Report from The Cuyamungue Board of Directors
Stephanie Stephens, Treas.

The Board of the Cuyamungue Institute met on the land for their bi-annual meeting June 24th and 25th. Among the topics of discussion were accomplishments for the past year, treasurer's report and the minutes from the meeting held in January. Jackie Haworth was re-elected as secretary for the group and Marcela Canon was accepted as a certified practitioner. The board's own Rae LeCompte was accepted as a certified instructor.

Other business conducted included:

Discussion of how to market the use of the Institute to raise funds without destroying the authentic, intimate nature of the place. One action of the board was to limit the size of groups using the land.

Several expeditures were discussed and voted on. The board approved the purchase of insurance for the institute and it's rental property, inflatable twin mattresses for the bunks in the Zia Lodge, a new computer for the institute office, and a futon to replace the foldout couch in Kiva East. It also approved several repairs on the buildings at Cuyamungue, including a heating system for the Adobe House, which is rented and provides the institute with needed revenue.

Fundraising was discussed and the board employed Laurie Bower, a local grant writer, to look into grant possibilities for the institute.

The good news that the institute had enough extra capital to open a small savings account was discussed and a small celebration ensued.

The board's final action was to set the date for the next meeting. It was set for February of 2009. The board will travel to Clearwater Beach and will be the guests of newly certified instructor Rae LeCompte.
