Board Minutes for July 8, 2011

 

 

The meeting was called to order by Bill Ringbom, President, at 4:10 p.m.  Board Members Sonia Arsene, Mary Neal,  Judy Obermeier, Bill Ringbom, Dolores Soll, and Jean Wilson were present, as well as Barbara Weiss, Manager.  Gene Edgerton was absent.

 

Minutes of the June 3, 2011 meeting were reviewed and approved.

 

Treasurer’s Report: June income exceeded expenditures by $164.80.  The table count was 112 and ½. including the STAC and NAP games which engendered additional table fee costs.  Donations for the shuffling machine were $105.  The bank balance at the end of June was $3,144.95 (including a total of $218.27 donated funds).

 

Club Manager’s Report:  Barbara indicated there was nothing new to report, that we are not losing money on sodas, and that she has ten to twelve people for lessons each Monday.  Barbara will verify the date of our Christmas party and send the information to the Board.  It will probably be December 9.

 

Old Business:   Bill has purchased the software for the shuffling/dealing machine and in practicing with it, has found that it works well.  It is possible to program all the deals for the month of games.   Bill also reported on the Unit Board meeting held earlier in the day:  (1) The Unit Board wants to contribute an amount to be determined to the purchase of the shuffling machine.  The Unit has asked if we would prepare boards for other clubs if they bought their own boards.  We agreed we would be open to doing so after we had an opportunity to become accustomed to doing our own and could work out a plan for doing boards of other clubs.  (2)  The Unit will match up to $400 of capital expense for each club.  (3) Gary Yant plans to step down when his term as president ends this year.  (4) The Unit Board has approved a director training fund to pay $400 for anyone who goes to regional training, passes, and gets a certificate.

 

New Business:   The election of Board members is coming up in September.  Dolores will check last year’s records to verify whose terms elapse.  Bill will check members to see who might be interested in serving.

 

The meeting was adjourned at 4:51 p.m.  The next meeting will be after the game on Friday, August 5.

Respectfully submitted,

Dolores Soll, Secretary
