Board Minutes for
The
meeting was called to order by Bill Ringbom, President, at
Minutes of the
Treasurer’s Report:
Bank balances were reported for the end of February ($2,345.75), the
end of March ($2,874.87) and the end of April ($2,587.67). The April balance will be verified when the
actual bank statement is received. In
April income exceeded expenditures by $337.44.
Form 990 for non-profit status was filed by Mary and accepted by the
IRS. Apparently the IRS will now allow
up to $50,000 income for a non-profit.
Mary also completed the California Statement of Information Filing for
the years 2011 and 2012 and paid the required $20 filing fee.
Club Manager’s Report:
(1) Barbara reported some Zero
Tolerance problems and announced there would be no more free plays for players
filling in to make up a full table.
(2) Barbara suggested we should
possibly ask for a larger share of Unit games based on the SLO Club serving
more players by having more regular games.
Old Business: Torre has discontinued giving lessons before
the Wednesday game.
New Business: Bill suggested that a shuffling/dealing machine should be our
club’s next major purchase. The machine
he has researched would use regular cards and would provide hand records. The cost would be $4,400 plus new boards
costing approximately $80. Mary
estimated that at present the Club has approximately $1500 available for this
purpose. It was decided to start a fund
to give members the opportunity to make donations for the purchase of the
machine. Bill will announce the establishment
of the fund at the game on Monday and a donations jar will be available at each
game. Bill will also make a chart
showing progress toward the raising of the requisite amount.
