SUNRISE ROTARY BOARD MINUTES

July 10, 2002

Julie opened the meeting at 7:00 a.m. at the Wild Huckleberry.

Discussion began concerning the budget.

Julie and Kevin discussed the discrepancy on the count for meals, as there is a problem in our billing. Kevin will get together with Red Lion. There was a discrepancy in count for the Changeover dinner. Members will be billed if they didn't show, or retract their reservation.

Polio project was discussed. Budget now says we will budget/raise $4500 of the requested $9000. (May be raised by cruise and donations - however cruise may be a district wide project, this will be settled) It was decided to request and raise the full $9000. Question was raised by Milt - Who will front the deposit? If we are required to do that it should be our project.

Bike Ride -Budget suggestion by Sara - that we average past five years income, and adjust by 10%, and correct the proposed budget to reflect that amount. Need more information. Julie will meet with bike ride committee. Was suggested we leave the expenses portion of the budget the same as last year.

Julie reported we've had several requests for funds including "Make a Difference Day", Challenge Day for the High school, and a Soccer team. Since several of our members sponsor soccer teams, we will not do it this year.

We wish to keep the "Our Class" project. It was suggested we allow $500 in the budget for that.

We will also focus on sponsoring a "Challenge Day". Will have someone come back and talk to us about exactly what would be involved. Possibly sponsor one of our members for training. May be able to get a Paul Harris Grant for this.

The need for discretionary money was discussed, to be used for special needs.

Several Rotary International 'items' were brought up by Julie.

1. Recognition Citation application for member for exceptional service. 2. Award for recognition of a non-member citizen who has contributed to world peace and understanding.

Julie will put these out on the tables at the next meeting, and explain, allowing members to "nominate" someone for these recognitions.

R.I. sent information on a motivational speaker, Jerry Traylor, whom we might use to raise Polio funds. (Fund raising dinner?)

Julie will talk to Willard about the Roster.

There will be an August "all-club" Barbecue for the district governor in August. Mall Boyd is in charge of that, date to be announced. District Governor will meet with us August 13, and we will have a dinner for the board and Governor, Aug. 12.

Julie reported she will have each Director explain each Avenue of Service, and club, at the next several meetings, one avenue per meeting.

Kevin will check to make sure he re-imbursed Dave the Computer expense following the Bike Ride. ($200).

Newsletter was discussed. The Board expressed deep appreciation to Sara for the great job she has done. Julie will talk with Al, and find someone to do this. We will include our board minutes in the Newsletter.

Meeting was adjourned at 8:10.

Respectfully submitted,
