III.      Old Business:  

a)      Review of Bylaws: Kim Jones has not been able to review the proposed bylaws changes.  The Board expressed concern over the delay.

b)      Grassroots to Champions Seminar:  Twenty registrations have been received.  Sam has dropped the seminar to the C level based on the number of participants, which means that we will have one fewer coaches. Participants should bring sneakers and jump ropes. Reservations have been made at the Best Western, but some Board members felt that the accommodations there may not be adequate, so Sam will look into alternative options.  Linda Gettier will purchase name tags.  Lunches are pending.

The theme will be Reach for the Stars.  The Board decided not to cover the windows in order to promote membership in the club.  Each Freestyle student will receive a free ticket which Roy volunteered to take care of.  We could do with just two judges if necessary.  License plate holders will be given away.  We will not do raffle tickets.  The last sign-up date is May 1. Bottled water will be available in the locker rooms.  We will need three locker rooms.  We will also need eight tables.
