Jordan Wilton made a motion and Alice Martin seconded to accept the minutes of the October 19, 2020 meeting of the CLD Board. The October 2020 minutes were approved with one abstention.
Due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, we realized we could have neither a November or December meeting and we would not be able to gather together for the Annual Year End Awards Banquet. A plan was developed to have all awards delivered to the recipients. We all thank John Simpson for shouldering this task! The recipients were thrilled to receive their awards. THANK YOU John!

Teresa announced that John will no longer be our Day Manager for our annual Classic I & II shows. John still plans on helping with the planning of the show, finding the judges, etc for the coming show season. We discussed hiring a show manager. Anyone interested in taking on this task, please contact Teresa Litchfield.
Paula has been working with the Illinois Horse Council in an effort to put together a schooling show that would work for this pandemic environment. She asked if CLD might want to partner with them. It will be an open dressage and western dressage show with hopes of having a one day full show. Horse Fair has now been cancelled, so March 6th and 7th will be available for the show. We will have to decide whether to hold a one day or two day show and how many rides we would need to make it profitable. Paula will get back with us when she has more information.
Our next Webex meeting will the February 21, 2021 at 4pm.
Marilyn motioned and Judy seconded to adjourn today’s meeting at 3:25pm.
Respectfully submitted,
