AMERICAN DAIRY ASSOCIATION OF COLORADO EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE

MINUTES AUGUST 4, 1970

Meeting was called to order by the President, at 9:30 A. M., at the Capri Hotel, Denver. Members present were: Adolph Bohlender, William Wailes, Norman Weng, Gene Peterson, Mrs. Jean Zehnder, Lyal Nelson, and Manager Howard Ryan.

The Minutes of the ADA of Colorado Executive Committee Meeting July 7, 1970, were read by the Secretary, Norman Weng. It was moved they be approved. Motion carried. Motion was made by Norman Weng, seconded by William Wailes, that the July, 1970, ADA of Colorado check register be approved. All agreed. Motion carried.

Manager Ryan led out in a discussion on re-affiliation of ADA of Colorado with National ADA. It was decided by all present to submit an Affiliation Membership Agreement to National ADA for ADA of Colorado, to take effect January 1, 1971. Also, to send letters to all directors of National ADA, stating ADA of Colorado's intentions toward re-affiliation. Motion was made by William Wailes, seconded by Gene Peterson, that this be done. Motion carried.

Manager Ryan gave a report on the "Flavor Project". He stated that he has been in contact with a firm in Kansas City, Automatic Packager's Inc. , who is willing to package the flavors for ADA of Colorado. It is hoped to have this accomplished and into the hands of the retailers this Fall.

Manager Ryan has been contacted by the State Agriculture Department, asking if ADA of Colorado would be interested in participating at the State Fair, with some form of advertising. After some discussion, it was thought a good idea to try out the flavor project. All present were unanimously agreed to this.

Fort Collins Milk Producers have contacted ADA of Colorado, stating they wish to participate in the "Flavor Project" and MEDA advertising program. It was decided by all present that a recommendation be made to MEDA Board of Directors asking for their approval to this request.

Manager Ryan told the Executive Committee of receiving word from the Manager of "Frontier Days", stating of the success of the chuckwagon breakfast, in which ADA of Colorado had participated. It was learned that the total for this had exceeded the original limit set at $200.00, by $40.00. Due to the benefits of this type of advertisement, it was unanimously agreed to pay the extra amount if necessary.

Discussion was held concerning participation in the Stock Show with the "Flavor Project". Motion was made by Mrs. Jean Zehnder, seconded by William Wailes, to follow through on this. Motion carried.

Discussion was held concerning Executive Committee election procedure. It was agreed by all to leave this as is.

AMERICAN DAIRY ASSOCIATION OF COLORADO BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING

Meeting was called to order by the President at 10:30 A. M., at the Capri Motor Hotel, Denver.

Directors present included: Adolph Bohlender, Lyal M. Nelson, Norman Weng, William R. Wailes, Gene B. Peterson, Mrs. Jean Zehnder, Victor E. Tribelhorn, C. A. Reid, Jr., Robert E. Lisco, A.H. Miller, William C. Burzlaff and R. K. Alkire.

Also present as special guests were Manager Harry Myers of Carnation Co.'s Johnstown Plant, Manager Jim Hicks of Ft. Collins Milk Producers and Harvey Wilhelm and Jim Cobb of the MEDA staff.

The Minutes of the ADA of Colorado Board of Directors Meeting, February 12, 1970, were read by the Secretary, Norman Weng. It was then moved they stand approved as read. All were in unanimous agreement to this. Motion carried.

At this time, Manager Howard Ryan introduced Mr. Robert Lisco, to the Board of Directors. Mr. Lisco was appointed from MEDA District 10, to fill the vacancy left when John Woodis resigned as Director, due to the sale of his dairy herd. Mr. Lisco is from Bennet, Colorado and all will enjoy working with him throughout the year. Motion was made by Robert Alkire, seconded by Norman Weng, that he be seated on the ADA of Colorado Board of Directors at this time. Motion carried. Nominations were opened at this time for election of a Director to National ADA to fill the vacancy left by the departure of John Woodis. Those nominated for this office were Vic Tribelhorn and Robert Alkire. Mr. Alkire declined at this time. Nominations were closed, and Vic Tribelhorn then became the Director for National ADA.

A report was given on the progress toward re-affiliation of ADA of Colorado with national ADA. The contract to be presented to national ADA was read to ADA of

Colorado Board of Directors. It was decided it would be better to have this contract take effect October 1, 1970, rather than January 1, 1971, as previously voted by ADA of Colorado Executive Committee, should national ADA accept. Motion was made by C. A. Reid, Jr., seconded by A.H. Miller, that the Letter of Addendum to the Membership Affiliation be accepted. Motion carried.

Delegates to the fall meeting of national ADA will be Adolph Bohlender and William Wailes. Mrs. Jean Zehnder will be alternate. Vic Tribelhorn will attend as

national director; also Howard Ryan as manager of ADA of Colorado.

A report was given on the progress of a new product development project undertaken in recent months by ADA of Colorado, namely the "Flavor Project". ADA directors were given the opportunity of sampling flavors of milk in orange, grape, banana, lime and strawberry at this time. All present were quite impressed with this new project, and will watch the development of this with great interest. It was generally felt this would be very successful.

Board of Directors Minutes Page 2 August 4, 1970

Motion was made by Mrs. Jean Zehnder, seconded by Robert Alkire, that the recommendation made to ADA of Colorado Board of Directors from Executive Committee be accepted allowing Fort Collins Milk Producers to contribute $4,000.00 toward "Flavor Project" and that this recommendation be made to the MEDA Board of Directors.

Motion was made by C. A. Reid, Jr., seconded by A. H. Miller, that acts of business by the ADA of Colorado Executive Committee made since the last meeting of the ADA of Colorado Board of Directors be approved and that the 1970 Executive Committee be authorized to carry on the affairs of ADA of Colorado for the next six months, or until the next meeting of the Board of Directors. Motion carried unanimously.

Motion was made by Vic Tribelhorn, seconded by William Wailes, that any present-ation of ADA of Colorado promotion material to other distributing and marketing organizations remain solely with the discretion of the ADA of Colorado Executive Committee. Motion carried.

Concerning the Executive Committee election procedure, it was decided that there was no desire to change this policy, and it will remain as is.

Meeting adjourned.

Howard T. Ryan Manager

On hehalf of erican Dairy inform you that we are in a obligation required for AD

Association of Colorado, it is our pl~asure to position to resume the basic financial

w1it membership.

Therefore, please consider this our application for rcaffiliation and the ret-:rn of ADA of Colorado to unit member status with national ADA.

As you may know, we have been successful in a special effort made on behalf of national ADA to secure authorization for a specific chec~-o:ff sufficient to meet the pro-rated annu 1 assessments for national DA's Basic Program Activities and busic fluid milk advertis·ng. This assumes that basic charges will remain at or near the level of this year (1970). 1, e have been informed that in some instances an addendum, or letter of clari.fication, has been made part of the Membership Affiliation and Service Ag.ceement. Relations between this organizatiO!l. and the marke t-ing organizations w ich provide its support make i t necessary to ask that the attac ed addendwn be made part of the Membership Affiliation and Service Agreement, as it pertains to ADA of Colorado, in order to preclude possible misunderstanding in the future.

Our Board of Directors requests reaumission to member unit status for the final three months of 1970 (Oct. 1-Dcc. 31) with charges adjusted to one-fourth of th annual basic charges for 1970; and that a similar contract (addendwn) be exc:cuted for 1971 after we learn the amount of the basic charc:.ies for the comi.ng year .

Executive Committee Page 2 August 5, 1970

Also, please consider this a reminder of the Junior Dairy show at the Colorado State Fair on THURSDAY, August 27. The Show starts at 1:30 p. m. Let's meet in the Livestock Pavillion at about 1 p. m. If we have a

quorum, we can have a short meeting.

You will be interested in knowing that we are going ahead with the flavor sampling project in the Hall of Agriculture building.

Regarding the flavor project, it became necessary from the standpoint of exclusive copyright to give up the "Chugalug" trademark. Therefore, we are proceeding with another name, which has the earmarks of working even better. It is "Chugamoo." Our attorney advised us today that we are in the clear for an exclusive copyright on this name.

More good news: Safeway Stores has made a firm commitment to give the new product a trial of at least 13 weeks in all 150 of its stores in the Colorado-Wyoming area. Further, they have agreed to display it in cartons on the milk case price rail.

Safeway's acceptance of the product, coupled with the advertising push we will make on it, virtually assures a trial by other retail food outlets, too. It now appears that an introduction of the product this Fall (probably in October) is practical and we are proceeding toward it.

More on this when we see you -- hopefully next Thursday.

Mr. Howard T. Ryan

American Dairy Association of Colorado 945 - - 11th Street

· Denver, t olorado 80204

M. J. Framberger General Manager

The Executive Committee in their meeting this week reviewed the request I

of Colorado for affiliation with American Dairy Association. The Executive Committee, of course, will make their recommendation to the Board of Directors when they meet in late September.

The Executive Committee is agreeable to have Colorado affiliate with American Dairy Association commencing October 1, 1970 provided that the pro-rata basic charges are assumed by Colorado. Under this arrange-ment Colorado would pay American Dairy Association $7,565 during the balance of 1970.

In reviewing the addendum with the Committee which Colorado proposes to add to the membership affiliation agreement, it is their feeling that certain of the requirements as proposed by Colorado are unduly restrictive. They -propose that changes be made in the wording 9f paragraph 2 and paragraph 3 of the addendum as follows: In paragraph 2 the following words would precede this paragraph:

"Provided that the conditions of Point 4 of Page 1 of the Membership Affiliation and Service Agreement have been fulfilled, " all . . • . . .

They also propose that paragraph 3 be deleted in its entirety and that the following words be substituted:

"American Dairy Association will work in close coordination with ADA of Colorado in connection with all service contacts and activities to be carried out in implementing the program of the national organization. 11

continued-i

(12)

,.

Mr. Howard T. Ryan -2- August 2 7, 1970

The basis for these suggestions is that the basic intent and uniformity of the affiliation agreement must be preserved, and that these changes would

not alter the agreement in this regard.

I am personally hopeful that your committee will be in agreement with this proposal. We will appreciate hearing from you in this regard at an early date so that the proper recommendations might be p.repared for the Board,

and that we might project having representation from Colorado at the Buffalo meeting.

Meeting was called to order by the President, at 1:00 P. M., in the livestock pavilion, Colorado State Fair, Pueblo. Members present were: Adolph Bohlender, William Wailes, Norman Weng, Mrs. Jean Zehnder, Gene Peterson, and Manager Howard Ryan.

Upon the suggestion of Manager Ryan, it was decided to dispense with the reading of the minutes of the Executive Committee meeting of August 4, 1970, these to be read at next meeting of Executive Committee.

Manager Ryan informed the Executive Committee that due to a new regulation governing monies held in

u

.

S. treasury notes, amounts of these notes must total $10,000.00, to remain in effect. It was unanimously agreed that an additional $5,000.00 be

added to the now existing notes on deposit for American Dairy Association of Colorado, to keep them current.

Delegates attending the fall meeting of National ADA, to be held in Buffalo, New York, September 27 - 30, will be Adolph Bohlender, William Wailes, Vic Tribelhorn, and

Manager Howard Ryan. Mrs. Jean Zehnder will be an alternate.

Manager Ryan informed the Executive Committee that a reservation for booth space at the National Western Stock Show has been made, and plans are moving ahead toward participation with the "Flavor Project".

Manager Ryan informed the Executive Committee of the possibility of needing additional help to assist him during the introduction and promotion of the "Flavor Project".

Motion was made by Norman Weng, seconded by Gene Peterson, to give Manager Ryan the needed authority to hire an additional person if necessary. Motion carried.

Manager Ryan informed the Executive Committee there could be some conflict in using the Chugalug name because of an earlier patent on this; therefore it was decided wise to change. The name chosen to use will be Chugamoo. All agreed.

It was decided to taper off somewhat on the amount being used for promotion and advertising materials in the future months. This would make possible a build up in funds to further promote and market the "Flavor Project".

Meeting adjourned, so Executive Committee could participate in awarding Junior Show Breed champion trophies and ribbons in the dairy division of State Fair. Also cash awards for champion Herdsmen.

Next meeting of American Dairy Association of Colorado will be September 24, 1970,

in the offices of ADA of Colorado, 955 Eleventh Street, Denver, Colorado.

-AMERICAN DAIRY ASSOCIATION OF COLORADO EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE

MINUTES

SEPTEMBER 24, 1970

Meeting was called to order by the President, at 10:15 A. M., in the offices of ADA of Colorado. Members present were: Adolph Bohlender, William Wailes, Norman Weng, Gene Peterson, Vic Tribelhorn, Mrs. Jean Zehnder, and Manager Howard Ryan. Motion was made that the Minutes of ADA of Colorado Executive Committee meeting, and ADA of Colorado full board meeting of August 4, 1970, stand approved as mailed. Motion carried.

Minutes of ADA of Colorado Executive Committee meeting of August 27, were then read by the secretary, Norman Weng. They were approved unanimously.

Motion was made by William Wailes, seconded by Vic Tribelhorn, that the August, 1970, ADA of Colorado Check Register, be approved. Motion carried.

A report on the Colorado State Fair was given at this time. All present thought it was a success, and enjoyed taking part in awarding the trophies at the Junior Dairy Show. Everyone thought the introduction of the Chugamoo Flavors samples was well accepted by the general public. It was noted that 248 gallons of milk was consumed, in mixing the flavor samples. ADA of Colorado will be responsible for $236.98 of the promotion's approximate cost of $1,450.00 •

Manager Ryan, at this time, introduced to the Executive Committee, Mr. R. C. Bernhard, who has become a member of the working staff of ADA of Colorado. Mr. Bernhard will be filling the position of Promotion Projects & Services Director, assisting Mr. Ryan. His employment began September 21, 1970; his salary to be $1,150.00 per month. Motion was made by Mrs. Jean Zehnder, seconded by William Wailes, that the hiring of Mr. Bernhard, be approved by the Executive Committee. Motion carried unanimously.

Manager Ryan gave a report on the Flavor Project progress up to date. It is planned to introduce it on the market in October, 1970. Safeway Stores will put the Chugamoo Flavors on their racks when ever they are supplied.

Manager Ryan read a letter which had been received from Mr. Dawson Jordan, who is associated with the agriculture extension division of Colorado State

University, requesting ADA of Colorado consider development of a Dairy

Scholarship in the future. This would aid students in the study of dairying, and possibly help more to return to the farm upon completion of their education. After some discussion it was decided that it would be unwise at this time to participate in such a venture. Motion was made by Vic Tribelhorn, seconded by Mrs. Jean Zehnder, that such a decision of this type should be brought to MEDA Board of Directors, for their thoughts and final decision. Motion carried.

-Executive Committee Minutes Page 2 September 24, 1970

Discussion was held on the Reaffiliation Negotiations with National ADA. It seems that national is wanting to be sure of receiving all monies of the basic charge, which is $35,000.00, from ADA of Colorado. It was the consensus of the Executive Committee that ADA of Colorado cannot and will not sign any contract without knowing the dollar commitment, and cannot commit itself in excess of the amount which can be reasonably expected from the one-half cent check-off from its producer-members, for support of national ADA. A motion to this effect was made by William Wailes, seconded by Mrs. Jean Zehnder. Motion carried.

Manager Ryan was instructed by the Executive Committee to telegram National ADA that the ADA of Colorado's delegation would arrive in Buffalo at 2:00 P. M., September 27, 1970.

In reviewing the letter dated August 27, 1970, from the national ADA, with regard to changing paragraphs in the ADA of Colorado's Addendum to the

Membership Affiliation, it was the unanimous opinion of the Executive Committee of ADA of Colorado, that the original Addendum of ADA of Colorado not be amended. Manager Ryan was instructed to request a joint meeting of ADA of Colorado and MEDA, October 15, 1970, meeting to be held at ADA offices.

Meeting adjourned •

ADA of Colorado wishes at this time to renew its request for affiliated unit status on the terms stated in our letter of

August 5, 1970, and those listed in the attached Addendum to the Membership Affiliation and Service Agreemento

1. Upon your acceptance of our Addendum, we do assume the obligation of payments totaling $7, 565 for the period October 1 through December 31, 1970.

2. ADA of Colorado seeks the opportunity to support,

financially and in spirit, the general purposes and work of national ADA • • • but must retain unrestricted discretion and control of programs implemented within the area served by ADA of Colorado, and therefore,

must insist that the provisions of Point 3 in the proposed Addendum remain as submitted.

a. This delegation has been instructed by the Executive Committee of ADA of Colorado to

adhere to all provisions of the proposed Addendum.

b. Similar instruction was laid down by the full Board of Directors of ADA of Colorado at special meeting, August 4, 1970.

c. Provisiaps of the Addendum have prior approval of the EDA Board of Directors and any changes will,

n

i tably, cause further delay in

effect ng the desired reaffiliation. 3. Some Points of Clarification.

a. ADA of Colorado intends to continue serving

dairy farmers of our area, through their marketing organizations, as an autonomous agency, responsive to the needs, desires , and will of its investing co- ops.

(25)

--

.

c. ADA of Colorado "sold" the producer-members of

its three investing co- oper atives on a special

one-half cent per cwt . check-off for support of

national ADA. This checkoff, authorized subject

to review at the end of 1971, can yield no more

than $35,000 a year based on our 700-million

pounds of product.

d. ADA of Colorado cannot and will not sign any

contract without knowing the dollar committment

and cannot commit itself in excess of the amount

which can reasonably be expected from the one-half

cent checkoff .

e. ADA of Colorado must take exception to the

explanation advanced which purports that dis

-affiliation of ADA of Colorado from national ADA "resulted from a position taken by management of MEDA who would not allow investments to be made

in the national program."

"'

..

All policy decisions regarding national

ADA participation or non-participation

were made by the MEDA Board of Directors.

The special checkoff authorization for

national ADA was "sold" with the

cooperation of MEDA Board and Management.

Acting on authorization given by American Dairy Association's Board

General· Manager

of Directors, the Executive Committee has agreed to the affiliation of

ADA of Colorado effective October 1, 1970. The following is the report

of the action of the Committee, as excerpted from the minutes of that

meeting:

"After considerable discussion, on motion by Young, seconded by Larson, and carried, it was agreed to

permit affiliation of ADA of Colorado effective October 1, 1970, provided that all funds invested from the 1 /21 per

hundredweight special set-aside be applied towards the

basic program and national milk advertising programs,

based on Colorado I_{s proportionate fair share}_. _If_{the level}

of investment from the special. set-aside is not adequate

to meet the full commitment, this will become a matter

of negotiation with the Executive Committee at the end of

1971. It Wets further agreed that matters concerning

contacts within Colorado, specifically point 3 in the pro-posed addendum, be worked out in a mutually satisfactory

m anner. 11

There are attached two copies of the affiliation agreement and two copies

of the; proposed addendum to the affiliation agreement. If you will complete

these forms and return them to me at your earliest convenience, we will get the proper signatures and provide you with a copy for your records.

(27)

ed-Mr. Howard T. Ryan -2- October 5, 1970

Needless to say I am very pleased that this action was taken and look forward to re-establishing close and cooperative relationships with

ADA of Colorado. Should you have any question in regard to any matters, please contact me by phone as soon as possible.

Please consider this notice that the Executive Committee of ADA of Colorado will meet at 10:30 A. M., MONDAY, October 12, 1970.

