All who dance at Dance Friday are members and can join and are welcome to these meetings! New dancers - we'd love to have your input and these meetings are a great way to get to know people in the community.

Volunteer-run means WE do the work. When we get involved, we reap rewards that are far greater than our energy output!

Agenda Proposal:

Infrastructure:

• Are we STAYING at BTCC? Our 6 month lease is almost up. Do we negotiate the longer contract?


• LC Elections: two positions open - Guy M. and Aileen G.-P. terms expiring; not continuing. Two candidates nominated: Christine R. and David C. Selection to be done in David's absence, as he can not attend meeting. If you have particular questions for these candidates, please communicate them to current LC members.


• Treasurers Report


• Publicity: reaching out in Brookline and to the local schools


• Logo: any ideas?

Volunteerism:

• Set up/take down crews: We need a better organizational structure. How can we improve? What model can we use?


• Getting our setup streamlined: We need a few people to commit to a few hours of help to fix the cables and lights for easier setup.


• Doorchecks: Do we need two at a time for safety?

General:

• Foyer: making the entry to Dance Friday more inviting. Can we spend money on nice lamps etc??


• Orthodox Jews who can't handle money on Friday but who want to dance: How to help them prepay?


• Shoes on the dance floor: safety issue, creating rules/guidelines.


• Future meeting location: vary location for accessibility.

Deadline September 20th to get your agenda items included. We are required to have agendas posted two weeks before the meeting, which they have been at the Dance. All meetings are open.

If you would like to propose something, you need to attend to present it.
