COMMITTEE REPORTS:
Reports submitted by several committee chairs for this board meeting were comprehensive and there was discussion on where to make them accessible and whether to do this for each committee update report or just with annual reports. It was decided that updated reports should go to Helen for inclusion in BL if she has room. Reports should also go out on Announce, and also onto the web site. The question came up as to whether the committee reports should be attached to the Board Meeting minutes when they are published. Denise will update Helen Phillips on committee changes for Borderlines.
OLD BUSINESS:
a) By-Laws: The revised by-laws were approved with the provision that expulsion will only be allowed at Annual General Membership meetings. We will send bylaws first to AKC for review, then to the General membership for a vote. Denise will inform Dr. Lois Rifner and Dr. Kim Green of these changes.
b) Annual Meeting notification will be mailed by September 12 - First class - and will incorporate Kim & Lois's suggestions for the meeting format in order to keep the meeting to a reasonable length.

f) Health/Rescue Foundation: further discussion pending.
g) Gazette Article: AKC Gazette columnist Carilee Cole (Belgian Sheepdog Club) contacted Sharon and requested help in an article she is researching regarding the working/show dog split. She wants to hear from as many Parent clubs as possible and asked BCSA to participate by choosing ten people that are considered knowledgeable in both fields. The Board feels this is a great opportunity to educate the dog community. Sharon will contact Nancie Mages, Janet Lewis, Sheila Conant, Emily Czapek, Norman and Carolyn Herbel, Richard Whorton, Helen Phillips, Nancy Keller, April Quist, and Susane Hoffman and ask them to contact Carilee. She will also contact Carilee and let her know who has been asked to participate in this article.
