DENTON COUNTY MASTER GARDENER ASSOCIATION
BOARD MEETING
MAY 3, 2005
President Carolyn Tinner
called the DCMGA Board of Directors meeting to order at 9:05 AM. Those in
attendance were Annie Brackin, John Cooper, Peggy Durrett, Pam McClimon,
Carolyn Tinner, Linda Williams, and Mary Morrow. The minutes were
submitted via email by Mary Morrow, Secretary, and approved with
corrections to the role of the Treasurer.
Linda Williams, Treasurer, presented the Treasurer's report. The
ending balance is $65,742.47, which includes $55,480.47 for the 2005
Conference. Due to the 2005 Conference beginning in two days, no agenda
was published and we proceeded to any new business.
Mary requested the scholarship guidelines be reviewed and consideration be
given to any student residing in Denton County regardless of the college
or university they attend. Carolyn also advised we need to select a new
chairperson for the scholarship committee. A meeting was set for June 9
in the extension office at 9:30 AM and will be posted in the Roto-Teller
for those who would be interested in attending.
Pam McClimon, Roto-Teller Editor, advised the May edition featured
"For the Love of Gardening." Discussion of the progress of pictures on
the website followed. It was decided permission would be obtained on an
as-needed basis, and children's pictures would not be used.
Karen Archambault, Second Vice-president, gave an update on the
Fall Plant Sale. It was decided potting soil would be provided. She
advised we had received a water wand from Gardener's Supply in response to
the Conference. It will used as a door prize at a future meeting. She
also advised the crocheted items that Tina Litherland had donated would be
sold at the DCMGA vendor booth. She had looked into framing, but due to
expense decided against it.
Peggy Durrett, 2005 Conference Chairman, gave the last report on
the Conference. Registration included 484 attendees (including "Saturday
only" ), 69 guests, 389 attending welcome reception, 487 attending Friday
banquet, and 565 attending Saturday lunch. It was decided registration
would take walk-ins on Saturday until 9:00 AM. Color Me Mine canceled.
Scott Kunst was returning from the Netherlands prior to the Conference and
sent ahead his material for the banquet and Saturday session. We will
print the material and place on chairs at the banquet.
The meeting was adjourned at 10:30 AM.
