OLD BUSINESS
Shows
A February 13 meeting with a prospective show office manager has been set up in Mansfield to discuss a
possible contract for the 2016 show series.
Findlay Show
Tail Source has offered to pay for hotdogs for exhibitors at the Findlay show. Peter Thornton moved
that, if needed, Ohio Pinto provide chips, buns, condiments and paper products for the get-together.
Appropriate timing for serving was discussed. We would prefer to avoid conflict with the food stand
during meal times. The matter was tabled until Megan Herner discusses details and timing with
Raelyne Hrbac.
Schneiders Tack is providing high point awards for the Findlay show.
Paint/Pinto combined show
Ohio Paint is still working on their part of the program. PtHAO understands that Paint plans to expand
their part of the program, including the addition of solid Paint bred classes. The Paint club hopes to
approve the final show bill at their March 13 meeting.
Pattern Books
A committee composed of Celeste England-Ziarko, Betty Jo Hickman, and Megan Herner will work on
the pattern book via email.
Charitable Donation
Peter Thornton and Betty Jo Hickman moved that PtHAO donate $100 to Last Chance Corral. The
motion carried.
Advertising
Shelly Nalle-Isenhouer shared the information that an offer has been made to donate designing services
for an advertisement in the Corral. The group identified information that should be included in the
advertisement. Peter Thornton and Betty Jo Hickman moved to authorize Shelly to proceed with the
development of a one-time, half-page advertisement in the Corral. The amount allocated for the
advertisement and color copies for use in promotions was $250. The motion carried.
Promotions
Shelly shared information about the cost of the T-shirts we are planning to make available at the Findlay
show. The cost to the club will be $5.95 per shirt, provided we order at least 100. Each exhibitor at the
show will be given a shirt. Those shirts not needed for the give-away program will be made available to
those who want them at a cost of $10.00. It was generally agreed that income from the sale of shirts
will be assigned to marketing and promotions rather than earmarked for other purposes. It is possible
that income from the promotions/advertising programs will balance their expenses.
It was generally agreed that the club would pay for shipping of materials donated to PtHAO for
promotions. An invoice for $16.55 for Mrs. Pastures Cookies was presented. Betty Jo Hickman and
Tammy Braden moved that it be paid. The motion carried.
UPCOMING MEETING: The budget meeting and next set of regular meetings will be held on March 13
at Panera Bread in Medina. The Officers and Directors meeting will begin at 9:00AM.
ADJOURNMENT: The meeting was adjourned at 3:25PM.
