Notes - October 17, 2000

McNamara's, Potsdam, NY

  1. Present: Bob Neulieb (Clayton FSC), Mary Martin (Norfolk-Norwood FSC), Tamasina Sharlow (Norfolk-Norwood FSC),  Brenda Gravander (Potsdam FSC), and Bill Mein (Potsdam FSC). Note: no quorum.

  2. Treasurer's Report: couple more clubs paid plus interest.

  3. Upcoming test session: 11/18/00 - PFSC. PreGold Dance and Gold everything else.

  4. USFSA Nominating committee request from Shirley Bourquin for committee chairs and members at large. Some clubs are nominating Bill Mein for Member at Large.
      Shortly, we should receive a request for nominations for committee membership.

      If you would like to have your name or anyone else's name submitted, put together a little bio for everyone's reference.

  5. Taxes - queried if anyone thought we needed to have another session with a tax advisor.
    It is important to note that clubs now have sufficient funds passing through their treasury to get the attention of tax folks.
    And, since we have discussed this several times, playing ignorant of the rules won't fly.
    Another point is that since clubs sponsor Synchro Teams, the club would probably be held liable if they are not following the tax rules.

  6. USFSA has established a Strategic Planning Committee. Our's (North Atlantic) will meet Thursday in Amherst. Heather would like Northern Council representation. No one is able to attend.

  7. PFSC's Basic Skills program has grown since last year. Clayton's numbers are lower than last year.

  8. Next Meeting: November 21st, 2000, 7:00pm, McCarthy's, Canton, NY. Note: The November was cancelled due to inclement weather conditions.
