Lana, Mary and Lydia have been working on a financial review in order to create an operating budget for the coming year. It is going well and PE Grant will be brought into discussions when we think it’s presentable.
Also in the works (thanks to Madhu) is using Zoom, a simple on-line meeting tool. A test run, led by Mary happened on Sunday for the board members who were available. It went well and the system is very simple to use. Committees should be able to meet this way too. Committee Chairs, check it out. Zoom is free to download and free for meetings of up to 40 minutes. www.zoom.us to get started. There is a free tutorial. Rotary has a special price if you want to get an account for longer meetings.
Dianna has updated our stats in Clubrunner and RI at the District’s request and we are in good shape.
The only fly in that ointment is our volunteer hours. Our numbers from Last year and the ones from this year are so dramatically different that it has caught the eye of our ADG and District Governor.
Lydia, when she was doing hours, spent much time harassing people to give her their hours. Joy is being gracious and relying on people to report voluntarily. Several key people (are you listening, board members, Committee chairs and worker bees?) have clearly not presented their hours. The guilty parties may have to reconstruct for the whole year. Please do so and report to Joy immediatement.
President-Elect Grant and President Lydia are in regular communication and are meeting soon to discuss his year which begins in July. Stay tuned for developments.
