Board Meeting- May 25, 2004
Those present were: Lewis Walling, Valerie DeHoff, Robert King, Katie Baker,
Stella McKnight, Lia Holland, Emily Jones, Jeanette MacCallum, Jeremy Jones,
JJ Ebelhar, David Spencer, and Brenda Jewell.
Robert began a discussion regarding home-schooled students auditioning for
MTVA events. After some discussion, those present agreed that our current
handbook could not handle the issue. Some thought will be given to the
subject. Above all, the board must be proactive.

Board Meeting- August 24
Treasurer's Report- We have a surplus of 4,458.53 for this year. Robert's idea
is to put the surplus back into membership from Mid-State (it makes a lot of
money); should we help the kids who make All-State on their student fees?
Also, choral festival makes a lot of money- should we underwrite some of the
expenses for those groups who go to state?
Lewis would like any suggestions of composers who compose for Women's Choir
for the All-State commissioned piece for 2006.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:30.
