Presentation of the Treasurer’s Report by Sean K.
Reports:
Chair: Not too much to report since the last meeting guys. Our events committee
has been really active and I’m happy to see that, and to see some
new events coming soon, especially the dance since we’ve never actually
held our own official dance. I have been trying to spread the word, and
I am going to push for a good attendance of new faces at the next Committee
Meeting in April. I think it would be great if we could get some new people
interested in ICYPAA and SMICYPAA enough to sign up and go down to New Orleans
in the Summer with us. I’m looking forward to this upcoming month
and the various committee meetings that will be occurring.
Travis W.
Co-Chair: Still helping wherever needed and possible. I’ve been helping
out with events planning. I’m looking forward to the big dance. I’ve
posted all the info on our website. I’m happy to see all the SMICYPAA
newcomers here today. Thanks for the opportunity to be of service.
Ian S.
Bid Book Committee: Nothing to report.
Susan Mc.
Outreach Committee: We’re working with Kansas City on some possible
events, and possibly another campout. Jason went to fulfill a speaking commitment
at Comtrea, and would like a list of people who are willing to go out to
their teen center at 4pm on Tuesdays to give a one hour talk, with time
for comments and questions. If any one’s interested in helping out
with this service opportunity, contact Jason, our Outreach Chair.
Bill P., Outreach Committee Co-Chair
Hotels / Facilities Committee: We are now holding our dates for Memorial
Day 2007 at the Renaissance. I am meeting with Rose from the Millenium Hotel
on Tuesday, March 20th. I will be contacting the Adam’s Mark soon.
Also, I have my hotel room secured for ICYPAA 48!
Mike P.
Events: We had an events meeting and 4 plus the chair attended. We figured
out the dance was going to be March 25th and it is going to be a modern
style dance. The dance is going to be at 5700 Leona in the City. We also
discussed possibly having a mystery night in April and we’re definitely
having a BBQ on the Monday of memorial weekend. We need someone to get on
that ASAP. Next meeting will be Sunday the 12th to discuss the dance and
mystery night.
Brian L.
Merchandise: Shirts will be on sale at the next event.
Dan H.
Group Communications Committee: There will be a sub-committee meeting on
Tuesday, March 28th at 8pm at the Starbucks on Lindbergh and Clayton in
Frontenac. I need a lot of help and it will be great if anyone can come
and be willing to divvy up district meetings to go to. I am looking forward
to the dance coming up – I know it will be a huge success.