MEDA President Del Schlachter has asked that we meet with the MEDA Executive Committee Monday afternoon rather than with the full Board of Directors later in the week as had been planned.

There will be much to discuss regarding our attempted reaffiliation with national ADA. Enclosed for those who didn't attend the Buffalo meeting is a copy of the ADA of Colorado presentation outline. We feel it is correct to say that national ADA is in the predicament of not wanting to see our $35,000 (approx.) offer slip away • • • but having to boost "basic program charges for Colorado to $50,000 next year. We have been promised a written set of terms which we hope to have in hand by Monday's meeting.

More on all of this at the meeting which we hope will be a full-attendance

session. It will be appreciated if you will call the office (collect) by Friday in the event you cannot attend.

It is a pleasure to inform you that the MEDA Board of Directors acted favorably on all recommendations made by the ADA of Colorado Executive Committee at our last meeting.

As you will recall, these recommendations included:

1. Check-off of one-half cent/cwt, effective Oct. 1, for reaffiliation with national ADA.

2. Permission for Ft. Collins Milk Producers and Western Colorado Milk Producers to participate in the Chugamoo Flavor project on a pro-rata basis of sharing expense according to production.

3. Revision of the advertising budget for the remainder of

the year for application to the Chugamoo Flavor introduction. 4. Rejection of the proposed CSU Dairy Scholarship.

MEDA producers will be notified of the additional checkoff by an item in the forthcoming issue of MEDA NEWS.

Meanwhile, work goes well on the Chugamoo project. Enthusiasm evidenced by the handlers contacted since our meeting is most gratifying. Lloyd Bracksieck of Meadow Gold has cleared the way for distribution through all Meadow Gold home delivery routes. Ed Tepper of Shoenberg Farms assures us of a trial in all 20 of his Dolly Madison stores in Denver.

Printing of the pouches for Chugamoo has been completed and the samples forwarded from Sunrise Packaging look great. Next steps are lamination of the foil and polyethylene layers to the paper. This should be completed sometime this week. Then the action shifts to Kansas City where the filling operation will begin. Our best estimate at this time is that we should be receiving the product in Denver the week of Nov. 9.

More as developments warrant.

Just a note to update you on activities of the past few weeks.

Howard T. Ryan

Manager

It is a pleasure to report that all MEDA District Meetings have been completed (whew!) and that Norm Weng, Vic Tribelhorn and A. H. Miller all have been re-elected to three-year terms on the ADA of Colorado board of directors.

Chugamoo was sampled during the program at each of the meetings and was accorded enthusiastic response from the producers. The product also has been getting some good newspaper and radio publicity. Keep an eye and ear open for the advertising which is now in full force for the market introduction.

Chugamoo is moving into the stores and home delivery dairies now. We will, of course, let you know as soon as we have something definite regarding how it takes off in sales.

In the absence of objects, let's consider Dec. 10 as the TENTATIVE date for our next Executive Committee meeting. We will issue a notice for it.

Meanwhile, the minutes of our last meeting and the October check register are enclosed for reading at your convenience.

First reports on movement of Chugamoo out of the stores and through dairy

retail routes are very encouraging. We

may

have a success on our hands.

Howard T. Ryan

Manager

With the press of activities related to distribution, in-store demonstrations,

publicity and advertising, I trust you will each find it reasonable to hold

our next Executive Corrmittee meeting at 10 a.

m.,

on TUESDAY, December 22.

We have arranged a public relations visit to the United Cerebral Palsey Center here in Denver for that date. Chugamoo Flavored milk treats, holiday butter cookies and a personal appearance by "Blinky" KWGN's popular kid's show clown. There are 113 kids at the Center. I think it will be of real merit to have our Executive Committee participate in this visit. Along with

doing something for the kids,

we

should be able to count on some good solid

publicity for our new product and for the production end of the daity industry.

In the event you cannot attend the December 22 meeting, please call (collect}

before meeting time so

we

can start on time. It should be a busy day.

The November check register is enclosed.
