PACIFIC NORTH WEST DRILL TEAM ASSOCIATION
Meeting
Minutes
March
18, 2000
The meeting was called
to order at noon by Gail Williams with approximately 25 people in attendance.
It was decided to dispense with the reading of the February meeting minutes
since they had been posted on the web site.
Gail reported that there
was $355.00 in the PNWDTA checking account. The no-fee checking account
was set up at Washington Mutual. Gail further reported there were
currently 4 team and 2 individual paid memberships, and a membership pending
of a Montana team. Carla Valentine paid membership dues for the CC Riders
Drill Team, bringing the total team memberships to five. Additional
individual memberships were paid by Sherry Hunter and Gail Culver bringing
the total of individual members to four.
There was discussion
on several facilities to be considered for the First Annual PNWDTA Competition.
These included: Goldendale, WA., The Dalles, OR. Rodeo Grounds and
Saddle Club and McMinneville, Oregon. After further discussion of the
dates and conflicting events taking place it was moved and seconded by Carla
Valentine and Maria Haaby respectively, to hold our event at the Goldendale,
Washington facility. Motion passed unanimously. The Goldendale
facility is available for the weekend of July 22-23, 2000 and at a cost of
$250.00 per day for the arena use. Gail reported that this facility
has a very nice large outdoor arena with stabling and camping.
It was further agreed
upon by the members present that the following events will make up the competition:
Freestyle, Short Program, Open, Impromptu and Teams of Four. There
was some discussion regarding Rodeo Flag Teams but no decision was reached.
The "Open" event may be entered by non-member teams at an additional fee
to be determined at a later date. This yet undetermined amount required
of non-member teams over the usual $50.00 entry fee will be applied to their
PNWDTA Membership should they decide to join the organization.
After some discussion
on the insurance requirements for holding the competition it was decided
that Western Express will act as the hosting team for the event so the insurance
requirements could be met by their policy.
The following
individuals were nominated and elected to serve as PNWDTA officers for the
year 2000-2001:

There was concern expressed
by some members present that promotional information about PNWDTA was not
reaching all that might be interested in joining the organization.
Sherry Hunter will include
details regarding PNWDTA in the Oregon State information she distributes.
Maria Haaby and other members will also be distributing PNWDTA flyers at
events they attend. Verna will continue to maintain the web site and
see that it is submitted to search engines and further promoted on the Internet.
Gail Williams will
continue to pursue information on attaining non-profit status for PNWDTA.
There was some discussion
of Premium Lists for our upcoming competition but no decisions were made.
The next meeting will
be held at the Fairgrounds in Yakima, Washington on Sunday, April 30.
A meeting time will be decided on later.
