  • Morgan will notify those requesting placings.
  • All Pinto reports have been completed and mailed for this show.
  • The difficulty of Moolah tracking was discussed briefly.
  • Sara is no longer able to be Show Manager for double judged Pinto approved shows. Discussion followed that office help and possibly others should be paid for working these shows since so much work is required.

LaMere/Krig M/S/C that Sara will ask John Mueller if he will be the Show Manager for the Fall DCC and how much he would charge for this service. Sara will get back with his answer one week from this meeting. If he is not available, then a vote is needed regarding the future of the Fall DCC.

Lisa LaMere will enter expenses into a show report. Smith/Boyd M/S/C to pay Morgan $100.00 for her work on the Fuzzy show.
