Income for the month was $2,089 with income exceeding expenditures by $469.40. There were 101 tables during June.)

Old Business: (1) Bill reported that we are still paying the Senior Center $1.00 a table and he has not been contacted by the city or the Center for another meeting. (2) Our annual meeting will be September 24 at 12:15 – pizza day- at which time we will elect new board members. The terms of Gene, Bud, and Dolores are expiring. Gene would be available if necessary but would prefer to leave. Bud is unable to continue due to work obligations. Dolores agreed to stay on if elected. Gina Kirk has indicated a desire to be on the Board and Sonia Arsene has agreed to serve. Additional nominations will be accepted from the floor at the annual meeting.

Club Manager’s Report: (1) We have earned an enhanced game (i.e. more points) that we can use for the annual meeting. (2) We have hot dogs, beans, and buns left from the Swiss Team day game.

Barbara Hardin and Torre Houlgate are available to sub, as needed. As Floyd is presently incapacitated from his injury, Bill will talk with him regarding future plans.

(5) Regarding the Zero tolerance policy, we need to try to get people to call the Director when there is a problem.

New Business: (1) Gary Yant and Dolores Soll were Ann Dyer week winners. The Board decided to give mugs for both Ann Dyer and Janice Vivrette winners. Mary will order them.

Respectfully submitted,

Dolores Soll, Secretary
