Board Meeting Minutes
June 2, 2005
Email President Light Meeting called to order, by President Mel Light at 12:12 pm.
Board members in attendance: Christine Cote, Russ Dix, Mel Light, Steve Pickett, Joe Kennish, Pat Danielson, Cherie Ergeson, Kirsten Stoffer and Mike Wilson (acting secretary).
Guests attending: John Benson, Russ Roberts, Gary Chalfant, (Roberts and Chalfant are new club members)
Minutes approved - Kennish moved and Picket seconded the approval of the May 5, 2005 Board minutes, as presented on the web site. Motion passed unanimously.
OLD BUSINESS: Discussion on the current status of the roster; Stoffer is going to contact Jack Gilbert.
KEY CLUB– Pickett contacted the Davis advisor for particulars regarding his position and the importance of being a Kiwanian. Wilson presents that sponsoring a Key Club is more than $600 plus accessories. It requires a long-term club commitment; including our S.O.A.P. committee to start, nurture and perpetuate a new club. Also, should we decide against sponsoring a Key Club it would be appropriate to budget money toward the PNW Youth Outreach Program and support our existing District Key Clubs. This program has been ongoing for many years; however, we have not recently participated.
NEW BUSINESS: Motion by Dix, second by Danielson to have the secretary send the appropriate letter to one past due member; passed unanimously.
After discussion to send the monthly report to all Board members, motion by Kennish, seconded Danielson to email the monthly report to all officers, Board members and requesting club members. Passed unanimously.
A letter passed around from Leslie Benoit, the American Lung Associations, regarding our $250 donation.
Request for money from Maureen Mould and her clown presentation. She is going to request funding of the Yakima Kiwanis Trust. Danielson notes that the trust is restricted by a donation parameter (IRS 501 c 3).
President Elect Picket requests business cards to put together for a prospective new member packet as representation of our club’s diversity within the media community.
Stoffer notes the International Convention scheduled for Rome in 2006 has been re-located to Montreal.
Bingomiester Cote updates that printing of our Bingo instructions in Spanish is in the process and that a request for a bilingual Bingo caller both Sundays of the fair is a strong consideration. The disposable income in our community is approximately 42% Hispanic and the Fair focuses Sundays at the Hispanic population.
John Warren updates on the golf committee that the $150 budget item is available for use.
Benson reports that the swim meet is scheduled for Lion’s Pool and Blount will be handling the breakfast on Saturday and Sunday mornings. Timers needed for the Friday evening and a sign-up sheet will be passed.
Fair Bingo as previously submitted and approved within the budget doesn’t require secondary approval.
ADJOURNMENT: With no other business to discuss the meeting was adjourned at 12:48 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Dr. Mike Wilson
Acting Secretary
