5. Old/New Business: All

a. Elections:

Linda Mackey presented the nominating slate consisting of Rosemary Freedman
for president, John Kaufman for vice president, Linda Mackey for secretary,
Brian Mackey for treasurer, and Judy Vaskorlis for board member. Brian
Mackey stated that if an individual is on the nominating slate, they do not
need to be present at the meeting to be elected, but those who wish to be
nominated from the floor will need to be present at the meeting. The
nomination slate was unanimously approved by the membership. Amanda Welsh
was nominated from the floor for the position of board member, but she
withdrew her nomination when she learned that the current constitution only
allows for one board member. Brian stated that in order to have more than
one board member on the chapter board, it will require an amendment to the
constitution. All who were on the nominating slate were elected by
acclamation.



b. Winter Dance Party:

Rosemary Freedman reminded all that we will be holding our Winter Dance
Party on February 18th, starting at 6:30pm. Tickets purchased online are
$15 per person and $20 per person at the door. We are collecting raffle
baskets at this time for the event. All proceeds collected by the chapter
in sponsorships along with the chapter’s take of the proceeds on the night
of the event will stay with the chapter. Mark Millisock and Barb Chrisman
requested a spending budget for purchasing decorations for the event. Mike
Babb motioned to spend up to $200 for decorations, seconded by John
Kaufman, and unanimously approved. Mark will submit all receipts for
approval.
