Wagonmaster Report:

Duncan reported that the next campout is a State Meeting at Bethpage Campground, August 18 - 20th, and in September the State Rally will also be at Bethpage, September 15 - 17th. Reservations for August need to be called into Bethpage by August 1. See State Rally Reservation Form in WIT magazine for September. There was a discussion about having two campouts in October, the one at Bill Plemmons and maybe one around Halloween. Mary Wright is going to check into this. The Dogwoods are the host for the State Meeting at American Heritage, November 10 - 13th and 45 sites have already been reserved for this campout.

Old Business:

Cornelia reported that the cost of the web site for the coming year is $275.00. It had been voted on last month to continue with the web site. A proposed change to the Dogwood's Constitution and Bylaws to read: "The secretary position is exempted from the two consecutive term requirement." John McMillan made a motion to accept this change, seconded by Linda Bakos, motion carried.

Dan Young reminded everyone that being as the Dogwoods are host for the November State meeting, we are responsible for a state charity project. There was a discussion as to whether we wanted to do canned goods or donate money to a charitable organization. Frank Dance made a motion to donate money to a charity, seconded by Gail Young, motion carried. Mary Wright made a motion that we donate money to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation of Virginia, seconded by George Bakos, motion carried.

New Business: State President, Virginia McDaniel has asked each President to discuss with their chapter changing the dates of the August 2007 state meeting. Originally the dates had been set for August 17 - 19th at Holiday Travel Park in Virginia Beach at $35.00 a night, a savings of $6.00 a night can be had if the campout is changed to August 24 - 26th. The Dogwoods have no problem with changing the dates.

Dan Young reported that the nominating committee had selected the following 2006-2007 slate of officers: President, Mike Schuler; Vice-President, Duncan Mills; Secretary, Leigh Anne Schuler; and Treasurer, Cornelia Mills. This will be voted on at the August meeting.

Harold asked for volunteers to serve on the Audit Committee. Frank Dance and Dan Young volunteered to serve on this committee.

State Advisory Suggestions: None

Cost for this campout is $4.50 per person.

There being no further business, Leroy Wright made a motion to adjourn the meeting, seconded by Gary Harman, motion carried.

Respectfully submitted, Mary Anne Moyer

Acting Secretary
