         Officers not in attendance: Ron

    Lynn called the meeting to order.

    Regina was appointed the video librarian.

    Janice gave a report on the missing video tapes. The UI police officer
    will follow up on trying to get the missing tapes returned.

    Amy needs to know how many people will the attending the July 4th party in
    order to make food purchases.

    Janice is making arrangements for the Water Slide Party. There are two
    possible dates: Sunday, July 21 or August 11. Most students will ge gone
    if the August 11th date is chosen. She will check with the students in her
    class about the date.

    Mike is looking for suggestions for workshops. He's thinking about one on
    the Viennese Waltz. Another suggestion was to get Henry for Night Club 2
    Step.

    Tanja requested $300 to replace videos that have been missing for over 2
    years. This may include Latin tapes, Beginning waltz, fox trot and new
    tapes in American Standard dances (rumba and fox trot) not taught by
    Dancing Illini.

    Tanja suggested that the club get a Visa check/cash card that would be used
    for reservations which would make arranging for group travel easier. Leigh
    is concerned about the liability for having a cash/check card. Rich will
    look into options for a cash/check vs. credit card.

    Rich is making a tentative budget. Jeremy will send him copies of past
    budgets. Jeremy pointed out that the budgets should be archived on the web.

    Leigh would like the club to look into getting new t-shirts. Tanja pointed
    out that we must follow RSO guidelines in purchasing new t-shirts. Jesse
    offered to help create a new design that everyone could feel comfortable in
    wearing.

    Amy proposed to have Cosmic Bowling on a non-salsa night. The second
    Friday would be July 12th.

    Jesse and Jen are putting together calendar of all the summer events. Lynn
    has a mock up calendar that she will email to Jesse.

    Jeff is happy about the class attendance this summer. He would like to
    have practices at the Regent Ballroom. Amy is going to have a Practice
    Dance at the Regent on Monday, July 22nd and the Dinner Dance is scheduled
    for Friday, August 2nd.

    We voted unanimously to allocate $300 for video tapes, $400 for Nations in
    Minneapolis and $200 for new music. (Tanja noted that the Dancing Illini
    received money from SORF for Nationals.)

    Rich asked to pay the instructors with a check, but it's still important to
    have them sign a letter of agreement.

    Everyone is pleased with the number of students attending DI summer
    classes. Kudos to the Publicity chairs-Jesse and Jen.

    The next general meeting will be held on Tuesday, July 25th at 8:15 pm in
    the Opera Room in the Krannert Center.

    The meeting ended at 8:50 pm.

    Respectfully Submitted:
