                    <text>Minutes 3/20/22
The March AFTM board meeting was hosted by Matt Welch at Winn Ranch, near
Hamilton Pool, TX.
Attending were Matt Welch, Tim and Angie Wooten, James Seppi, Jeanne DeFriese,
Gary Mortenson, Dan Thompson, and Lee Thomas
Minutes from February were approved.
Newsletter update: Gary is planning to compile the newsletter this week with
stories and photos covering the Patterson Park jam which was well attended
Saturday, upcoming Old Pal dulcimer and old time music festival, Fort Worth African
Roots Music Festival, a music gathering at Inks Lake, and a mention about board
vacancies with a call out to fill vacancies.
Website update-James. The website is being updated on a regular basis. Please keep
him up to date on matters of interest to AFTM.
AFTM has been offered a monthly meeting and jam space at Austin Hearing Aid
Center, 4403 Menchaca Rd. The April meeting will be held there.
Austin String Band Festival
Tim presented a breakdown of the income and expense budget for the 2022 ASBF.
Tim noted that our loss of money on tee shirt sales should net be reflected in loss in
merch sales, but as performer fees, sponsor cost, and give away to board members
(perks).
Jeanne presented her ideas and reasons for having police security onsite, including
protection for the people sitting away from the main festival area at the gate. The
expense has gotten higher over the years, possibly prohibitive if we don’t raise more
money for the festival. Board has considered hiring or using volunteer security
personnel as an alternative. The idea of renting a police car at a lower price to add to
the visual presence of security was brought up. We will look in to this option.
Jeanne is still researching bands, sound, sound equipment and related expenses. Her
focus is on highlighting bands led by women.
James suggested pre-sales of tee shirts on line with ticket sales to help us determine
the order number and sizes. Sue Crysler will be in charge of merch and this idea will
be passed to her.
There is a big need for sponsorships to cover some of these expenses. Dan T agreed
to be the sponsorship co-ordinator.
Action Tim:
Send the sponsorship packages out to the board members.

�Action all board members:
Each of us will make an all out effort to bring in one sponsor at least. There will be
an earlier deadline that Jeanne and Dan will give us to get the sponsorships lined
up in time to make sponsor banners, tee shirts, etc.
Austin Hearing Aid Center has agreed to sponsor, Matt feels certain the Winns will
sponsor.
Action: look in to roll off recycling bins for the festival. The job is too much for
trash/recycling volunteers without good support provided by the board.
Action Tim: write a letter to the members asap re: cancelled Camp Jam
Action Angie, Jeanne, James
Send a story or brief recap or photos to Gary to cover the African Roots Festival
Last minute comment that Patrick Nolan is planning to restart the beginners jams.
He has also made several interesting instruments that Gary may want to do a story
on.

                    <text>AFTM MINUTES – 12:30 p.m., July 14, 2013
Tom’s Tabooley
1. Call to Order by Dan Foster (Tim and Angie Wooten were not able to attend)
2. Approve Minutes - Minutes were approved.
3. Financial Report – CD - Membership dues are down. Only 2 from May and June this year. Due
to lack of events (no house concerts, etc.) Need to send reminders out.
MS – Last membership email-out for house concert, many emails bounced back. Will run a sort and
find the expired and send letter out to those that need to renew. ACTION ITEM
4. ASBF discussion
JD – Will start stage shows at 1 pm and no supper break this year. Have not heard back from Austin
Outhouse or Pink Sound yet.
Discussion about getting radio air-time. CF - KUT contact, Peter Babb, to set up possible interview
with Paul Brown ahead of festival. Will also contact KOOP for Friday morning live appearance on
Ms. Pearl’s General Store. Week of festival is pledge week on KUT and weeks before that, Austin
City Limits promotion will take precedent.
CD – Any suggestions on how to designate campers? Stretch tape – neon various colors. Camp
Ben uses a certain color that we should NOT use. Camper or tent needs to have this tag on, not car
dashboard.
JD – Neon colored plastic ties? Will go to Home Depot and investigate.
CD – Numbered tickets this year to keep better track of how many camping stickers were sold.
CD – RE: Moving admission gate table closer in, so volunteers don’t miss the whole stage show?
Still need to figure this out. Electricity at that location a factor.
JD – Shut gate down at 8 pm and leave a sign for folks to come to merch booth to pay?
DF – Would it be possible to hire someone that’s trustworthy to sit at gate after 8 pm?
5. Next Flipnotics showcase?
Aug. 6 – Missing Parts and a replacement band for Blue Buckskin Winchers (had to cancel).
JD – Suggests we have past AFTM newsletters at Showcases to hand out. Need to reprint.
ACTION ITEM
6. Any update on this?: Evan Leslie, Butler School of Music at the University of Texas asked for
our help in the Spring of 2014, to present a bluegrass concert featuring fiddling in association with
the Yehudi Menhuin Competition for Young Violinists.
DF – No updates – Sent a long email to Mr. Leslie, have not heard back.
7. CF – Dr. Gary Hartmann’s TX Music History Journal, next issue out Nov 1, 2013. Too late to be
considered for an AFTM article or ad this time. Gary has offered to bring some past issues out to
ASBF for merch booth.
8. CF - Pioneer Farms is interested in AFTM having the Mid-Winter Festival at the farms. DF and
CF spoke to Mike and Steve on the board of Pioneer Farms briefly. JD and CD also visited after
this board meeting and pointed out several drawbacks for moving MWF for 2014. Namely, no
electricity to small buildings (maybe no heat either?) for workshops. Dance hall very nice for a
dance, but not so good for a performance setting. No kitchen, to sell food and drink. CF/DF will
get back to Pioneer Farms when Mike returns from vacation. ACTION ITEM
9. CF – Nancy Fly asked AFTM to co-host last 3 Sundays in August at Antone's providing an
opening act at 7pm to go on before Los Texmaniacs. Our name and logo should be listed on the
Antone’s website as co-hosts and we will, in turn, post to the AFTM website. It was decided that

�we will provide band names to Nancy Fly and she will take care of the rest.

                    <text>December 11, 2021 AFTM Board meeting
Attending:
Matt, Mike, Gary, Lee, Dan Thompson, Tim, Angie
Special guest: Margie Bivens representing String Break
No minutes available from November.
No financial report though Cheryl shared that our balance has not changed much.
We still owe $500.00 to Festival of Texas Fiddling.
Margie Bivens attended to discuss having AFTM Austin Camp Jam join with the
String Break group. The basic format is keep it simple; no gate charges other than
camp fee to Camp Ben, no rental of the pavilion, no structured activities, no set date.
They are open to the open mic idea, possibly on stage.
They would consider sharing the cost of rental for the stage.
Action: Tim will check with Crystal to see if there are open weekends this Spring.
Looking for dates that don’t conflict with Old Settlers or other events held at Camp
Ben.
Mike’s suggestion (not a vote) of trying it one year was received well by most board
members and Margie.
Newsletter report
Gary has plenty content for the newsletter, with a cover story on the Camp Jam. It
will be coming out either just before or after Christmas. Sounds like a good one!
Website
James has agreed to take over the AFTM website if he can pass some of his current
duties on to other board members. Mike and James have agreed to take on some of
these duties.
Agenda items:
1. In person meetings discussion for board meetings and/or jams.
Tim referred to the Bylaws which say “The Board shall schedule regular
social meetings for the purpose of sharing music and disseminating
information.” Jamming in person can be resumed, at least outdoors. Ideas
were shared on holding jams.
Matt offered the ranch on the Pedernales River across from Hamilton Pool where
he is working. The Winn development would welcome our music around the
Farm area and there is the possibility that this may lead to a relationship
between AFTM and the Winns where other music events could be held.
Action: Tim will contact Britt about the Patterson Park jam status regarding
possibilities for taking that on as an AFTM jam.

�2. Scholarships
Scholarship format we currently follow will be shared by Tim. Board members
were asked to read over the email so discussion can follow about how to move
forward in the future. All present were in favor of continuing to offer
scholarships, with details to be determined.
Action: Tim will provide an email about the current scholarship format.
Board members: Submit any ideas for discussion.
Dan offered the possibility of offering a scholarship for the Jump Start weekend
in March being held in the home of Gene and Marinell Young. Jump Start puts on
weekend events offering performances and workshops. The cost for attending,
including all meals, is $350-$400. (I have no information about this event to
offer in my email)
Meeting adjourned

