MWA
Delegate Report:
Goldie reported that the MWA has changed the criteria
for callers calling at the MWA New Dancers Dance. It used to be that in order
to call at the MWA New Dancers dance you were required to be teaching a
class for an MWA club. The new rules are that any caller calling or teaching a
class for a MWA club can call at the MWA New Dancers dance.

There were several favorable comments about our
family entrance fee. It was recommended that we keep the family rate.

The email notice for the CCCA monthly meeting is very
appreciated. However not everyone is getting them because of limited access to
their email. Ralph volunteered to send the Email notice out on the Monday prior
to the meeting.

It was suggested that the Meeting status (i.e.
cancelled or changed) be put on the CCCA website. Bruce said he would be happy
to do that if someone lets him know of the change.

Bruce verbally reviewed some changes he has made on
the CCCA Website.
o
On the membership list word “Website” was placed next
to the name of any caller or cuer who has a website. All you need to do is
click on the caller/cuer’s name or the word website. This came from a concern
Roger had talked to Bruce about.
o
The meeting minutes and workshop notes (where
available) have been added to the bottom of the main page of the CCCA Webpage.
Any notices about changes or cancellations will be in the same place.

supplied with the email notification Bruce sends out.
