Eigenhauser: I move we approve the minutes, as amended. Williams called the motion. Motion carried. (2) TREASURER/BUDGET REPORT. Treasurer Kathy Calhoun gave the following report using a standing motion with the right to vote no: This report is based on the financial reports for the period beginning May 1, 2002 through November 30, 2003 . Contents of this report: Key Financial Indicator Analysis 2003-2004 Budget Requests Schedule Action Item Key Financial Indicators This report utilizes the year-to-date 2002-2003 Annual Budget approved at the June 2002 Board Meeting as a point of reference unless otherwise noted. Cash Reserves Key cash reserves are held at Allaire Community Bank, Fleet Bank and Bank One. Funds are also being held in a certificate of deposit. Overall reserves have increased over last year. Ordinary Income-Registrations and related services Relative to the 2002-2003 Annual Budget r evenue generated from litter registration, revenue generated from individual registration blue slips, yellow slips and prepaid registration are slightly ahead of budget. The tiered registration process has generated approximately $3000 in incremental income. This initiative, sponsored by Tom Dent, has been very effective in that it encourages timely registration which promotes increased registration and in addition, the late fee component of the tiered pricing generates income. Other service related categories that are below budget include championship confirmations, certified pedigrees and website sponsorship. International Show Revenue artificially inflates the ordinary income schedule relative to the budget in that gross revenue appears on the November balance sheet compared to a budget which was based on net revenue. In total, Ordinary Income is $168,000 favorable to budget on the balance sheet but factoring out the International Show, Ordinary Income is approximately $14,000 below budget. Media Income Total income derived from media which includes Yearbook, Almanac, and video sales is down approximately $22,900. Standard production costs for these publications have been trimmed in 3 prior years so there are very few additional opportunities for further savings without a change in strategy. Production costs related strictly to volume may see slight reductions. Unfortunately, income derived from advertising and circulation continues to decline. Yearbook advertising is $19,000

  • The Devon Rex
    The Breed of the Month is… The Devon Rex Overview The Devon Rex has been referred to as “the pixies of the cat fancy”, “elfin magic”, or as to resembling the “gremlins from the film Star Wars.” Along with their impish features, the Devon Rex sports a short soft velvety wavy coat. They are a cat of impish looks and a mischievous personality to match. The Devon Rex is an intelligent and highly active cat. History The Devon Rex originates from Buckfastleigh, Devon, England. It is here a feral tom cat with a brownish-black curly coat had been observed living in an abandoned tin mine. In 1960, Miss Beryl Cox, who lived near the old mine, gave shelter behind her house to a stray tortoiseshell & white female. The female gave birth to a litter of kittens in her back garden. One of these kittens had the same brownish-black curly coat as the feral tom. It is believed that the mother may have been one of his offspring and that he sired her litter as well. Miss Cox kept the curly coated kitten and named him Kirlee. Ten years prior, another curly kitten had been discovered in Cornwall, England. This kitten was named Kallibunker and was being used by interested breeders to establish the Rex cat as a breed. Brian Sterling-Webb was one of the breeders trying to preserve this curly coat gene. Miss Cox contacted Brian Sterling-Webb thinking her Kirlee could be able to contribute to that program. Kirlee was sold to Mr.Sterling-Webb and was integrated into the breeding program.
