Jody was called about once again, to lead us in the National Anthem.

 

Peter provided the invocation.

As the end of our Ham and Cake/Cookie fundraiser drew to a close, there was some necessary shuttling between tables to clarify who sold what, what was left, who needs cookies, who took my ham ... where's the beef. You get the idea.

Ken was 3 bucks happier today.

 

Either no one had a toonie or no one was happy, except Ken.

We are all sold out of hams, cakes and cookies!! Earliest on record.

 

Laureen announced that nominations for the Board of Directors are now open. If you are interested in serving on the board, please contact Laureen. 

There was no "guest speaker" today, but Dave Thomas presented part 2 of the Budget.

 

Dave has copies of the budget which lays out the amounts available to the various committees.

 

Foundation contributions were discussed as follows: the club will continue to make a contribution to Foundation which will be an amount equal to $100 USD X total membership.

 

All members are encouraged to make a personal contribution of $100 USD as well. This amount will automatically be added on to your annual club invoice and you must contact Dave if you want to opt out of this (which is tax deductible).

 

The annual membership dues will remain at $325. (Please note you will be invoiced for $325 + $100USD).

 

We had a discussion about tranferring monies from our Service Account (fund raising dollars) to our General Account (operating fund) to help offset operating costs. It was noted that we have done this in the past and on occasion have had surpluses in the general account. We have then used these surplus funds for various service projects.

 

Motion: Gerry made a motion to transfer 15% of fundraising monies from the service account to the general account. Laureen seconded the motion. The motion was passed.

 

The meeting was adjourned.
