      *Special Committees

Budget Committee:  The Budget Committee will meet at Wilcox Law Firm on Wednesday, October 12^th at 5:00 pm.  Anyone interested can attend.

 *Other business

 There was discussion regarding the transition of the treasurer’s position from Vern to Lisa Jaskey.  A motion was made by Linda Spearman and seconded by Tim Buenz to add Sherry Palmer, Pat Miller and Bob Allen to the signature card for our Kiwanis accounts.  The motion carried. 

 Installation of Officer’s will take place at our regular Wednesday meeting on October 5^th. 

 Tim Christensen asked the board if they would be interested in covering the costs of having a projector installed at the Uptown Café if the school donates a used projector.  After some discussion a motion was made by Amy Milligan and seconded by Linda Spearman to cover those costs up to $500.  This will alleviate having to bring the cart out from the back room and Tim Buenz will not have to bring equipment to each meeting for Kiwanis use.  The motion carried. 

 Table Talk sent a request for Kiwanis to be a continued sponsor of that event.  A motion was made by Vern to continue our sponsorship of the ‘Gold Star’ level.  Verle seconded the motion and it carried. 

 A pop can redemption schedule will be implemented at the beginning of the Kiwanis year.  It will likely go according the program/greeter schedule.  You will be responsible for finding a replacement if you cannot work your week.  This is a big commitment, but it is also biggest fundraiser. 

 Dennis Goshon asked the Board if they would be interested in donating to the mission work that Denny Merritt spoke about at our Kiwanis meeting on August 24^th.  These funds will go to the children of Tajikistan to help improve their facilities.  A motion was made by Sherry Palmer and seconded by Linda Spearman to donate $200 to this cause.  The motion carried.

 The meeting adjourned at 7:35 a.m.
