Dolly James reported on the auditions for the November Players production for players and grandchildren. She announced that Marge Sage has already started on the costumes and that she is doing a wonderful job.

There will be another improv class at Tony Neighbor’s home on August 21 @ 1pm. Charlie Holliday plans on teaching how to prepare for auditions. Dave Rich announced the show, “An Evening at the LBC Studios” on August 20 & 21, at the Orchard Creek Ballroom, doors open at 6:30pm.

New Business:
Audrey Thrall has been asked by a number of Sun City group if the players can provide entertainment for their meetings, nothing more than a 25 minute skit. At first it sounded like a good idea, but after presenting the idea to the Exec Board there were questions about the ramifications of doing something like this. We would need a coordinator and it would need to be free. We would need to get additional rehearsals, and make sure the original cast is available. Tony Neighbors said that she would coordinate it.

Dolly James asked about the ballroom screens, when would they be installed? With shows coming up they would be an asset because the audience in the back can see what is happening onstage. Frances Swanson said that it was as yet undetermined if it was a capital asset at $20,000 approx cost, therefore it needs to be determined if they would be paid for by the association instead of PASC. There was discussion about getting the screens up as soon as possible without going through all the Associations Committees. Frances stated that this is a good idea, everyone likes it, and believe it will bring in additional funds for the association through ballroom rentals, but we need to follow the order of approval…..

New microphones and microphone head gear have been purchased for future shows.

Barbara Greenfield, Director & Producer for the Tap Company Talent show announced auditions for the show will be held Oct 22nd Flyers are available for more information.

The slate of candidates for 2009 Executive Board are as follows: Angela Blas, Pres. Ron Morris and Tony Neighbors, VP; Dave Rich, Treasurer, Kathryn Gough, Secretary. The election will take place at the September meeting, all members in good standing are eligible to vote.

Meeting Adjourned 4:54pm.

Respectfully submitted,
Sharon Severance
