4. Committee Reports:
a.
2003 Hawaii State Festival:
(1) Chairman's Report: Dave
reported that four contracts for callers and cuers were mailed out
August 4th. Al Frazier's has been returned and he has talked with the
others and they plan to return their contracts as soon as possible so
there should be no problem.
(2) Registrar's Report: Henry
reported that there have been no new registrations since last month
and that 46 dancers are now registered for the 2003 Festival.
(3) Planning:
(a) Date Bars: Dave reported that that he is looking for a supplier of
date bars for the festival. Norm
Hangman is no longer in the business, and the only other island
supplier charges $3 each in quantities of 100, which is too
expensive. He will
continue his search here and on the mainland and report back at a
later date.
(b) Sound: A volunteer
is needed to be in charge of the festival's sound.
(c) Decorations: Janet
will organize workers for festival decorations, which will probably
be more modest this time.
(d). Kuhio Village Resort Quote: Dave said that he had received a
quote from the Kuhio Village Resort on Kuhio Ave. offering a special
bulk rate for standard rooms of
$39 (or $49 with kitchenette) vs. $99 listed on the Web.
5. Correspondence:
a.
Dave reported that he has registered as the Federation's
Corporation Registered Agent in order to meet a State requirement.
6. Old Business:
a.
USA West Convention, Boise, ID:
Dave said that he had received an email from the Fullaways
giving high praise to the USA West Convention held August 21-24 in
Boise, ID. They
described it as being one of the best medium sized dances ever, with
good attendance, excellent callers and good workshops. The Hawaii
display table got the prime spot and HVB support was excellent. Tim
Voss was elected Vice President of the Board, which offered its
support and seed money if Hawaii would agree to try hosting.
