Board Minutes for
The
meeting was called to order by Bill Ringbom, President, at
Minutes of the
Treasurer’s Report:
Net income for October was $52.48.
The bank balance at the end of October was $2,026.33, including an
additional Bridgemate donation of $60.
(Another $125 donation was received this week.) The table count for October was 110. We received a thank you letter from Hospice
for the donation in memory of Torre’s mother.
Club Manager’s Report: (1) We
will use an enhanced club championship for the December 3 party game. (2)
Even though we now have Bridgemate it is sometimes hard for the Director
to play. The Director should play only
when necessary to complete a table and whether or not to fill in is the
Director’s option. (3) Some members
would prefer not to have the “traveling scores” on the Bridgemate because they
feel it slows the game. (As Board
members were divided on the matter, the discussion was tabled until a future
meeting.) (4) The team game during Janice
Vivrette week went well but it was recognized that whoever wins the team game will
win the “trophy.” Barbara suggests that
future team games not be part of the Janice Vivrette week. Barbara Hardin was paid for directing plus
caddying the team game. She also did
the partnering. (5) Marion Middleton
will again provide pizza for the last Friday in December.
Old Business: The Christmas party will be December 3. It was agreed to charge $7.00 to play, with
lunch included. Barbara reported that
Something Cooking caterers could provide a menu to include ham, scalloped
potatoes, and bread for $700. Mary
reported that three entries, 2 salads and bread could be provided by Mama’s
Meatballs for $615. A motion was
approved to order the food from Mama’s Meatballs. Bill will get desserts (3 cheesecakes, 1 pumpkin pie and 1 apple
pie) from Costco. Mary will donate placemats and Barbara has
the plates and napkins. We won’t
decorate. Jean Wilson will buy drinks
and Barbara will bring serving utensils.
Lunch will be at
New Business: (1) The Unit is using our Bridgemate for Unit games. It was decided we would discuss battery
costs at the time they are needed. (2) After
Barbara was excused from the meeting, there was discussion about year-end
bonuses. A motion was approved to pay
Mike and Barbara $150 each and Fred $100.
