The first club meeting of the new Rotary year was held this week, with Tim Neubert presiding for the first time. Between the bell ringings (to call the meeting to order and then to dismiss club members), the meeting included:
Thanks to the efforts of all board members, Tim was pleased to announce that dues for members of the Rotary Club of Sycamore will remain unchanged (a small increase in dues for satellite club members ($2.50 per quarter) was also announced). Club leadership estimates that our dues income will total $41,937, which is expected all operational expenses, including dues payable to Rotary International and District 6420, meals and facility rental for our lunch meetings, fellowship activities, supplies, and various other "back office" costs.
Tim also announced that monthly committees and standing committees for the year should be sorted out by July 20, but that the August monthly committee has already been identified and begun planning speakers for next month. Tim thanked Jeff Keicher, Steve Kuhn, and Pat Shafer who are serving on the August committee!