                    <text>AFTM Minutes – 12:30 p.m., April 14, 2013
Tom’s Tabooley
1. Call to Order
2. Approve Minutes - Minutes were approved.
3. Financial Report – CD - $1434 sent off to Swannanoah for two scholarship recipients, otherwise
little activity. Reports sent out via email prior to April meeting.
CF – IBM matching donation (via Dave Obermann) has not been received. Will look into this.
Financial report approved by board.
4. ASBF discussion – JD
. Still waiting on expense estimate from Paul Brown. Hoping to work with Blackpot Festival to
help share expenses.
. Purly Gates – enquiry for children’s activity at ASBF. Storytelling and music, kids make
instruments and then do a little performance on stage. One of first acts on stage on Saturday.
. Biscuit Brothers on TCA touring schedule. Possible grant money may be available to cover part of
their costs.
. Wait on asking jugglers for ASBF.
CD – Should expand sponsorships. Suggest finding sponsors “for” children’s activities, after we
obtain cost for children events. Send suggestions to Barbara Deane for updates to Sponsor Form..
CF – Kevin Tweedy, new board member – possible volunteer coordinator? See if Maggie Valenti
will help train whoever becomes Volunteer Coordinator.
5. House Concerts &amp; Central Market Concerts
CD – Suggests posting a notice on Yahoo group to ask if anyone would like to donate their house
for a future house concert.
AW – Zilker Park rental (ampitheater) possible?
Other ideas: Darren Appelt, Joane Rylander’s backyard, Steve Dean’s dance halls (out of town),
Round Mountain Community Center near CD’s house (Cedar Park?),
JD – Suggestions for dance events – Moose Lodge, CF – Senior Center (29th &amp; Lamar)
6. Dog Policy discussion – Board discussed and approved a “no dog policy” for the Austin String
Band Festival. Board has power to use discretion if an attendee accidentally brings a dog, asking
them to “keep it out of sight”. If not complying, a Board member can ask attendee to leave.
JD – Board needs to communicate with each other when a dog is sighted.
BD – Need to publicize more and sooner than in the past.
TW – When purchasing ticket, make the “no dogs policy” clear on website.
ACTION: Ask Sharon I. to add no dog policy to AFTM website and add a list of links to
kennels nearby.
7. Pending business:
a. Frequently asked questions (and answers)
CD – First question, what is AFTM responsible for on grounds of Camp Ben McCulloch?
TW – ASBF is done at noon on Sunday. Prior to festival, Camp Ben official, Johnny Hudson and
TW will drive around and view festival grounds. Inspection with Johnny Hudson and TW will
occur at noon on Sunday.
BD – Need handouts of google maps to Seton Southwest Hospital. Red emergency folders have
this info (gate, merch booth and kitchen is where RED emergency folders reside)

�ACTION: Each board member come up with questions, send to Tim Wooten to be compiled
in a pocket booklet for future ASBF festival.
DF – Volunteered to put a web application together to compile questions. Google link to
emergency info to be included in FAQs. ACTION: Dan will compile to web location after
questions collected.
Other business? CF – Suggestion: CafePress.com is an online vendor that can generate our t-shirts
on an individual basis when we sell out of our inventory. We will still make a set amount of t-shirts
for ASBF, but can cut back on quantity, freeing up merchandise storage from year to year. We
choose which shirts, styles, coffee mugs, etc. for the “AFTM store”. AFTM would get a percentage
per item. Person wanting to buy shirt has choice of color, style of shirt, etc. Change design slightly
to differentiate from original design. See Wolf’s website for example:
http://www.cafepress.com/banjohazard
ACTION: Christy Foster will look into further details and get back to board.

In attendance:
Tim and Angie, Jeanne, Lee, James, Matt with proxy given by Rachel, Gary, &amp; Mike
Minutes approved from August without discussion.
Financial report, sent by Rachel in an email, was approved without discussion.
Website report by James was that he plans to update the website to include festival
information after the board meeting.
Tim introduced Matt Welch to the board. Matt told the board about his background
and interest in aftm. He will provide a bio for us. Motion was made and seconded to
accept Matt as a board member. Matt joined the board by unanimous vote.
October ASB campout/jam report
Jeanne gave her suggestion that the formal activities all be ditched with informal
activities to take place at campsites. These are to include band sets at campsites,
Mira presenting a Norway show and tell, Rachel’s friend to have story telling, and
any spontaneous events to be listed on a board near the restrooms with some brief
directions to the campsite and a time. This would take all activities away from the
stage area and we would still rent that space to hold it so no other groups would be
using it for other events.
The festival will be free to the public and all camp fees will be collected by Camp
Ben. Jeanne suggested that AFTM pay the performers who are asked to perform. She
later suggested in an email that we at least pay for their aftm membership if they
aren’t paid for their performance.
Trash bags will be given to all campers who will be responsible for carrying their
own trash and recycling to either the large dumpster or to their homes.
No volunteers would be needed except to pick up trash that is left on Sunday. Matt
and Tim volunteered to do this with the help of one volunteer from Camp Ben.
The event will be covered by aftm’s insurance. It will be an AFTM sponsored event.
Angie expressed Covid concerns if people gather up close around campsites to hear.
She expressed a preference to either cancel planned activities or to have all
performances take place on the stage with simple sound system and chairs placed
with safe social distancing in the pavilion area below the stage. No vote was made
for or against proposed changes to the format.

                    <text>AFTM MINUTES – 12:30 p.m., March 10, 2013
Tom’s Tabooley
1. Call to Order
2. Approve Minutes - Minutes were approved.
3. Financial Report and storage room discussion.
CD – Financial reports were sent to board prior to meeting. Bottom line, more money raised at
MWF in 2013 than in 2012. Recommendation for 2014 – do not sell Senior tickets at lower rate
than member tickets at MWF. Many members unhappy about this. Table managers have authority
to use discretion at the door if situations arise. Financial report approved by the board.
AW – Regarding stored kitchen items: Easier to store at the Wooten house. Storage unit location is
out of the way and expensive to keep all year round. Board discussed and approved terminating the
current storage unit agreement.
4. Board election – The slate is all current board members plus Kenny Tweedy (who can start in
May) and Mike Savercool. Approval of current slate accomplished.
AW – Suggests he be responsible for publicity or volunteer committee. This needs to be discussed
with Kenny.
JD – Recommends that Christy F. be in charge for ASBF 2013.
5. Music scholarships – One applicant, Joshua Logan Moore has been approved as recipient for
2013. JD will be responsible for handling notification to recipient and working with Swannanoa on
registration, sending check, etc.. (NOTE: Board decided to award a 2nd recipient, Isaiah (Howard
Rains’ son) after discovering that the applicant’s email had been turned into the AFTM webmail
before the scholarship deadline. Webmaster was out of town at the time and board was not
informed until after the deadline and March meeting)
6. ASBF discussion – J.DeFriese
Paul Brown Band, (his wife and band member teaches banjo and uke), $1500-$3000 estimate.
Hoppin Jenny, $2000 +
Bayou Seco - Willing to cut this band depending on budget for Paul Brown and Hoppin’ Jenny.
Board gave approval for JD to ask and negotiate with the above three bands to play.
Local bands (to be paid $350 each) – Charles Thibadeaux for Friday night, possible. Papermoon
Shiners, Barn Owls, Los Pinky’s, Austin Steamers, Matt Downing’s new band, Dan and Christy
Foster….all possible, not confirmed yet. Send suggestions for mini-sets. 14 bands.
BD – Mickey Slough from Fredericksburg, dulcimer player may be interested
JD – Need to move the admissions gate so that volunteers can hear the music.
Vendor’s limitation, location and power a problem. May be possible to run extension cords to
concrete table area in front of pavilion for vendors. Also, would like to have more children’s
activities during the day.
CF – Suggested the Hey Lollies for kids as a stage band, JD – Will explore the Biscuit Brothers.
CF – Hilka from KOOP’s “Andean Hour” radio program has been applying for grants from the City
Arts Commission. Interested in collaborating with AFTM in future.
AW – Mary Briggs (Ellen Stansell’s mother) may be willing to help us in writing grants. We
should talk to her about this.
TW – Budget of $10,000 for bands. Budget sent via email prior to this meeting.

�JD – Trent Sheperd will put together ad for Old Time Herald, as well as poster, t-shirt design, etc.
7. Ricegrass – AFTM will help Louie Bond with advertising through Facebook, Yahoo group,
website to promote Ricegrass festival as requested
8. House Concerts &amp; Central Market Concerts – If we can find a volunteer with a house big enough,
centrally located with adequate parking. Genevieve Kent’s mother has a house with a possible
“outside” concert space. AFTM usually contributes $200 per house concert to pay the band.
9. Pending business:
a. policy and procedures manual
TW – More interested in a “cheat sheet” pocket, frequently asked questions for the String Band
Festival.
ACTION: We all need to jot down what each of us do and coordinate with Jeanne.
JD will put together what she already has and send it to the board.
b. Do we want to purchase Directors and Officers insurance ($1 million coverage for $804)?
Board decided to NOT purchase the Directors/Officers insurance.
Other business? JD – Would like to revisit “no dogs policy” at ASBF. Tim said he would put on
next meeting agenda.

