Tabled until additional information is gathered.

Discussion turned to the possibility of hosting the ADGA Convention.  Bev mentioned the large commitment of animals for the judging that is required – 100 – 110.  Members present decided to visit with others during the show season to secure a rough count of individuals who would commit their animals before actually sending information to the ADGA Convention Committee.  At the Wyoming State Fair on August 14, a informal meeting will be held to discuss the findings.  On Sept 7 WDGA Board of Directors will hold a meeting to decide if the bid from WDGA will be sent to ADGA.

WDGA MEETING MINUTES

OCTOBER 10, 2010

The meeting was called to order at 12:35 p.m. with the following members present.

            Joellen Strode                                                   Linda Johnson

            Ken Johnson                                                    Cindy Hamilton

            Karen Butler                                                      Shannon Peterson and Bree  

            Judy Svendson and Darian

Minutes of the previous meeting were posted on line and in the newsletter.  A treasurer's report on the Fuzzy Show in May, the WSF Show in August, and a report from the January 2010 meeting to present were presented. Shannon made the motion to accept the reports and Jo seconded the motion.  Motion passed.

A separate report was presented on the comparison of the Fuzzy Quad Show with the Fuzzy Double Show showing a small increase in numbers enough to show a profit for the added expenses.  The members present decided the Quad Show should continue.  No Official vote was taken.

President then called for correspondence and thank you notes from Hannah Larson for the Scholarship money, a second from Kaylee Greenwald, and a third from McKenna Carnahan for WDGA’s support of the awards at State Fair.

Committee reports were then given by chairs present.  Joellen presented a WDGA Window decal as a possible fundraiser.  She will bring them to the annual meeting in January to take orders.  Web site needs to be updated – Shannon volunteered to assist.  Judy reported the National Show has accepted the theme as HEARTS.

The suggestion for a Buck Show in June was again addressed with the question of how to justify the cost and actually pay for the show.  Contact will be made with the Buck Frenzy that is taking place in Missouri this month and see what can be learned.

The remainder of the meeting then turned to the possible change of the show site for the Fuzzy Show from Cheyenne to Torrington.  After a long back and forth discussion of pros and cons, Judy made the motion to move the Fuzzy show from Cheyenne to Torrington.  Cindy seconded the motion.  Motion Passed.

Plans will proceed to make this change.  Because of this decision, the Fuzzy Show Committees will be changed and reports were not necessary.  New business of considering an additional showmanship, and a youth show were also tabled while the club focus turns to the new location. 

The WSF awards were suggested to be just the Best in Show for both seniors and juniors, and Best Udder and allow the premiums WDGA offers to the 1st-3rd placings as trophies.  Also providing “special awards” for the individual who traveled the most miles and entered the most animals were suggested.  A vote was not taken on this suggestion.

President Linda appointed Joellen as the member at large – nomination chairman.  A slate of officers will be presented on and voted at the annual meeting in January.

This meeting was set for January 22, 2011 at Scotties Pizza @ 2:00 p.m.  Meeting was adjourned at 2:35 p.m.

Respectfully submitted,

Karen Butler acting as Secretary for Judy Svendson
