  • Brush cutter for parking area

We have a limb down on the roof of RFL. We will need two people to help get it down.

Also, there are problems associated with restrooms/plumbing. Frank will contact a plumber in TR and get in touch with Wayne to get that taken care of.

David also suggested better signage around RFL for new dancers.        

On the next agenda:

David, Wayne, and Frank will look into parking areas and whether or not we want to cut the brush down from the middle area of the parking field.

Band/caller booking:  David, Jennie

Band/caller lodging coordinator:

  • Still looking for a coordinator

 Sound committee:  John, Frank

  • Weogo’s equipment cage
