BEIW was published this spring at a cost of $1,345.02 for 250 copies.  The goal is the publication is to preserve Fluerice Tanner’s voice.  Mary Ann did research for end notes and bibliography.

Mary Ann is currently accepting articles for the 2005 Journal.  Members are encouraged to share the Journal with professional contacts.  The Board will consider choosing select colleges to receive complimentary copies of the Journal.  A subscription form will be placed on the web site.

Web Site – Tom Pasley.  Creativemotion.org website has been updated.  Cost for hosting the website is $95.52 per year.  Tom requested member response on 1) ideas for sites that are attractive; 2) problems with function; 3) content for web site to be approved by President; 4) assigned pages for committee chairs with updated biographical information for Level 2 & 3 instructors; and 5) social page information.  The members would like to see on-line registration for Windswept Music Workshop.  Paying with credit cards could help cash flow.  Appreciation expressed to Tom and Phyllis Pasley for their continue work with the web site.

Financial Task Force – Phyllis Pasley.  Report attached.  This task force was charged with looking at financial issues of CMA, and dreaming for the future.  Ultimately, the Task Force would like to see the establishment of an endowment fund.  The Task Force encourages increased communication efforts through use of conference calls, e-mails, and phone calls.

Fund Raising and Marketing – Phyllis Pasley.  Target marketing for Windswept Music Workshop will be discussed at Fall Board Meeting.  This will allow forward planning to help meet deadlines for magazine advertisements.  Phyllis reminded the members that Margaret Allen invited people to the mountain.  We need to personally invite colleagues and students to come with us to Workshop.

Auction – Susan McGuire.  The 2004 auction raised $685.10. 

Donations – Mary-Hannah Klontz reported that $450 was received from individuals for scholarship funds.  $500 was received from Kay Taylor.  Mary Ann Fritz suggested that a Windswept fund be set up for Kay Allen (daughter of Margaret Allen).  Other than the auction, dues are the only other area where funds are generated.  Mary-Hannah is initiating the PYGMY program (Pledge Your Good Money Ya’ll).  Mary-Hannah expressed appreciation to John Morrison for his financial support of CMA.  John wanted the group to have the freedom to dream again and his gifts are allowing that to happen.

Mini-Workshops.  Doug Jones would like to establish geographical hubs and invite people to attend mini-workshops.  The mini-workshop doesn’t have to be 1-1/2 days – could be an afternoon.  Doug reminded the members that Level 1’s are able to have gatherings to further the purposes of Creative Motion.  Could use “What We Do at Windswept” video.  This would be a great resource for break-out sections at other conferences.
