Minutes for Guilding Meeting of June 4th, 2011

By Portia Pexington

KittyCats Breeders Guild Meeting
Saturday June 4th

Attended: Starheart Erdhein, Portia Pexington, Lei Hanford, Reign Firelyte, Anjanette McAndrews, Clark Bowenford

Quick notes:
Starry passed out landmarks for the fair location

The original 7500 prims allowed for the fair has been reduced to 7000 (still more than enough!)

Portia offered to help with event build

Reign Firelyte is putting a KittyCats album together and asks breeders to send her their favourite full-perm photos.

Fair Details:

We discussed the merits of pushing the fair date to July and decided that the sooner we can hold this event the better. Starry mentioned doing something on a larger scale in a few months.

We decided that it would be workable to scale down the fair for June:

 – the kitty showcase will still be the primary attraction of the fair, featuring up to 50 cats with a minimum of four traits each. Breeder applicants will tentatively show one or two of their best cats.

 – breeder booths will be set around the fair with a tentative cap of four cats per applicant. 23 applications will be accepted to highlight the wide appeal and diversity of KittyCats. Each booth will be allowed 200 prims. Portia Pexington has offered to help with design and decorating concepts. Breeders will be permitted to show signs for their individual shops and are encouraged to let their cats wander within a small area.

 – Starry mentioned the possibility of a KittyCats dance with Draco Nacht as DJ. Starry and Portia will share dance huds with attendees. This idea will be discussed further in future meetings.

 – Reign is putting together a KittyCats album to give out at the fair. Guild members are asked to submit some of their favourite full-perm photos as soon as possible.

 – The last feature of the fair will be an education centre with instructional notecards for guests and new breeders. We will host short lectures on breeding basics, at least one a day.
Volunteers: Starry, Portia, and as many other volunteers as we can find.

 Next Meeting:

Tuesday June 7, 5:00 – 6:00 SLT

We will discuss the progress of our various projects as well as details for the breeder application forms, KittyCats dance, and educational seminars.

Guild members looking to offer their time and expertise should attend this short meeting if possible or contact Starheart Erdhein.
