Rotary Board Meeting January 10, 2018
Present: Bob, Phil, Chris, John
This is not a quorum no votes were taken.
- Treasurer’s report: Club account balance is $19,389.97; Foundation account balance is $13,703.74. John will send out follow up notices to those with past due amounts.
- Election of a presidential nominee is needed. The other officers have all said they will continue. We need a Pres-Nominee. Does anyone want to? It is for the 2019-20 year.
- A report is due January 25 if the club is interested in hosting an exchange student. We haven’t done that in several years but it is a worthwhile program. Does any club member want to take this responsibility on? Please contact a board member.
- The board discussed our scholarship program. The past several years we have given $2000 to students at Kuemper, Public and DMACC. The board does not think we are getting the ‘bang for our buck’. We are leaning toward awarding a $1000 scholarship to each of our RYLA students. (We have two graduating this spring). Let the board know what you think, when we have a quorum we will decide.
- RYLA was discussed. We did not have a student last year and the deadline for paying for a student is in April, we need someone to head this program. The cost is $450/student and it is a very worthwhile program. Contact a board member if you are interested.
- A poker tournament/NCAA tourney event was discussed. We will have a Super Bowl sheet, the cost per square is $20, winnings of $100/quarter. Please bring your money next Monday.
Phil Phillips, Secretary
