    • Programs for the ice show:  were discussed.  Will we again hire Melanie to design the layout?  Several board members were interested in helping with this.  Should we eliminate the ads from local businesses due to difficulty in selling them and no profit made from this? A suggestion was made to charge a little more to cover the cost of the printing for the souvenir programs.  And to offer a one page simple, easy to read, chronological list of the show numbers to the audience for free.  No vote taken, to be discussed at the next meeting.
