COMMITTEE REPORTS

FINANCE: Warren English stated we are having a really good year. He reminded every-one that a lot of that had to do with the good weather we have experienced thus far.

Warren also explained that our last certificate of deposit was cashed in and put in the savings account. The rates on the certificates of deposit have been really low and we are not getting any more interest than a regular savings account. Warren would like to start looking at some options for investing the money in some low risk areas. After discussion, it was decided that Warren would gather some information from investment people and pass it on to the Board for a decision about an investment plan in near future.

Warren stated that he and Trish participated in an internal controls evaluation. They came to the office and went through a check list. The Finance committee is working to verify that the office is handling things correctly and that the Board is overseeing to be sure things are being done right. The results of the accountin4g practices will be sent out to the Board. Warren will answer any questions and concerns about the information. Warren also stated that the Finance committee is working to prepare for the change to a new schedule of holding the year end review every third year.

HARVEST CLASSIC: Kim Chiodo stated that she is working on the high point awards. The show committee will be looking for workers for the weekend event. We will need four ring stewards each day. She is also working on the patterns for the event so that they can eventually be posted on Facebook.

JOURNAL: MacKenzie Kastl compiled a summary for the March/April MQHA Journal. It was produced to 44 pages. The issue did produce a profit of $1200 primarily from recharges and advertising sales. The Journal is now available online. The committee will continue to monitor all of the changes.

QUEEN: Kathy Christensen stated that she has queen's crown and the buckle. She has one candidate confirmed. She is working on getting contribution commitments.
