The meeting was called to order by President Diane Zammito at the Boulder City Library. We would like to thank Lynn again for providing us with this location. Attending were Diane, Lynn, Fran, Maryann, Dottie, Barbara, Liz, Teri, Sandy, Mary and Iris.

There was no treasurers' report, and minutes were accepted as read.

The March meeting will be the mermaid- dancing lady challenge to be held at the Los Prados clubhouse. Thank you, Barbara, for providing this location for us. (It has since been decided to postpone this date!)

The DQN show will be March 19- 21. Fran has a list of volunteers who are working to set up, run, and tear down our booth.

Barbara will check Los Prados for our April meeting, for which we will need a program.

The May 15 program is to be determined, and will be held at the Boulder City library.

Mary will be checking for a drop-off place for the Desert Quilters show. (Note from Mary: Members may drop off at any of the quilt shops listed on your entry form list. All entries must be boxed individually, and if you have concerns about their safety, Teri and Mary will be at Quiltique on Mar. 11 to help enter and then store the doll entries).

Lynn requested information for the newsletter about each of our members. Please e-mail some information about yourself, your hobbies, and your experience. She is also looking for doll resources through the library.

Sandy contacted Jean Bernard for teacher rates for class. They would usually charge $250 but would charge us $200 per day. We would have her for 3 days, Apr. 23 - 25. Dates were acceptable with all who would like to attend. It will be held at the Boulder City Library. Discussion was held as to what we would like her to teach as she has many talents, and she does everything mixed media. It was decided we would like something small, old products used in new ways. We talked about the chair class she has taught and that some of our members have already made. This will be an all-day event and information will be forthcoming as to whether a kit fee will be required. Lynn will check on lunch accommodations nearby and let us know what is available.

Discussion was held as to whether Las Vegas Silver Doll-ers is covered by the 501 C3 status. Mary said we don't have that status, but by having half of our members listed as members for DQN, we are covered by their insurance when we meet at a public location like the library.

Tooth fairy bags (now re-named treasure bags) were displayed and discussed. If they're not sold, they will be returned to the maker. Decision regarding price is that we will ask for min. donation of $8.00, and Maryann will make up a sign so stating. Deadline for completion of treasure bags is next meeting where we will put a price tag on them.

Fran showed us the mouse clown with moon and star bases that Micki made for us as samples for EDAC. Micki has 20 star bases and washers for the base of the mice. After discussion on size and characters, it was decided that the mouse can be any fabric or color, and will be decorated as a circus character. All are requested to bring their mice to the March meeting.

Diane asked if we shouldn't have some by-laws for our club. Teri, Diane and Fran have volunteered to draft up same for future discussion.

For show and tell, Fran brought the 5 dolls she entered into IDAC. Liz brought her moon pin on a stand. Very elaborate, Liz! Mary brought painted candlesticks that Teri inspired with her painting instruction.

Mary brought foam core and supplies to instruct the group how to build a shadow box out of an ordinary picture frame, and cover the foam core. It was great fun, and some even finished!

Respectfully submitted by Iris (and added to by Mary)
