About Us
We are a large and active square dance club in the Twin Cities (Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota). We hold monthly dances on the second Saturday of each month from September through May, provide lessons for new dancers, and participate in social activities.
Our Social Committee plans outings such as bike trips, golf outings, boat rides, trips to various theaters, and a trip to the North Shore.
We also have demonstrations during the summer such as at Blaine's Festival. Our demonstration schedule changes each year but we all enjoy the demos and try to recruit new dancers to Square Dancing. All these activities are sponsored by the Hotfoot Stompers Square Dance Club and are open to all of our members as well as to members of other clubs.
When you join a square dance club, you immediately gain friends who share a common interest. There is no easier way to have fun, get exercise, and meet great people.
If you are thinking about square dancing, please come to one of our demos or dances to watch. Then join us in September at the Northdale Middle School, 11301 Dogwood St., Coon Rapids, Minnesota. The first two lessons (September 21st & 28th) are free.

Hotfoot Stompers Business Meeting
Monday, June 10, 2019
President: At 7:02PM, Jerry Elfert called the meeting to order at the Anoka County Library, Crooked Lake branch. We recited the Pledge of Allegiance.
Secretary: Terri Axelson conducted roll call: Presidents Betty Lou and Jerry Elfert were present; Vice President Jerry Steinworth was present; Treasurer Marv Greeninger was present; Secretary Terri Axelson was present.
Members had no questions or comments related to the published minutes from the February 12, 2019, Hotfoot Stompers business meeting. A motion to accept the minutes of the meeting was made, seconded, and carried.
Treasurer: Marv Greeninger provided a brief update on 2019 club finances; see attached document. On June 7, 2019, the club’s total balance was $5,918.52. School rental for January through June is expected to be approximately $850; the bill has not yet been received. The benevolent fund, which is used to help members attend club-related activities, has a balance of $300; no checks were written from the benevolent fund. The benevolent fund was originally established several years ago by Hotfoot member Buck Haugen.
President: Betty Lou and Jerry Elfert, out-going presidents, commented that it was a good year, and they thanked club members for all their help during the year. Betty Lou mentioned the club’s 40th anniversary, and asked if members want to have an event to celebrate; see item #3 in New Business for more details.
Marketing: Les Marier, a member of the club’s marketing committee, reported that the committee has found a portable sound system that could be used when no caller is available. The price is under $400. A question was asked about whether a license is required to publicly use purchased music.
Action item: Les Marier will research license requirements, report to the Executive Committee, and get approval before proceeding with the equipment purchase.
A motion was made to authorize the purchase -- not to exceed $500 -- for a sound system for club demo and promotional use; the marketing committee will maintain and store the equipment. The motion was seconded and carried.
Old Business
President Jerry Elfert brought up the status of the club’s EIN number. The issue regarding the EIN is not resolved. Jerry will bring the topic up for further discussion at the Federation meeting during the convention next weekend.
New Business
1. Election of officers. President Jerry Elfert introduced the next agenda item, Election of Officers. Jerry announced a change to current procedures for the treasurer: train several club volunteers to handle ticket sales at dances – two volunteers per dance. The treasurer would process the receipts at the end of the dance. This new method of staffing the ticket table allows the treasurer to enjoy the dance. Documentation of ticket sales procedures needs to be prepared – and paper copies printed -- for use by the volunteers.
a. Treasurer Marv Greeninger will be stepping down from his role on July 1. There is currently no one who has stepped up to fill the role of treasurer for the 2019-2020 season. Duties of the treasurer include collecting club and Federation dues, managing ticket sales, maintaining the books, taking money to the bank, preparing and paying state and federal taxes, etc.
b. President Jerry Elfert began the voting process for club officers.
c. Vice President Jerry Steinworth succeeds to the office of president as described in the club by-laws.
d. There is currently no volunteer to fill the role of vice president for the 2019-2020 season.
e. Terri Axelson has offered to again serve as club secretary. Since there were no other nominations from the floor, Terri Axelson will continue to serve as secretary.
f. As mentioned previously, no one has offered to fill the role of treasurer. Therese Cathers has volunteered to be the vice treasurer.
g. After June 30th, the allowed signatures on the checking account need to be revised. Remove the following: Lois Johnson (resigned position) and Marv Greeninger (end of term). Add the following: Jerome Steinworth (incoming president).
