2011 Minutes

April 2010: Meeting was brought to order by our club President Deb Knappenburger @ 3:00 pm. As we all stood around and ate, several topics were discussed and voted on. (Acting recording secretary was Karen Freeborn)
1) We will continue to offer the Champion Select sponsorship at a fee higher than WB/WB. The Select sponsorship will be $35 (Motion carried- Karen F. and Lee K.)
2) We will continue to support the herding trial at Amanda’s place (Del-Bay) under ACDCA. (Motion carried- Lee K. and Barb F.)
3) A herding fun day was benched for now.
4) A discussion about having a “regional specialty” in conjunction with the Harrisburg April show took place. There was to be a committee formed to investigate the possibilities of such an event. Monica and Karen talked about doing this.
5) It was voted on that will alternate our prize list, The April show will have Loot Buckets/Baskets and the August will have a shadow box. This way we know in advance and can have the appropriate information placed in the premium list. (Motion carried- Lee K. and Barb F.)
6) Also a discussion about club membership and AKC accreditation ensued. (no motion was made)
Meeting adjourned. @ 3:30 pm

August 2010: Minutes from General Meeting August 14, 2011
President, Deb Knappenberger, called meeting to order at 10 AM.

President’s Report: Herding trial went very well; sent both judges $25 AMEX gift cards as recommended by Amanda so we can insure future judges. All trophies were finally sponsored for today’s (August) supported entry.

VP Report: none

Minutes from previous meeting: not available

Treasurer’s Report: provided by Deb Mills: $4079.66 Bank account
$ 741.71 Paypal account
$4821.37 Total funds
Upcoming bills: August trophies (donated by Glenn & Robin Norton and Deb Knappenberger); insurance

Old Business: Revisited herding fun day & provided the options of having the event at Amanda’s place which would cost each member approximately $40 to $50; having the event either at Cynthia Knowlton’s or Sara Reiter’s but those are both much further of a drive; suggested that we send something out on Facebook to see if there are any other options for venue.
Deb Knappenberger expressed concern over the lack of sponsors for the supported entries and wanted the membership to vote on the continuation of both or one supported entry. Discussion that because of the National being so close to the August show most likely the reason. Lee Kephart made the motion to continue to support both entries for Harrisburg Kennel Club, one in April and other in August, 2nd by Karen Freeborn; we will have the baskets/pails for the April show and engraved picture frames for the August show. Motion passed unanimously.

Karen Freeborn made a motion that the Select trophy should be equal to Best of Breed and Best of Opposite, 2nd by Lee Kephart. Motion passed unanimously.

Karen Freeborn will contact Cheryl Carey about confirming date for Christmas party and Annual meeting scheduled for December.

New Business: Deb K expressed concerned over members not renewing and the reasons this is occurring. Discussion that we need a membership directory send to all members. Lee K made the motion to create the membership directory, 2nd by Karen Freeborn. Motion passed unanimously.

Lee K made the motion to keep the current Board of Directors in place unless any other members volunteer; 2nd by Karen Freeborn. David Steward will head the nominating committee and Lee offered assistance. Motion passed unanimously.

Monica Shifflet would like the club to do a regional specialty rather than a supported entry. She doesn’t believe it would involve much more than we already do for the supported entry. Karen Freeborn offered assistance. It would need to be held under the auspices of the National Club and Monica will approach the Board of Directors for their permission at the National Specialty in September. Monica made the motion to approach the National Club Board for their permission to hold a regional specialty in 2013; 2nd by Karen Freeborn. Motion passed unanimously to request the National Club’s permission.

Monica also questioned about obtaining a tablecloth with the club’s logo embroidered. Glenn and Robin will obtain pricing and Monica S will also contact Deb Mills for her contact for pricing. Tabled until we have pricing to vote at the annual meeting in December.

Karen Freeborn made the motion to adjourn; 2nd by Lee Kephart. Meeting adjourned at 10:30 AM.
