Crossroads Restaurant
Meeting Called to Order at 6:03 p.m.
Attendance: Sign in sheet passed around. There were 11 people in attendance.
Minutes: September 2019 meeting minutes were not read because there were none. All minutes are posted on-line. Motion to accept the minutes as found on-line by Lisa Pellegrini, seconded by Nancy Zimmerman. Motion carried.
Treasurer’s Report: Lisa Pellegrini distributed copies of the MCHC Profit & Loss Sheets (1/1-11/26/2019). We are up income compared to 2018. Lisa will provide a yearly audit upon request for anyone that wants to check her work. Motion to accept the treasurer’s report made by Nancy Zimmerman, seconded by Tess Jezek. Motion carried.
Other Correspondence. Andi received a thank-you note from UPAWS.
Old Business:
Sally’s Ride Update (September 21-22) went smoothly and everyone that participated seemed to have a lot of fun. Cheri Johnson was unable to attend the meeting to present the final numbers. Andi did know that even though we had 2 less riders than 2018, we did make more money. The schedule will be the same for 2020. Seems to be the right mix of activity and down time. Both the short ride and long ride went very well and had great reviews.
UPAWS Barn Update. The pole barn shell went up in the fall of 2018 but the inside was unfinished. Cheri Johnson and Andi Goriesky encouraged UPAWS to get it done before the winter of 2019. Over a dozen volunteers showed up for a work-bee on October 5 and built three inside stalls and one paddock. Seven days after the final work was done, the first “guest” arrived. They are hoping to hold a fundraiser/seminar in the spring.
New Business:
Elections for 2020 officer positions: Nancy Zimmerman, seconded by Joan Mulder, made a motion that the board would remain the same for 2020: Andi Goriesky, Cindy Johnson, and Tess Jezek will act as co-presidents, Maddi Zimmerman as vice-president, Lisa Pellegrini as treasurer, and Cathy Waller as secretary. Motion carried.
Members Winter Get-Together will be on Friday, January 31, 2020, beginning at 6PM at the Up North Lodge’s Pit Room, 215 S CR 557, Gwinn. The club will provide appetizers and a sleigh ride for 2020 paid MCHC members (dues due at January meeting). Attendees pay for their dinner and drinks. Sleigh rides for nonmembers are $15 per person. Maddi Zimmerman will confirm with Jesie Melchiori.
Tack Sale (scheduled for March 28 at the Negaunee Township Hall). Maddi already reserved the hall but they now require insurance so Cindy will arrange for a rider for that weekend on our insurance with VAST. Janece will check on pasty donations and see if NMU Vet Club is interested in doing a bake sale again next year.
MCHC 2020 Horse Show (June 12, 13, and 14) is the same schedule as this past year. Lisa Pellegrini will inform UPHA of our dates at their next meeting. Cathy Waller is checking into judges.
Sally’s Ride 2020: The Great Lakes Equine Association’s Championship Show will be held on the weekend of September 18-20, 2020 and several regulars participate in this show. So we will shift the ride to the following weekend of September 25 to 26. Andi will notify Cheri Johnson.
Donation to a Worthy Cause. Andi suggested donating 2 boxes of food for the UP North Lodge’s “Reverse Advent Calendar” campaign and Janece suggested that we do a $100 gift card from Wal-Mart or Meier’s for the NMU’s food pantry. Maddi Zimmerman made a motion, seconded by Lisa Pellegrini. Motion carried. Lisa will give money to Janece for NMU and Cindy Johnson for the UP North Lodge fundraiser.
Motion to adjourn made by Nancy Zimmerman, seconded by Joan Mulder. Motion carried. Meeting adjourned at 7:30 p.m.
