sessions. We also need
to recognize Jennifer & Taylor for submitting the program/ice
show artwork.
Skating
Show:
Costumes: Costumes were
ordered before the Grand Forks competition and the company was given a
deadline for delivery of 2/25/07.
On last update, the company gave an order delivery date of
4/13/07.
Obviously, this won’t work so Kim is going to her plan B and
having them sent overnight from an alternative company. Hope for the best! It was decided that we need
to have a group mom assigned for contact
reasons.

the Deaf to see if they can sign the anthem during Sunday’s show at
2:30. Mark will check with Mike
for the Saturday and Monday 6:30 shows.
Program: Judy will coordinate with
Reslock Printing if the
Mercy
Hospital
print shop is unable
to print them due to time restrictions.
Girl/Boy
Number:
Joyce wants final approval on costumes so that there isn’t a
costume “malfunction”.
This is a big concern after last
year.
Color
Guard:
Jody will contact the ROTC and arrange to have the color
guard at all three performances.
Master &
Mistress of Ceremonies: Jeff Klemetsrud and Vicki
McMullen have agreed to serve in this position. A meeting will have to be
set up to prepare the script.
Flowers: Sue will take care of
ordering 450 carnations and 5 senior bouquets to be given to the
seniors at each performance.
She will also take care of each bouquet after the shows so
that they stay fresh for each presentation.
Other: It was reported that the
show order is complete except to clarify some basic skill skater’s
names.
Stacey will deliver
tickets to Leevers and Wallys. She will contact
Gary Axtman regarding setting up photo sessions for individual
competitors and she will update the endowment donation listing for
the ice show program.
Jody will be in charge
of “Happy Grams” and will have the forms at the Burdick on
Sunday. She will
contact Sam Johnson to have him tape a video of the Sunday
performance. She will

testing levels for each skater.
Bonnie’s mom will donate
a quilt to be raffled off at the ice show.

Hall
Jody called the meeting
to order at 5:30 p.m.
Secretary’s Report: Members did not receive the
secretary’s e-mail. She
will bring hard copies of the report to the next
meeting.
Treasurer’s Report: Stacey distributed
copies of the club’s balance sheet. It was noted that the club
spent approximately $25 more on syncro dresses than what was
collected. It was
decided that we will waive this and not bill the members. The club ordered syncro
tights and each team member needs to reimburse the club $15.25 per
pair. The company we
ordered them from did not fill the order; Stacey will contact them
and have them send the back ordered tights.
There are two new members that
joined Boy’s Hockey Power class. Sue made a motion to charge
them $50 for membership and they will be required to pay the $7.50
skating fee. Mark
seconded the motion; carried.
Old Business: A motion had been made
previously by Mark to have our pizza fundraiser through Proz. Judy seconded the motion;
carried.
Testing will be held the
weekend of February 23rd. Louann Krein is taking care
of the testing forms.
Cost of the testing will remain the same except dance was
increased $5 to cover expenses. The testing partner will be
here early enough in the week to hold practice with the
testers. The club will
need to reimburse the judges their expenses.
Two pieces of artwork were
submitted for the Mardi Gras on Ice theme. Judy made a motion that a
free ice show shirt be given to both participants of the art
contest. Bonnie
seconded the motion; carried.
Sue will take the artwork to Creative Impressions and have
them do a mockup design.
The youth syncro team did not
hold together very well this year. Jody made a motion to
reimburse the fees collected back to the members. Sue seconded the motion;
carried. Joyce reported
she didn’t charge them for moves classes.
Jody e-mailed the non-profit ad
to the Journal.
New Business: Stacey reported that we
need a US Figure Skating sanction to hold the ice show. She will submit the
form. Stacey will also
get a raffle permit from the city so we can raffle various items
during the ice show. We
will have a 50/50 raffle and Kim and Joyce offered to donate gift
baskets.
Ice show supplies were
discussed. We will
order the brick; curtain streamers; metallic masks beads; and
purple, gold and green balloons. It was decided to purchase
500 beads to sell during the show. We will only sell carnations
this year because we lost money offering roses last year. Jody has made 600 tickets
and we will give each member 10 to sell when we distribute the
fundraiser pizzas.
Endowment sponsor tickets will be white and not
numbered. All other
tickets are purple.
Stacey will contact Tiffany
Sten to see if she will recruit sponsors for our show program. She did an excellent job
last year and had previously offered to donate her services again
this year. Stacey made a motion to give her $50 in chamber bucks as
a thank you. Kathy
seconded the motion; carried.
Judy will check with Mercy
Hospital to see
if they would donate the production of the ice show programs. 475 booklets were produced
last year and it was decided we will only order 300 this
year.
WDAZ communications will be
contacted to help promote the ice show and Kim & Joyce will be
on coffee time.
Gary Axtman will be taking show
pictures on Sunday, February 25th at the Burdick. A schedule will be posted as
soon as finalized. Jody
& Sue will help supervise during the process.
Next Meeting: An ice show meeting will be
held Sunday, February 18th at 4
p.m. at the
Burdick.
Motion to adjourn was made by
Mark and seconded by Jody.
Meeting adjourned at 6:55 p.m.

