SECRETARY’S REPORT
June 1-30, 1999


NEW BUSINESS

BC Rescue:  The Board was asked to provide support for the “THATLDO” network; however, it was felt the funds could not be committed to the project until the BCSA Rescue and Research Foundation is functional.

AKC Delegate:  It was proposed and agreed that the election of an AKC Delegate will be instituted with the next general election which will be in 2000.  In the meantime, Bob Tainsh will continue as the AKC Delegate Designate.  It should be pointed out that, at this time, the BCSA has not heard from AKC regarding its member club application, and we are not allowed a Delegate until we are voted in.

BCSA Web Site Link:  The Board approved Kim Augustine’s request for her local club, the GLBCC, to use the BCSA logo as a hot button link to BCSA’s web page for their new GLBCC web site.

Household Memberships:  The by-laws currently defines a household membership as "available to households consisting of 2 people 18 years or older".  This therefore dictates that family members under the age of 18 hold an individual membership.

Since the original by-law was written to allow only those at least 18 years of age to be able to vote, it was suggested by a BCSA member that the by-laws be changed to allow household membership be available “to households containing 1 or 2 adults 18 years of age or older, as well as minor children”.  This proposal will be considered the next time changes to the by-laws are proposed.  In the interim, it was agreed that  the Board approve a waiver of the Junior membership fees, thereby allowing the adult in the house to pay for a single membership vs. a household membership.
