Board Minutes May 12, 2004 Meeting was called to order by President Milt at 7:00 a.m. at Red Lion. Those present: Leonard Noss, Kevin Love, Rod Higley, Dave Freimuth, JoAnn Rosenthal, Jim Adamson, Carol Stueckle, Milt Herman, and Sara Urdahl President Milt make a plea for help for Saturday’s finishing the room at Bruce Hotel. (has the club lost it’s vision for this project?) Kevin distributed the financial report. It seems for the greater part, that the club is on track regarding the budget for this year. There have been some requests for funds: Lend-a-Hand Project: Native America Northwest Ohme Gardens Mobile Meals requested $500.00 Life Center Northwest – (organ donor program – many of our club members have participated in this program) Fifth grade Space Camp program – requested sponsoring a student at $397.00. It was moved, seconded, and passed to contribute $100.00 to this, and to pass it on to the program committee, we’d like to know more about this Space Camp Program. Leonard has produced a form for application for scholarship funds. He has already received back one application. It was decided the application needs to be extended to more information, then presented to the club. Changeover dinner was discussed. Date for this will probably be June 29th, and will be our regular Tuesday meeting. It was suggested that to keep the cost down for the membership, it be off-set by the breakfast cost, and subsidized from the Fellowship Committee budget. JoAnn reported on the bike ride progress. She proposed that we urge all members to be at the dinner on Friday night, for participation purpose. This meal charge would done as our regular breakfast charge, and be mandatory (so to speak). Jim Adamson proposed a new member—Geoff Brown. It was moved, seconded, and passed to accept this proposal. Kelli Virnig was presented by President Milt. Her acceptance was moved, seconded and passed. These candidates will be approached with the invitation to allow us to post them. This will be done in the Newsletter. Jim proposed a change in the mandatory meal charge. That it be credited back when the member proves a make-up at another club. This was moved, seconded and pass, and will be announced to the club. Jim talked to Stephanie Kunz about the missing of five meetings in succession. Sara looked at the By-laws this weekend. We have become a little lax on some things, and some need updating. It was decided that it is not appropriate for specific dollar amounts to be included in the by-laws, it is a policy making document. Attendance guidelines need to be better utilized. Committee chairs need to report attendance of members at committee meetings. Meeting was adjourned since the president had to go to work early! Discussion continued concerning the by-laws. They will be updated, and expectations be out to members early in the year, so all know what is happening and what is expected. Respectfully submitted, Carol Stueckle, Secretary
