Minutes for the Feb 15, 2021 SCGSF Special Board Teleconference Meeting 7:00pm-8:00pm
- The meeting was conducted via ZOOM and called to order at 7:09 PM
- Members in attendance were: Maryann, Margaret, Cindy T, Brenda, Lesley and Pam. As show chair, Wendy was also present.
- A motion to record the meeting was not made.
- The purpose of the Special Board Meeting was to discuss options for the 2021 October Specialties. We were recently notified that Harvest Moon was not going forward with their dog show weekend for 2021. The reason given was that the Alameda Co Fairgrounds were currently a Covid vaccination site and the site fees were recently increased. They hope to have a new venue for 2022.
Maryann contacted Jonnee at Sycamore Lane Farms to obtain some information about the facility. She reported that our specialty weekend dates were available, the cost for the lawn/lake area was $175 per day and additional fees for restrooms and trash pickup. There is dry RV camping at the site
There was a very lively discussion about the pros and cons of having a specialty weekend at all and some possible ideas on venues.
A motion was made by Lesley and seconded by Cindy T that the club move forward to plan for 2021 Independent Specialties. After voting the motion passed unanimously.
It was ultimately agreed that:
– Maryann would follow up with Jonnee at Sycamore Lane for more information about timeline deadlines, deposit details and payment options
-Wendy would visit the facility at her earliest opportunity
-Cindy would contact our Thursday judges to inquire about their flexibility for the weekend
The meeting was adjourned 7:45 PM.