Board Meeting Minutes

Members Present: Sue Armstrong, Mark
Estenson, Jody Goodell-Lange, Bonnie Howatt, Stacey Lilleberg and
Judy Estenson
Absent: Dan Lagein and Kathy
Klemetsrud
Guest: Joyce
Sauvageau
Jody called the meeting
to order at 5:30
p.m.
Secretary’s Report: Reviewed and
approved.
Treasurer’s Report: Stacey reported that the
dresses for the Super Star syncro team cost about $290 over what was
collected from the skaters.
This will be taken out of the last fundraiser and Stacey will
give Kim a total of what’s left of the funds to be spent on a meal
for the team at competition.
Kim has requested
prepayment for her coaching fees. The board discussed the
current financial situation and Stacey made a motion to give Kim a
prepayment of $500.
Mark seconded; motion carried.
Stacey also reported on
the DL Area Foundation review.
The balance in the fund is $183,233.63 which showed a total
return of $16,504.64 which is a 9.73% return. Way to go Stacey!
Joyce requested a count
of hockey power registration and fees collected to date. Also, she would like a list
of class registration for moves and syncro class.
Old Business: Joyce brought pizzas
from Proz for the board to taste-test. YUM! The club could buy any kind
of pizza for $4 each and we’d sell them for $7. Net profit per pizza would
be $3. The board felt
it would be a good idea to support a local business instead of
purchasing pizzas from out of town. Mark and Joyce will finalize
the terms. The board
would like to get sale sheets out on January 31st and
have them handed in February 14th. We will need to finalize
dates with Proz.
New Business: Bonnie reported that
Four Winds will let us borrow two lamp posts for the ice show! We are looking at ways to
cut costs on decorating for the ice show. Last year the show made
$11,645 and spent $4,700 which only netted
$6,945.
The Devils Lake Journal
runs a non-profit section in the paper in February. Mark made a motion to
advertise the ice show titled “Mardi Gras on Ice” in that section
for a cost of $52.50.
Bonnie seconded; motion carried.
The dates for the ice
show were discussed. It
was mentioned that the Just For Kix group would be in Fargo
Saturday, March 17th. Jody made a motion to have
the skating show on Sunday, March 18 at 2 p.m. and a second show at
6:30 p.m. with
the final show on Monday, March 19 at 6:30 p.m. Judy seconded; motion
carried.
Admission fee for the
show will be $5 in advance and $6 at the door. Jody will make up the
tickets. We are still
planning on an artwork contest for the show design.
Jody Hahn volunteered to
supervise the ice from 2-4 p.m. on Wednesdays.
The board will look at presenting her with a thank you gift
closer to the end of the season.
Many board members have
been approached regarding lessons and testing. There have been concerns
that Kim is not there for lessons. Jody will visit with Kim and
ask her to bring schedule changes up in advance so there is no
confusion. It was
mentioned that Basic Skills classes would only have 4 lessons
between test sessions unless a substitute were brought in when Kim
is away at competition.
It was decided that Kim will need to find a substitute for
the 3 competition Sundays.
Jody will suggest some names to Kim. The board would like to see
Kim more involved during testing sessions and have the final
pass/fail be up to her.
The Langdon club had
asked our Super Stars to perform during their ice show but it falls
on the same weekend as our testing schedule.
Bonnie reported that she
has updated some basic information on our Web Site. The board was really happy
that someone took the initiative to jump in and start working on
this vital information network. Thanks Bonnie!
Next Meeting: Monday,
February 5, 2007 at
5:30 p.m. at
the PATH office.
Motion to adjourn was
made by Sue and seconded by Mark. Meeting adjourned at
