Sponsor a class at the Catfish Convention. The Board voted yes, but will check the cost vote 5-0
Give PVAS a free half-page add for the Catfish Convention in the next two Biotopes. Vote 5-0
5 The Biotope: Need to sell ad space so we can afford to publish. Would love to continue the full color but is too expensive at this time.
The new edition is out. A copy was given to each Board member. Pat will issue copies at the meeting and mail others.
Need articles and photographs for future issues.
A new company is being sought to print The Biotope.
6. Web Site:
The cost of dues will be updated on the web site membership application.
Change the front page of the web site to make it more inviting (Schedule, News, What's Happening, etc.). Christy will handle.
7. Breeders Award Program:
Pat and Marya liked the certificates they received in December.
Steve Lofgren keeps the original sheets. Breeders should keep copies for their records.
Can BAP statistics be placed on the web site for others' reference?
Create a part/section on the BAP form for parameters (How'd they do that?) to be saved for reference. This will be looked into further.
The meeting ended at approximatly 1pm. This was followed by Francine blowing out her birthday cake candles and having to listen to the rest of the members sing to her. :bday:
