MEETINGS; MINUTES: ------------------------------------------------------ Unapproved Minutes, Annual Membership Meeting held at Jorgensen Meeting Center / Helena, Montana November 5, 2011 The meeting was called to order by President Cindy Fonger. The Treasurers report was reviewed and approved. Old Business topics covered were Cook Book Sales, the MTApHC web page, and the viability of a stand alone or partnership 2012 MTApHC Show.  If you are interested in purchasing a MTApHC Cookbook, contact Kim Dishman. Kim Dishman reports Cook Book sales have tapered way down due to the initial diligence of member sales, and members still having books on hand need to try to get sales utilizing seasonal venues. While the sales have paid the cost of the printing and generated a return, there are still many books to sell to help the MTApHC account. MTApHC Royalty could be a big help in making more sales if they are able to attend horse activities and possibly have a table to attract buyers to. A list of Royalty addresses, and the availability of cook books, needs to be attempted and Royalty addresses sent to Kim Dishman to coordinate. Linda Threlkeld reported being in touch with the lady that has re-established the MTApHC web site. Members and officers need to make sure that they send information to post on the web site to Donna Grace weblackey@yahoo.com or to Kim Dishman @ heritageapys@aol.com. Members really need to get the information to Donna before April 2012, as that is the end of the year set up and we will incur more fees if there is too much added after this date. The MTApHC site can be updated periodically after this time if the changes are small scale. Officers of the MTApHC need to get a photo sent in to post on the web site. {Actually, don't worry about this, just get the info to me as you get it... I am not watching the calendar. In fact, my goal is to achieve a higher quality website over time as I study more, so this is not an issue for me. ~DG} The status of the annual horse show was addressed, since the 2011 show was canceled due to the EHV-1 virus outbreak. After much serious discussion it was voted by the membership to bow out of the Jewel of the Big Sky (June 23 & 24 in Billings)and pledge to assist the Eastern MT ApHC with our support but not to interfere with their plans. As part of the discussion, the Great Falls State Fair Show was considered as a venue for the MTApHC show. The combined horse show at the State Fair was found to be a more cost effective endeavor and membership voted to split 50/50 on holding the 2012 Montana State Show with the Western MT ApHC at the Great Falls State Fair - August 4 & 5,2012. This show give MTApHC members a little more needed time to acquire donations/sponsorships to help fund the reasonable fees of the combined breed show. After the vote to join the State Fair combined horse breed show and discussion of funding and the limits on our present funds, member Dan Gervais started the coffers with a very generous donation to the show. Members are encouraged to start now to get donations/sponsorships. A show committee was formed with Anita Wilson as Chairperson and John Wilson, Steve Graham, Kim Graham and Jan Phillips as show committee members with input from all members sought. New Business was then addressed. It was proposed that the by-laws be upgraded and refined/simplified to permit an easier, user friendly format. A committee was formed to send out a copy of the current by-laws and the proposed upgraded simplifications for review. Members also clarified the definition for MTApHC "Family Membership" as being related and abiding in the same household. It was also felt that there needed to be a 13 and under membership fee. It was voted to add a 13 and Under membership fee of $5.00 per youth, snf s 14-18 youth membership to be $10.00. Anita Wilson suggested a newsletter for the information updates on the meeting and a Dues reminder! Elections were next on the agenda, and the results are at the top of this page. The meeting was adjourned and members looked forward to the awards and banquet dinner following the adjournment. Next Directors Meeting was tentatively scheduled for January 7, 2012 at Wheat Montana @ 10:00 a.m. |
