6. OLD BUSINESS:
a.
Stage backdrop/State signs: Terry is unable to supervise the raising of
the backdrop this year and wants to relinquish the State signs for the
Grand March. Since John Gallagher has helped Terry in the past he should
be contacted to see if he would be willing to supervise the set up and
take down of the backdrop. Registrations must also be checked to make
sure that all States/countries are represented and new signs printed.
David Jenkins volunteered to make the necessary signs. Duane should be
contacted about the key for access to the stage for Ballroom No. 2.
b.
Ballroom
contract: Our contract with the City allows us to take possession of
the ballrooms at 4:30 on Thursday, but it is hoped that they may be
available to decorate at 4:00 when the previous occupants leave.
Decorating materials should be available shortly after 4:15 p.m.

concentrating on Country Music radio stations and websites. Dave
