ACT I Members Present: Mary Horst, Sara Arnold

Call to Order: 6:37 PM

Motion: (Marcy / Larry) To approve the minutes as presented. Motion carried.

Treasurer’s Report: Linda presented the board with printed reports. We currently have $4,505.72 in checking.

Steve pointed out that a line item in the budget report for $900 for royalties for Romeo and Juliet should not charged to that show since no such expense for R&J has occurred or will occur.

Discussion (As part of the treasurer’s report): Baby Sitting The issue of budget line item for baby sitting for directors was raised and discussed. There were varying points of view as to whether this was valid to provide to directors.

Motion: (Ron / Linda) To appoint a committee to establish a "pay scale" for directors. After discussion, the motion was approved with Larry dissenting.

Motion: (Steve / Ron) To approve the Treasurer’s Report as corrected. Motion carried.

Children’s Theatre: It was reported that special extra performances were given for the Lutheran Home of Henny Penny and Stone Soup.

Discussion: Show Budgets. Larry presented his budgets for Forum, Titanic Disaster Hearings, and the Poetry Reading. (Steve had previously presented the budget for Romeo and Juliet.) The budgets were discussed.

Motion: (Marcy / Brian) To approve the budgets for Larry’s three shows. Motion carried.

Motion: (Marcy / Brian) To approve the budget for Romeo and Juliet. Motion carried.

Steve also expressed concern that he had discovered a basketball game was scheduled for opening night. He would check to see how many cast members this actually affected; the opening night might have to be switched. (NOTE: After the meeting, further checking with Andy Smith at the high school revealed that the game was 10^th grade / Varsity only; as there are no varsity players with major roles in the show there will be no need to change the opening night.)

Steve also presented a proposal for a Romeo and Juliet promotion called Tea and Shakespeare. (Board members were polled shortly before the opening of Forum to informally give their approval for the event so that it could be promoted with a flier in the Forum program.)

Linda informed the board that Bev Fiebelkorn would like to do makeup for a show.

Discussion: Vinton Coupons. Brian presented a proposal for a dollar off coupon in a coupon book being prepared by VU.

Motion: (Marcy / Larry) To have a $1.00 off coupon in the book. Motion carried.

Brian suggested that ACT I might want a float in the Homecoming Parade. No one suggested that they would take this project on.

Motion: (Larry/Linda) To adjourn the meeting. Motion carried.

The Meeting was adjourned at 8:11 PM.

Respectfully Submitted,

Steve Arnold
Secretary
