MINUTES OF THE SUNRISE ROTARY BOARD MEETING

MAY 14, 2003

Meeting was called to order by Sara Urdahl at 7:00 a.m. at the Wild Huckleberry.

Sara distributed agenda and asked for additions.

Minutes were distributed and approved as presented.

Treasurers report: Was discussed and accepted. Kevin reported that the corrected amount we were over budget for the Russian Delegation was $251.00.

Newsletter: Jim Adamson has agreed to take it on for next year. Sara will Email a small one until that time.

Breakfast changes: We will talk about the responses at the Board Retreat.

Bryan gave an attendance report: A complete attendance report for the year doesn't look too good. Bryan will compose letters to be sent do missing members. Suggestion: having a separate table and make up slips with a box in which to put them. It would be an easier way to report make-ups. It was mentioned that there is a definite correlation between missing people and dues in arrears. Letters will be sent in three stages

Bill McDowell and Jim Adamson present three new members and they were approved.

Jim suggested wallet sized cards for new member list.

Milt announced the coming Board Retreat.

Suggestions:

Jim had some suggestions:

Rotary license plates for new members.

Pot draw- make it more interesting. Ie: drawing for rotary conference registration money. One for new member and one for someone who has not yet gone to a Conference.

Make ups - each meeting ask whose made up and where - points of interest.

Milt added - to recognize visitors, where they are from, etc.

International Service:

Bolivia - projects, new avenues to explore. Will be explored.

Rod - Rotary Park - concerned about the expense of designs from the students, way over the top for our budget. It will be a multi-million dollar project. Concerned that it is a 'deal killer'. The environmental issues will be very expensive. We need to research a better plan.

Meeting was adjourned.
