Old Business

Randy asked Jan if she had any information on Habitat for Humanity…she reported none since last meeting.

Financing is in for the program………

Randy will pass around a signup at next meeting and Ann will talk to Murray regarding getting speakers all a ok’d

 

New Business

People owing the club dues were discussed.  Robert will contact those people and remind them that the club needs that money because we, as a club, have already paid for them and need to be reimbursed.

 

Roberta will be transferring her treasurer duties at the end of our fiscal year to a new treasurer. It was discussed about purchasing software to aid the new treasurer in her task and any subsequent treasurers.   Roberta thought that Rotary International had something for free online that we could use but wasn’t sure.  She will check into this and report back.

 

Roberta said she had received a request from Pleasant Hill after prom committee for a donation for their after prom.   It was discussed that we did it last year and should do it again.  Max motioned and Jan seconded that we do it this year in the amount of $50.00 (same as last year) motion carried.

 

Shirley reported to Randy last week that she is having some difficulty getting four from our PHS Interact Club to RYLA.  Due to the fact that it falls on the same date as prom doesn’t help.  Plus there might be an issue with the school regarding transportation and chaperoning.  Shirley is checking with Ken McClintock (District Interact Chair) and will let Randy know.  Randy got the deadline for our RYLA students extended.

 

Randy made motion seconded by Max that not only the President Elect but his/her successor be sent to PET training. (President Elect Training)  Most clubs do this and Randy as well as Ann thought that it might be beneficial to the club to have the incoming President have two years of training/preparation to get ready for their presidency.

 

 

Meeting adjourned, where upon Max entertained those in attendance with a rousing rendition of Bach’s 3^rd Symphony using 4 mason jars, two spoons, and a barrowed  kazoo.  Impressive.  (BTW…you can keep the kazoo Max…I don’t want it back…)
