Delegate Meeting Report, Kay Rogers (Tualatin Valley Council)	3 Minutes

Motion (Dave Cooper): Mr. President, I move that the Federation hold $25,000 in a reserve fund, to be used in the event that the Federation bids in the next 12 years to host another National Square Dance Convention. If no bid committee is formed by July 1, 2017, the money shall revert to the general fund.

Discussion: We did exactly this in the fall of 1994 after the 43rd NSDC, and that money allowed us to fund a bid committee by focusing on the package without resorting to extensive begging and fund raising. It seems only prudent that we make the same kind of contingency this time. I believe the 54th NSDC has repaid that $25,000, so we can funnel that same money without using up additional dollars.
Motion (Jim Rogers): Mr. President, I move that the Oregon Federation hold the annual summer festival at the Seaside Convention Center on the third week end in July each year.

Discussion: The Convention Center has offered us the facility for that weekend every year. It is getting harder all the time to get councils to step up and offer to do a festival. Seaside Convention Center is reasonably priced and they do most of the jobs ordinarily done by services and/or facilities committees. We could make exceptions for the years other councils want to put on a festival with a couple of years notice.
