Sally Rucker mentioned that she had heard a concern from some members regarding the printed material that is added in the packets with the certificates. Jan will look into the costs involved and report back to the board next call.

Registrar's Report: Jan answered questions about the financial reports. The person renting the space where the video store has been will be signing a 2-year lease.

The survey complied by the group hired to facilitate the conference will be ready to go to the members later this week. The surveys will be e-mailed to all members with e-mail addresses, mailed to the other members and there will also be a survey posted on the ILR website for non-members.

Conference planning is going well. Dar joined the call to give an update of the conference registration and preparation.

Mark Smith presented the FFA update for this year's conference to be held in Indianapolis, Indiana, October 25-28, 2006. He asked Jan to provide a directory on a disc sorted by state so the attendees at the conference could be given a printout of breeders in their area. Jan will get this info to Mark this week. Mark reported that there was a lot more participation from state and local groups and RMLA paid to provide the standards of care brochures for the packets given to the FFA attendees.

The policy book review is being proofed. The November call will have a focus of completing the draft of the revised policies for further review. Sally Taylor will send the current draft to the office reflecting the revisions that have been agreed upon.

There was a brief joint call on October 4 with ALSA. Unfortunately there was a glitch in the conference call server so the call could not be completed. We hope the call can be rescheduled soon.

Meeting adjourned at 2:10 PM, EDT.

Respectfully submitted,
Sally Taylor
Secretary
