Membership Report:
There were 102 members in August 2008. As of today, September 8th the approximate number of members stood at 72. Dues are due and payable this month.
We have two new members; Diane Calmes has worked 32 years of summer stock and Allen Lowe
from New York is interested in Reader’s Theater. President Paul Krow thanked Ron for doing such a great job at being the Membership Chairman.
Old Business:
Dave Rich, producer of August show said the show was a success selling 560 tickets. In addition to the cast, he mentioned the directors Betty Gordon and Fred Ekman, tech crew: lighting, sound, set builder, stage manager with assistants, and makeup volunteers with a total of 40 people participating. That shows how many of our members were involved.
Paul Krow asked for pictures of the following productions so they could be posted on the Players Group Web site. Rehearsal for Murder, The Richard Rogers Show, and Second Lady.
Ron will send out the web address again.
Tony Neighbors, the coordinator for LH Players performances performed at other club meetings announced a performance of a Readers Theater 5 to 5:30 for the Super Seniors @ Dec 12
Jack Swanson reported on the presentation given to the Association Finance Committee Meeting for the ‘09 budget. Jack had done a lot of research for the two screens mounted from the ceiling on either side of the OC ballroom. The plan is to have two projectors, remotely controlled, mounted in ceiling, two remotely controlled 18x zoom cameras mounted in the back of the room., A person will be able to run the system with the aid of a computer and switcher. This will provide a better quality DVD of the Players productions and be sold as part of the wedding package that catering sells. Perhaps they will be installed in time for the November production. Having these screens will eliminate the sets being torn down because the two side screens may be used in lieu of the rear projection screen.
President Paul Krow thanked Dave Rich and Sandy Klugge for combing through our membership list and organizing it. He named each member of the Steering Committee and thanked them for all the work they have done behind the scenes: Secretary Sharon Severance, Audrey Thrall, Publicity Ginny Sutherland, Sandy Mandolfo for sending out good wishes to people who are sick, and Marilyn Wisher for being on the Reading Committee. He had special thanks to Marge Sage for her great costumes and Dolly James for the shows she writes and directs.
New Business:
Kevin Smith announced the election results. A quorum was present with 47 members. The new Executive Board will consist of Angela Blas as President, Toni Neighbors as Vice President, Kathryn Gough, Secretary and Dave Rich as Treasurer. This board will serve a one-year term as outlined in the Players By-Laws. A note was read from Angela about Steering Committee meeting being held at the end of September or 1st week of October.
Tony Neighbors doesn’t know the date the improv class will take place this month, so an email will be sent out at a later date to the membership.
Mary Jo Evans announced she is costume coordinator and would like costumes returned also, there is a pair of earrings that were left over from a production. She is trying to find the owner.
A motion was made and seconded that the meeting adjourn at 4:48pm.
Respectfully submitted,
Sharon Severance
Secretary
