MHDA Meeting Minutes:
The meeting was called to order at 9:30 A.M. by First Vice President, Bea Peterson in place of Lynda, who is waiting for a baby to arrive.

First VP - Programs
Bea reported that members need to sign up for Darla Willhite as she needs to get the packets and paints ready. The seminar is $30 which includes paints and paper. It was reminded that when you sign up you are obligated to pay. There was a discussion on paper and frame size. Bea gave a listing of future programs and asked members to think of teaching. There was a vote to have Pat Lentine booked for March 2010, and to have Sandy Aubuchon in February 2010. Both votes passed.

Second VP - Membership
Jan reported the membership books were mailed to those present who did not have email.

Secretary - Pat reported there were no meeting minutes in February due to the seminar.

Treasurer - Jan gave the report and submitted it to the newsletter for publication. It was noted that we made money on the Sandy Aubuchon seminar which is not usually the case.

Hospitality - volunteers are needed to bring items for the April meeting.

Ways & Means - There was discussion on a book sale. The particulars are still being worked out. Raffle took in $57.00.

Sunshine - Five cards were sent out. Let Carole know if anyone is sick.

Publicity - All info went to papers.

Philanthropic - A three dollar donation is requested from each member to fill baskets for Foster Children. We are hoping to fill 10 baskets. It was suggested to go ahead and bring it in and you won’t have to think about it later.

Christmas - Start bringing items for the Christmas basket raffles. Only those who donate can buy raffle tickets. It was suggested to go ahead and bring it in a plastic grocery sack with your name attached and the approximate price of the item. Each person should bring in items.

Old Business - It was brought up that all board members should be notified of board meetings and they should be held when officers can attend.

New Business - No new business. FYI David Jansen has free videos and lots of information on his site. Carol Tamms brought in information on a children’s protection organization.

Adjournment - the meeting was adjourned at 10:10 a.m.
