August 13, 2007 Minutes

A regular meeting of the Columbia Riding Club Board of Directors was called to order by President Mark Anderson at 7:20 p.m. on Monday, August 13, 2007 at the club. Six board members present included Pat Hill, Dick Getz, Diane Reese, Amanda Reed, and Mark and Heather Anderson

The minutes of the July meeting were read and approved. A treasurer's report was given by Pat Hill who reported an approximate balance of $13,000. She also reported approximate profits of $1,107 for the jumping show, $394 for the Wednesday night show and $1343 for yesterday's Sunday show. It was motioned and seconded to accept the treasurer's report.

Grounds

The tractor needed repairs earlier this month and will cost around $600. Also, we need to repair wet spots in the rings, three in the lower ring and one large one in the upper ring. We took a look at the lower ring and Amanda will get prices on repair to all four areas. Heather reported that Deb Jefferies is checking on an additive to the footing in the upper ring to ease the dust problem.

Dick said the plumber turned off the water valve in the clubhouse due to a leak in the hot water heater. There was no water in the kitchen at last Wednesday's show.

Membership

Diane reported there are 65 members this year with two being added on Sunday making a total of 67.

Ways and Means

Mark reported that Steve suggested we have trees planted and donated, perhaps in memory of former members. Diane will look into inviting David Day to a meeting to give us a price on planting trees.

Horse Show Committee

No report

Old Business

Three board members are going off this year. We will look for new board members with the elections approaching in November.

The meeting was adjourned at 8:40 p.m.

Respectfully submitted

Diane L. Reese

Secretary
