News From Embodydance Santa Fe
Dear Embodydancers,
Our Annual meeting from January was pushed into this month with the intention of having more people to consense our new Board of Directors into office.
There are still seats available if you would like to step in to serve your community in this way. The responsibility of being a Board member entails your attendance to bi-annual meetings. Although the time required is minimal, your vital role cannot be underestimated.
Please do not confuse the Board with our current election of the Executive Committee!
Also, be aware that the deadline for casting your ballot for the EC is set for March 1!
You will find the minutes from our last meeting enclosed below.
Do come join us this weekend for our annual/ community meeting to be held....

Financial report. The total operating expense for 2009 was about $60,000. Income exceeded expenses by about $1500 for 2009. There was an anonymous donation of $3000 in 2009. There is $15400 in the bank, $3000 of which is in a savings account that earns interest. There was consensus on adding $4000 to savings.
Executive Committee and Board of Directors. In the opinion of Ruth, this meeting could not serve as the non-profit annual meeting, because she was the only board member present. Ishwari felt we did not have the information needed to let this meeting serve as the non-profit annual meeting. Guthrie expressed willingness to serve as the board member on the EC.
After much discussion it was decided to go ahead with the election for the Executive Committee as soon as John is able, even though none of the candidates are board members, and it is necessary that one EC member be a board member. It was decided that we would vote for 5 rather than 6 candidates, and after the annual board meeting it would be decided how to fill the board member position.
After the meeting, Tracy provided this information.
The present makeup of the board is as follows (board members serve two year terms):
Ruth Solomon—Vice Pres and registered agent
Laurie Letter—Treasurer
Sea Criss—President
Franchesca Shrady—Secretary
The annual meeting will be combined with next month’s community meeting on Sunday February 21, at Guthrie’s house.
Tracy will contact all board to members to encourage their attendance on Feb. 21. Also, to ask if they want to continue to serve on the board.
10th anniversary party. Tracy had several ideas for the ED birthday party, which will also be a 10th anniversary party. There was enthusiasm for Tracy to continue with this and contact people to serve on committees. More definite ideas and a proposed budget will be presented by Tracy at the next community meeting.
Elise’s Buddha that was broken. There was consensus to pay Elise $100 for the Buddha.
Production of video. Tracy discussed the possible production of an ED video, that could be put on the web site. It was agreed that a proposal would be considered at the next community meeting, when more information would be available.
End of meeting.
