Motion was made to accept the August meeting minutes.

Due to the September 11 events, no formal meeting was held. A motion was made to make the meeting count for the whole club. The motion was approved and passed. 

It is Denise's son's birthday is today. There was no treasure's report given.

Bills:
$55.00 Tina McGurran had a bill for the gift basket for Don and Gladys Gilbertson. Melissa Berschens submitted a bill for copies and signs for the last paint show.  

Open Show Report: Debi Kent
The Sept 9th show was very successful. There were lots of reiners there that supported our club. Congratulations on a great year for the Open program. Thank you everyone for your help. 

We have some exciting news from the junior club. The new president of the youth club is Ashley Gurrerio. Christina McGurran is vice president, Kaylee Tersini is the Secretary, Hanna Fenn is the points keeper and Danelle Escover is the treasurer. At the October meeting they had elections and watched a APHA video. 

Old Business:
Nancy Fenn wanted to personally thank the club for all their help. The show went off wonderful, the weather was good, the judges were good, the day was fun. We didn't have a good turn out. We had 90 pre entries, about 28 of those people didn't show. Next year we need to promote it more. If the club wants to do it and it depends on what dates are available and if the club wants to continue.

We didn't have a facility for stalls. If we wanted to make it bigger we need to think about a different facility or some kind of stall options. 

New Business:

CCC Program Rules:

Nancy Fenn gave an update on the 7CPHC youth club. 
The points for youth and adults are looking at being handled differently. They are proposing that the youth team's points are counted separately. We need to decide if it is ok for this club to have the youth club points held separately. For years we have used 10 judges, prior to that we picked these four shows. Some clubs only use their own shows for awards programs. She suggested that we change the rules for the way the youth points are managed. Based on this, Ed Flores made a motion to:

• Change the rules regarding the youth in our club. The motion is two part, the Junior club will be allowed to keep track of their own points for the open show program and the CCC program. With a strong recommendation that they keep the point system tabulated to 10 judges. The second part is their attendance counts towards normal regular attendance.
  
• We should add to the rules that the points can be emailed in to the points keeper for the CCC program
  
• Diane Lang brought up the issue of members who aren't able to work their hours if those people can pay a fee for their work to be done. The club could use the money to hire someone to work with the money. This club is very active in our shows and working and exhibiting is difficult. Ed Flores motioned a fee of $250. It would be part of your membership or 30 days before the 7CPHC horse show. It must be paid by check in the treasure's hands at least 30 days prior to the show so enough time is left to hire someone to do the work. It was suggested to add this as a line item on the membership sheet. This is just for the CCC program.   

This motion was approved as submitted. CCC rules will be changed with these items for 2002. For those of you that would like to still work their hours as normal, nothing has changed there if you want to work. We may take the money and pay the club members if money is left over or no other help is needed. It is the same way we pay for the judges and everything. If you would like to be apart of this show, join the horse show committee and contact Dana Klamecki. Every single decision can't possibly be put in front of the club, that is what the horse show committee is for. 

2002 Open Show Program Rules:

Libby Flores made a motion to change the following for the 2002 Open Show program rules:

• Change the rules regarding the youth in our club. The motion is two part, the Junior club will be allowed to keep track of their own points for the open show program and the CCC program. The second part is their attendance counts towards normal regular attendance.
  
• We should add to the rules that the points can be emailed in to the points keeper for the CCC program
  
• Instead of 3 hours per show, the motion was to change the requirement for work hours would be changed to 4 hours total not per show.
  

This motion was seconded and approved by the club. This will take effect for 2002 rules.

Elections: for officers for 2002. 
The nominations made at this meeting were as follows: 

President - Steve Guerriero

Vice President - Dana Klamecki

Secretary - Melissa Berschens

Correspondence Secretary - Tina McGurran

Treasurer - Denise Escover 

The officers were voted on and approved as shown above. Congratulations to the new officers, your term begins in the Nov 2001 meeting. 

CCC Reps -  Nominations for this position were Libby Flores and Linda Tacklind and Diane Lang. Dana suggested that we vote for one CCC rep and the other two become alternate. Debi Kent is still serving one year left of her two year term and would like to continue this role. Who ever who does not get the CCC rep, the left over people will automatically be alternates.
This job is a 2 year term. 

Dana Klamecki stated the horse show committee was held at the Oct 6 Rancho show. They discussed coming up with a common contract between the two clubs for judges. Libby brought up good points on how that might be difficult. What they decided Wednesday would be English, Thursday would end with our cattle  Friday morning, they would run their cattle classes and they would do showmanship and halter and a bbq on Friday. Nothing is written in stone here. These are just suggestions. These changes should help have less late nights. Get Dana to send me notes on this section. Too confusing. 

Judges committee- people volunteered to help. Libby Flores, Janis McDonald, Susan Warkintin and Nancy Fenn are helping Dana with this. Each club is having their own 4 judges. They asked that we have all four judges contacted and contracted if possible. Some kind of recommendations for judges with agreements from judges.

The next show committee meeting will be at Bakersfield Saturday evening. Contact Dana Klamecki.

Libby is our new CCC rep for 2002. Congratulations Libby. 

Does the club want to have a Christmas party? We need to decide if we want to have a christmas party now. 

January Awards Banquet: Does anyone want to make the arrangements, Sharyn Fincher volunteered. Dana Klamecki will help and Melissa Berschens will do flyers and mailings once the information is finalized.

A motion was made to send a gift to Sharon Curtis from Patchwork ranch for $150. She has cancer and is going in for surgery this week. Motion was approved. 

Ed Flores wanted to thank Dana Klamecki for her work as president. She maintained a clear focus and did a heck of a nice job. Thanks Dana!

Diane Lang asked for those people who worked 15 hours or more at our show if we would like to give them stalls at cost. A stall per 15 hour period. We would be making money because we wouldn't have to pay people to work hours. 

Meeting was adjourned at 8:45pm
