Shirts: Courtney will be taking orders for Zoomdog T-shirts. It was decided
that there will be two options: (1) royal blue, women’s cut athletic
(synthetic) shirt or (2) royal blue, men’s cut cotton shirt. If at least 10-15
shirts (of either design) are purchased, the price will be about
$20/shirt.
ii. Website:
The current website is being paid for but not used. It is proposed that the
current website be discontinued and replaced with Google Apps—which can be used
as the website, document-storing site (like Dropbox),
conversation/chatting/hangout site, Zoomdog email account, Zoomdog blog, and
reciprocal links to Humane Society, 4 Paws, local dog businesses, etc. It will
cost $50 max/year.

Courtney is building a website for the club. It is not
currently open to the public—she’s waiting on the Board members to log in and
give feedback.
c.
Secretary:
i. Change
Membership Bylaws: In order to streamline membership, address members’
concern about the requirements and length of time it takes to become a member,
and to prevent multiple revisions to the Membership section of the Club’s Bylaws,
it is proposed that the bylaws be amended as written in the attached document.
ii. Membership
Dues: Many people have not paid their membership dues. Please do so tonight,
because you have to pay full price for classes until your dues are paid. (Dues
are $40 if you join between July 1 and December 31st and $20 if you
join between January 1st and June 30th.)
