decided to refinish the
floor during the November Dance Weekend. The committee discussed that
we need to be firmer regarding our proper dance shoes policy. Newcomers
don't seem to know about it. We will ask Fern to make a large sign and
we will list our shoe policy on the printed schedule, as well as in
the upcoming new directory (under policies).
Coat Rack
Lilian will buy a rolling coat rack that can be rolled in and out of
the gym. . Coats which have been abused and stepped on will have a coat
rack with hangers. Coat hangers will be donated.
equipment and give a simple demo to the Steering Committee at the next
meeting.
First Aid Equipment
Roger McLain, trained in CPR, suggested some basic life saving equipment
to be purchased and kept at the dance. Minutes of proper technique with
the right tools can save a life. Roger will let CCD know about prices
of the basic equipment and give a simple demo to the Steering Committee
at the next meeting.
Fans - A/C - Water - Wall in parking

We discussed the need for fans, but decided instead to focus on getting
the a/c fully functioning. Doug will speak to Morningside regarding
this matter. At the same time, he will bring up plumbing needs (running
toilets) and installing a new water fountain with good water. Tony Sharko,
stone mason, offered to organize and supervise repairing a stone wall
in the parking area.
Finances
a) Financial statements are available to anyone attending a Steering
Committee meeting, as well as to anyone who requests a copy.
b) "Jump in the Skillet" band donated $180 to Chris to buy

night May dance weekend income at the previously agreed rate of $6.00
per person.
