The motion carried. The expected total for registration fees will be less than $200 for this year.
Treasurer Rita reported on the check book balance and reported that the Clubs annual payment of our donation to Rotary International Foundation. For tax purposes, each member will receive a letter from Rotary Foundation acknowledging the deductible donation of $50
NOTE: There might be a little confusion at the Head Table this Thursday as Ron experiments with use of the head table for seating the speaker and speaker host. Having a designated seating for the speaker, will avoid the use of chairs customary "preferred" by the members and will honor the speaker with a reserved place at the head table. It will take an extra table to allow room for the Presiding Officer, the Speaker and speaker host. The speaker will be allowed to "mix" with our members prior to breakfast and have a reserved place to go to.
