Board Report Rory Coit was joined by Steve Augustinack in
presenting the monthly Board Report. The main issues that were
covered included: |
|
|
-
United Way Contribution - The Board has still not
decided how to contribute to the United Way. In the past we have
contributed a lump sum of money to cover those agencies which are
not on “our” list of sponsorships. As Rory and the United Way
Representatives explained, their agency is revising its plan for
distributing funds. Rory and the Board would like input from
members who have an opinion about whether we should designate
where our contribution goes or allow the United Way to decide.
-
Board Minutes and Agendas - Rory explained that
Board Minutes and Agendas will now be available to all members
through the email. The Friday before the Board Meeting, Pam will
forward the minutes for the last meeting along with an agenda for
the meeting to everyone through the email. Rory wanted to make
sure that we understand that the minutes are unofficial and may be
revised at the meeting. He also explained that the Board is
working with a handicap since Jim Potvin resigned and he is again
doing double duty.
-
Sertoma Cares Pilot Project - Steve Augustinack
presented the program which has been approved. Jackie McCall
initiated this idea to help those students in the seventh grade at
Brainerd Schools who have a significant need for eye examinations
or eye care and are unable to afford it. Those students are
identified by the school nurse and Sertoma Cares (Communications
Are Essential in Schools) along with the participating eye care
professionals will provide the necessary exams and glasses at
cost. Questions from the audience centered on programs already in
place and whether we are overstepping them.
-
Budget Items - A basic sponsorship budget for last
year was discussed. It will be published in the next report when
it contains a breakdown of the under $300 contributions. New items
authorized for payment at this meeting included $500 to Nunnik
Fund Raiser.
Thanks Diane Ulmen for taking notes. |

Schedule |
| Remember:
Greeters (Be sure to take care of your duties that include meeting
people at the door and getting the ticket money counted and
divided with half going to Tami to give away and half to Diane for
the social committee's budget). As greeter you have several
duties. You need to arrive about 10 minutes early. It is your job
to greet people, help them find their badges and sell them a
ticket if they wish to participate. The money collected must be
divided by the Greeters equally--half goes to the Current Club
Treasurer and half goes to the Club President along with the
bucket of tickets. Be there by 11:45 and call somebody if you
can't. Call Patty Hartman. |

ballots including Mary Marana, Kevin Goedker, and Randy Hukriede.
