Mark Smith, motion: Approve minutes of July 16 meeting. Second: Kathi McKinney. 3 Ayes.

The next teleconference meeting will be September 11, 2007 at 8:00 PM EDT.

Office and Financials:
There was discussion of the show module. The show module will be tested in Salem, OR at the Oregon State Fair during the Labor Day weekend. The fee schedule and actual maintenance will need to be adjusted during the trial period covering the next year or so. Any llama show will be able to use the show module upon request by the show superintendent.

Jan led the discussion of the financials. The office is running smoothly and efficiently. Allen Schott is working on upgrading the DNA files to streamline the DNA process.

There has been positive feedback on the DNA rootball testing since the ILRe-port announcement last week.

Lamaribbean Cruise 2009:
Diane McGillis joined the call to discuss the options for the 2009 Lamaribbean Cruise. The announcement of a cruise will be made soon so people can start to plan to attend. Full promotion will begin at the first of the year. Jan and Dar will work on a draft program for the conference.

Member Services:
The board discussed ways to recognize members for using their llamas for public relations, parades, pack trials etc. and to create excitement for uses of llamas through some type of incentive program. Several ideas were discussed. These different categories might possibly be added to the show module and give owners a way to track all of the various uses of llamas.

Meeting adjourned at 11:50, PM, EDT.

Respectfully submitted,
Sally Taylor
Secretary