                    <text>AFTM MINUTES – 12:30 p.m., February 10, 2013
Tom’s Tabooley
1. Call to Order
2. Approve Minutes - Minutes were approved.
3. Financial Report –
CD – Regarding Mid-Winter fest, 25% of sales from Silent Auction were made on credit card.
Suggestion: Make the “Senior” price for non-members the same as the Member price ($15).
Member price currently higher than senior price and the member should get the best advantage.
AW – I don’t think we need a senior price.
No decision made at this meeting.
$2,672 net for MWF (will change slightly as more receipts submitted for reimbursement).
Total profit: $600 better than MWF2012.
4. Midwinter Festival Changes for next year?
a. Bands – AW – Suggests workshops all morning, have an open mic going simultaneously on
stage, and start the stage “show” at 7 pm with 4 bands. Allowing more participation of attendees.
People love workshops. Also likes the idea of a dance.
JD – Had better attendance in the early part of the day than ever before.
b. Food – TW – Overbought on food, can tighten up for next year.
CD – profit about $200 (net over $400 in 2012)
c. Merchandise – CD – Did not have very good sales for band merchandise.
CD – Important to train folks on how to use the “square” technology for CC purchases.
d. Workshops – JD - We had over 100 people attending all the workshops.
e. Volunteers – CF – Need to identify a coordinator earlier next year.
f. Other - AW, might help to have a sandwich board on the street to advertise, as well as jam
going on out front.
TW – Next year – Venue for MWF is unknown. Discussed various venues including the Unitarian
Church on Grover St. They have classrooms for workshops and plenty of parking, great acoustics.
Also expensive. Grants or sponsorships could off-set expense.
AW – Need new members to form a committee for 2014 Mid-Winter Festival.
AW – Suggested a multi-cultural dance day – Possible fundraiser for future.
BD – Parking always a problem, even with the Elks Club parking availability. Difficult to
impossible for older folks and handicapped to climb the hill to Elks Lodge.
(CF NOTE: Comment on photographer volunteer position at MWF – Spoke to Tom Delaney,
MWF2013 photographer, 3/4/13 and he suggests next time we split the day up between at least 2
people for this position. I agree with this.)
5. Open Mic – Need Hosts
CF – Discussed and decided we do want to continue the Open Mics for 2013. March (SXSW and
St Patrick’s Day) and October (ASBF weekend) Open Mics will be cancelled.
RB, T&amp;A Wooten, D&amp;C Foster, Molly Johnson will host. CF Will coordinate with Dave Polacheck
and send out 2013 schedule to board.
6. Nominations.
Several folks asked. No confirmations yet. Publicity position most needed on board.
AW – Be more specific on where we need help when recruiting. Don’t necessarily need to be “on
board”, could use some folks on subcommittees. CD – Renee Hopkins willing to help, but not

�wanting to be on board. Marketing is her forte. Mike Savercool is the only nominee to date. Will
vote on next board meeting. Our by-laws state we need to send out a slate of nominees to
membership so that they are allowed to vote at next board meeting.
ACTION ITEM : An email with slate to be sent out prior to March board meeting.
TW asked Robin to do this.
Board agreed to take further nominations in the next month via email.
7. Music scholarships CF - We have two applicants Bren Koch (recipient last year) and Joshua
Logan Moore. Board voted and approved of Joshua Logan Moore as recipient of this year’s grant.
Board agreed to extend application submissions to March 8, 2013 as well.
8. Begin ASBF planning
JD – Poppin Jenny (have opened negotiations), Portland, OR, $2000 + airfare ($1000 appx).
Interest in Tim Ericson, Pennsylvania? (Shape Note singing),
Bayou Seco (not sure of health status) and Paul Brown’s band. Will forego expensive bands on
Friday night.
BD – Suggests less expensive bands in early afternoon at ASBF. Have more local bands.
9. Pending business: (NOT DISCUSSED! We run out of time every meeting).
a. policy and procedures manual
b. Do we want to purchase Directors and Officers insurance ($1 million coverage for $804)?
Other business? CD – Requests that we have Howard Rains put together the ¼ page “save the date”
flyers for ASBF.
