| PRESIDENT'S
REPORT: Mike
distributed the budget that was developed at the Budget
Planning Meeting. The Budget consists of the Sponsorship
Account and General Account. Each year it is budgeted to take
20% of the gross profits from the Sponsorship Account as a
cushion for the General Account. This had been used to defray
the costs of socials, etc., giving back to the members that
have given so much. This year, it was not budgeted to take the
20% and instead earmark it for the Hopper fund. Gary motioned
the 20% not to be taken out this year, with the stipulation it
could be brought back in the future if needed. Kim seconded
the motion. Motion carried. Within the Sponsorship Account,
$9,170 has been left unbudgeted to allow more room for
unplanned donations. Lori Redmond will present the
recommendations of the Sponsorship Committee later in the
meeting. Jim moved to approve the budget. Gus seconded Motion
carried. |

| SPONSORSHIP/CHARITIES:
Lori Redmond presented the Sertoma Charities Protocol by
which they would distribute funds. All requests go to the
Sponsorship Committee. They are asking for $300 monthly (up to
$300 per request) for a total of $3600 annually to distribute
at their discretion. This would be from the $9,170 that has
not been budgeted. They would research each request and bring
the recommendations back to the Board. The question of funding
United Way agencies when we already support the United Way was
addressed (to avoid double funding). Specific projects from
these agencies may be funded. Mike made a motion to accept the
Charities Protocol with the following changes: 1) Adding
verbiage regarding United Way Agencies and for what reason
they will be funded; 2) Changing the first paragraph to $300
per request as discretionary funds instead of "overturned
by the Board"; and 3) Removal of "Notes" at the
bottom. Gary seconded. Motion carried. Lori will bring the
changed Protocol to the next meeting. |

| OLD
BUSINESS:
Lori, Mark, Mike & Jim will meet to discuss BANCing the
club in Pequot following the Board meeting. We need to contact
the Boy Scouts regarding the $2000 sponsorship as they are now
billing us. They were to receive the funds if the boys
assisted in a particular Pipe & Drape, which they did
not. |

NEW
BUSINESS:
The Serteens meeting was last evening and Brenda updated the
Board on their progress. They are moving ahead and have plenty
of plans for the group. They have members contacting MnDOT
about doing a Ditch Pick, Community Action about volunteerism,
and the Westgate Mall about gift wrap to name a few. They will
be putting their meeting information in the newspaper (1st and
3rd Monday of the month, Room A204 at Brainerd High School,
Mr. Steve Pelkey is the school liaison), and are already in
the school newsletter and on the school PA system. They will
be producing T-shirts with their own logo to create an
identity at the school as other school clubs have done this.
They are researching putting on a dance for the 8th and 9th
graders. They have conducted a few fundraisers Bowl-a-thon,
Cancer Walk, and Car Wash. They are currently cleaning up
their roster and planning an induction ceremony. Most are
Seniors and are aware they need to replace themselves. The
Serteen members are students from Pine River, Pequot, and
other areas as well as Brainerd/Baxter. They are also looking
forward to meeting a Serteen Club from Wisconsin in January at
Camp Confidence and will be finding out more about this group
and the meeting in the future. Brenda plans on attending their
meetings as well as Deb to offer assistance to the Officers in
areas they are not sure of, but they are running the show.
Great Job Serteens!! Keep up the good work!!
Gary motioned to adjourn. Deb seconded. Motion to adjourn
accepted.
