Amanda asked Doug from the Inn to speak about the lunch options after this current Rotary year. Doug stated that due to the high cost of food and inability to make profit from the meetings, he has to propose two options: 1. A flat rate of $150 with no food, just meeting space. 2. Cost of lunch would go up to $25 with a minimum of 17 lunch orders. If the 17 lunch orders are not met, the Club would pay the difference. We currently average 12 members who eat weekly, down from the average of 15.
Amanda distributed monetary donations that were collected during the Holiday Party to the following: Aspinock Historical Society, IHSP and Rotaract. Amanda thanked everyone who gave towards this.
