Ladies Auxiliary Minutes
February 17, 2006

Meeting was called to order by our president Nichole Rehkemper.  She handed out an agenda to all members and asked that we follow the agenda so we could complete the meeting in an hour.

Deb Morris, secretary, read the minutes from the last meeting held on September 19, 2005 .  Darlene Harris made a motion to approve and Kathy Huff second.  Motion was approved.

Nichole read the letter about showing rules that was created and sent to the Board of Directors.  The letter re-enforced the rule about members attending meetings and projects before the can show at the Fall Celebration.  A valid spreadsheet with members that are eligible to show will be at the entry office for all shows.  The spreadsheet will be attached to the minutes and it is the members’ responsibility to make sure it is correct.  Each member must sign in at all meetings and projects so that the Auxiliary’s secretary can update this spreadsheet.  If at any time a member finds a mistake they need to contact the secretary immediately.

The Auxiliary rules are that a member’s dues be paid by the end of the Shelbyville Classic horse show.  This year this rule will be enforced at the Fall Celebration so make sure the Auxiliary’s secretary has received your dues.

Glenda Barrow, treasure, handed out a treasure report to all members.  Glenda stated that the only change on the report was that the check for $200.00 to the futurity as not recorded.  As of February 15, 2006 we have a balance of $2,465.19 Gwenn Frederick made a motion to accept, Barb Agnich second.  Motion was approved.

The money we collected at Fall Celebration for the Red Cross has been deposited in the bank.  We are going to keep the money until someone finds a worthy cause where the money will really make a difference.  If you have a good idea where to use this money please bring it to our attention at the next meeting.

A motion to cancel the Sweepstakes was made by Gwenn Frederick, second by LeeAnn Musick.  Motion was passed.

We no longer have a Web Site so the secretary will send the minutes to the Breeders Office and it will be posted on their Web Site.

Gwenn made a motion to have a hamburger and hot dog cookout on Friday night of the Shelbyville Classic.  Motion was seconded and approved.  Deb Morris is in charge of this function and will need help.  Let her know if you have a grill that can be used and if you are willing to help cook. 

Also, it was decided that the Junior Auxiliary be in charged of the games after the show on Friday night of the Shelbyville Classic.  This motion was also approved.

Glenda stated that after the Consignment Sale at the Fall Celebration there were lots of clothing left.  She has it so if anyone if missing anything talk to Glenda.  A motion was made and passed that from now on after a Consignment Sale anything left would be given to the Breeders Office and they could take it to any charity that they felt would benefit from it.

The pizza party will be held during meeting at the Fall Celebration.  The lunch at the Fall Celebration will be conducted the same as last year.  The Auxiliary will furnish the chicken, potato salad, slaw, rolls and plates.  We will need someone to contact the hotels about donating the drinks.  Each member needs to bring a dish to accommodate the menu. 

Kathy Huff will be the Chair person for the Barn Beautification at the Fall Celebration.  If you are interested in helping with this project contact her.

LeeAnn Musick will be in charge of purchasing the awards for the top 5 winners in each class.  She will submit a budget at the Spring Celebration.  Anyone with ideas on this subject need to contact LeeAnn.

Nichole explained how we can make money by passing out Pizza Hut coupons at the Spring and Fall shows.  If the coupon is used we will receive a percentage of the money.  See Nichole at the show to receive your coupons and be sure to give them to everyone you see. 

A motion was passed to increase our yearly dues from $10.00 to $15.00 starting in 2007.

We had to submit 3 names for judges and 1 alternate for the Spring show.  The names we submitted were:  Randy Moore, Kelly France, Terry Stone and Mike Etheredge was the alternate.

Next meeting will be held at the Spring Celebration on Saturday right after the Consignment Sale, approximately noon .

Motion was made by Barb Agnich to adjourn, second by Kathy Huff.  Motion passed.  Meeting was adjourned.
