Yakima Club 85th Anniversary – Pat reported that the Past President’s Committee is planning the event on February 10th or February 14th at the Yakima Elks. Additional developments will be available at the next meeting.
MLK Committee Report – Kirsten reported that an additional $50,000 will be needed to cover planned equipment costs. Two sub-committees have been formed to re-define the proposal and to review grants available for application. Equipment purchases will be made from this year’s approved budget.
MS Walk - President’ Project – Pres. Steve thanked the Board for their support of the April 1st Multiple Sclerosis Walk. The event will be a 5.2 mile walk at Sarg Hubbard Park at the Yakima Greenway. He will be asking for volunteer support, not financial, again in the near future.
Unpaid Memberships – Louise reported that 2 senior members are 60 days delinquent in paying their annual dues. Pat moved and Dan seconded to send both members the “delinquency” letter as required by the bylaws. Motion carried.
IDD Hixson Project – Mike reported that our Hixson account balance at International is currently $7,864 and that with an additional contribution of only $136, we would then have $8,000 available for 8 additional awards in the future. Dan moved and Joe seconded to contribute $136 to be paid from the Administrative budget and to pass the hat at club meetings to cover this unbudgeted expense. Motion carried.
Everyday Heroes – Steve E. shared information on this program which honors members and community persons for honorable deeds. Honorees would be invited to lunch, given a certificate and medallion and possibly some press coverage. Dan moved and Pat seconded to rename the Membership Committee to the Membership/Public Relations Committee and to include the Everyday Heroes project costs into this committee’s budget. Motion carried
Blue Jeans Basketball – Pres. Steve presented co-chairpersons Mary Beth’s & Gene’s proposal to schedule the BJ tournament on May 15th. After much discussion by the group, the suggested date decision was tabled with the provision that we look at other scheduling alternatives. It was felt the May 15th week was too close to Camp Roganunda workday and Rock the Gap preparations and the possibility of a fall tournament would bring us into the Bingo season.
Adjournment – With no other business at hand, the meeting was adjourned approx. 1:15 pm
Respectfully submitted,
Louise Tabayoyon, Secretary