2. Summer Dances -- The original purpose of summer dances was to encourage students to remain active in square dancing. The question was asked whether we should have summer dances this summer, although time to plan and market the dance(s) is short. Cathy Gates and John Bittner volunteered to talk with Wayne Tauer to discuss summer dances. They will report their recommendation to the Executive Board.
3. Hotfoot Stompers’ 40th Anniversary is September, 2019. A committee made up of Connie Winterfeld, Jerry Steinworth, and Les Marier, will meet and discuss whether to plan an event. They will report their recommendation to the Executive Board.
4. Former Hotfoot queens Connie Winterfeld, Michelle Jensen, and Rose Valentine will be chairing the 2021 Queens’ Luncheon.
5. There was discussion whether to raise dance ticket prices to $7. A motion to raise dance ticket prices to $7 was made, seconded, and carried.
6. Gary Kemmetmueller wanted to acknowledge and thank Marv Greeninger for Marv’s work as the club’s treasurer, a role that involves a lot of responsibility. In turn, Marv Greeninger wanted to acknowledge and thank Cathy Gates for the assistance she has provided. Members showed their appreciation to Marv and Cathy by applause.
Meeting adjourned at 7:59pm
Respectfully submitted,
Terri Axelson

- Bo Diamon, a member of the 2019 Mystery Bus Trip (MBT) committee, provided details about the 2019 MBT plan:
- Saturday, March 30; bus departs 8:30am and returns 6:30pm
- Cost is $25 per person which generates $1,250
- Expenses include:
- Location, caller, bus -- $1,580
- Food for 50 people @ $9.50 each -- $475
- President Jerry Elfert recommended a revision to the club’s by-laws. Specifically, the by-laws need to include a timely process for selecting a Vice Treasurer mid-year. Jerry recommended that a committee also review and revise other by-laws. Nancy Knoth commented that during the review process, the committee should keep in mind Federation by-laws.
- The Federation is asking member clubs that want to be part of the Federation’s 501(c)3 group exemption umbrella application to get a new EIN* number; a new EIN number will make the process cleaner and easier. Michelle Jenson, Federation President, outlined the steps involved:
- The Federation will send an electronic document to leadership in member clubs; the document will explain the process for inclusion in the Federation’s 501(c)3 group exemption umbrella application. Inside the document will be a link to the IRS site that issues EIN numbers.
- Club leadership will click the embedded link and complete the application to receive a new EIN number from the IRS.
- By early March, 2019, leadership in each member club will submit their request to be part of the group Ruling of 501(c)3 Umbrella Application and provide their new EIN number to the Federation.
- The Federation will then file the 501(c)3 umbrella form for member clubs.
- The Federation can add member clubs to this umbrella at any time; it is preferred to get as many clubs as possible included in this first submission.
- President Jerry Elfert opened discussion about the club’s sales tax exemption status. Sales tax exemption applies to purchases made by the organization. Tickets sold by the organization will continue to be charged sales tax and be reimbursed to the state. We are acting as an agent for the state of Minnesota when we collect sales tax on our dance tickets. Minnesota tax form ST16 lists requirements organizations must meet to be eligible for sales tax exemption; there was discussion about whether the club qualifies. Before a decision can be made, further discussion about the club’s sales tax exemption status is needed.
- President Jerry Elfert announced that volunteers are needed to audit the club’s 2018 financial records.
- Nancy Knoth asked everyone to spread the word about the 10.10.2020 Hotfoot dance. The Siegmann Brothers will be calling, and the hope is that by letting dancers know well in advance, attendance at the dance will be high.
