ROTARY CLUB OF NORTH SACRAMENTO
Board of Directors Meeting
Minutes of Meeting, November 18, 2009
Attendance: Nick Doiron, Hal Garfield, Ron Rutherford, Tim Koch, Lynette Andersen, Andy Scruggs, Steve Delikat (recorder)
1. Nick called meeting to order at 1:30 pm.
2. Old Business: Proposal to accept September meeting minutes. Moved to accept by Tim, seconded by Ron, and approved. (No minutes for October since no meeting was held.)
3. Reports: Community Service, International Service, Vocational Service, and Club Service reports were provided to all club members at the Club Assembly as today’s meeting program. Service activities are routine and on track. Members are requested to have active participation in club service activities, as their time and availability permits.
4. New Business: Discussed special recognition for Jerry Winger for celebrating his 50th year in Rotary. The plan is to recognize Jerry at the December 9 Meeting with a plaque/letter (Nick and Steve will research/supply), and celebrate with appropriate dessert (cupcakes or a cake supplied by Lynette or Steve). Members are requested to attend meeting, to show Jerry our great appreciation.
5. Nick asked for a report on who has not yet paid dues? Need to get answer from Treasurer Rod Barbour. Nick will check with Rod, and Nick emphasized need for all members to pay dues ASAP if they have not already to remain active.
6. Ron moved to reduce meal cost to $10 for any new members through June 30, 2010 with the club picking up the additional $9 cost. This is a marketing tool to increase new members. Proposal was seconded by Hal. After discussion, proposal was approved.
7. Dennis Tsuboi suggested that we hold joint club meetings (other clubs invited to co-meet with us to increase the number of members present, especially if we have a special speaker or program). This would help to get our numbers up at meetings, and show good faith to the Doubletree to continue to provide good meals and service. Discussion supported this idea…something we should look into and strive for at future meetings.
8. Meeting adjourned by Nick at 1:56 pm.
