Minutes of Clann Tartan Board Meeting
June 7, 2004
In attendance: (Board) Bruce Yoder, Glenn McDavid,
Herb Lindorff, Rob Portinga, Brenda Bartel
(Staff) Marty Byers, David Vavreck
The Review of minutes from the May meeting was tabled. The
Secretary apologized for the delay and agreed to send them
out by e-mail when they were complete.
Old Business
============Staff manual: Still need material from Cindy. The new member packet is also being worked on.
=================================Sioux Falls. Only three members had committed to attend, and only two actually showed. Our normal minimum is 6. As a result those who did show (David and Marty) were badly overworked.
=================No Show Proposal:
=================One issue with this is getting help from Staff in calling the membership. Staff has been rather light and often inexperienced in the last couple years. If Staff does not show, it makes it more likely that more of the membership will not. New staff members need guidance about what is expected of them.
==================Cancellation plan:
=================We are hoping for better attendance at Caledonia. Herb and Marty will talk to the Goodwives about having them contact members. We can then see how that works.
==============We need 7 demos for Big Island.
=======Rob submitted the financial statements.
============Guest policy: Tabled

Guilds
Gaffney's Fife and Drum
Fifers will henceforth be meeting at Maeve's house every 2nd & 4th Monday of each month from 7pm to 9pm. Contact David for directions.
Drummers continue to meet at 11am the third Saturday of each month at Eric and Hellen's, followed by Regimental Drill at Noon. The Regiment owns two drums, but drummers are requested to get their own drumsticks.
Interest is high; I am well pleased.
A note for soldiers - according to the articles of war, it is a crime punishable by death not to learn the drum calls. Be forewarned.
We have set up a yahoo group for the Corps at http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/clannfifeanddrum/ so we can communicate without clogging up non corps folks' e-mail.
Again, drummers will work primarily on period military music for the time being, and fifers will be working on that as well as dance music.
All are welcome - no experience neccessary.
Anyone interested in joining up contact Clann's Music Chair at:
