Old Business - At this time we discussed the Open and youth specialty shows at the PaSRBA spring show on February 6th and 7th 1999. There will be both an open and youth specialty in conjunction with the all breed shows on Saturday and Sunday. We agreed to use their judges so we voted on which of the 8 judges they have hired we would like to have. We were to pick three from the list as our vote. There would be the top two chosen and the third as the alternate in case something happened that one of the other two weren’t going to make it. The votes went as follows:
Susan Berry 2
Kim Berry -0-
Roger Cota 6
Frank DelMastro 3
Owen Yates 2
Bonnie Burdick 1
Robert Frizzell 4
Sam Rizzo 6
The two chosen were Roger Cota [6] and Sam Rizzo [6] with Robert Frizzell as the alternate. We will have one judge for open on Saturday and the other on Sunday and the reverse for the youth.
Ladonna Martin has volunteered to do the catalogs, Heidi Young is acting as secretary for all four shows, and Bob Rohrbaugh will be superintendent for all four shows, and Jaylene is taking care of the awards for the four shows. Anyone wishing to donate specials, please contact her.
The March meeting will require the election of new officers. At the March 1st 1998 meeting we had elections for the offices of VP, Secretary and Treasurer so the other offices will be up at that time.
New Business - Ron Dixon requested that people send in news, articles or pictures for the newsletter.
At the Midnight Madness meeting we discussed the possibility of a show in conjunction with their show. They were open to the prospect with the conditions that we pay $50 and have 2 sturdy people to help with the setup and breakdown. We would have to have both shows [open and youth] finished by 7pm when their show starts. There was the option to use one of their judges [DelMastro, Franklin, or Stewart] or hire our own judge. Julie Tune expressed that it was a problem that they were not having a youth all breed show there, and that it would be a long day for the youth and not worth it for them since it wasn’t a double. The problem of the earlier date for the show, the first week in June, was also brought up, and that it would interfere with the Broome County double show on the same weekend. It was also mentioned that Darlene LaRochelle was unable to judge that weekend, because of graduation. Because of these considerations, it was decided to not have the specialty in conjunction with the Leesport Midnight Madness show this year.
It was brought up whether we would want to have another specialty with the South Jersey show, and there was discussion about how late the youth was there being judged this year, because of having to wait until after the open show was finished. Suggestions were welcomed for any other suggestions on shows that would have a good draw for open and youth. It was decided that we would send bids for judges for the South Jersey show tentatively, depending on the confirmation of their show date. It was decided that the South Jersey show would be fine, if we could hire our own judge, and run the specialty at the same time as the all breed show, providing this was approved by their club. If there were any “yes” responses from judges before the March show, we agreed to vote on-line if necessary for preferences on the judges.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:55 a.m.
