Minutes 2008 Fall Meeting Held in Sutherlin October 4, 2008 Dee Hamer, President, presiding
Dee Hamer opened the business meeting at 10 AM.
TREASURER’S REPORT
Shirley Mahan presented the 2008 treasurer report. The account balance as of 9/30/2008 was $2174.64. Total membership as of 9/30/2008 is 108.
OLD BUSINESS
Dee expressed her appreciation for members who served as rally hosts or committee chairman during her two year tenure: Peggy Hibner, Dottie Allen, Diane Benton, Candy Wood, Char Norby, Sandy Brown, Masanee Brown, Danna Walker, Marilyn Nichols, Ruby Rhodes, Barb Pace, Tamara Swerdlik, Pat Cole, Alice Lovell, Jackie Gettman, Peg Ralston, Nancy Rockwell, Carrie Hammons, Cynthia Moore, Shirley Mahan, Gina Masciantonio, Linda Waterman, Tully Strong, Dixie Evers, Joyce Pickens, and Becky Beckey.
Dee emphasized the importance of registration/canceling procedures so rally hosts can accurately plan for the correct number of participants. The key is informing the secretary by e-mail or phone of reservations directly with the park, last minute reservations, cancellations, and plans to attend activities but not be staying at the park. The secretary can then keep the hosts updated.
Availability of chapter brochures was announced with a request to make careful use of them as they cost a dollar apiece.
Shirley brought up the need for member feedback regarding the budget for rally breakfasts. Most rally hosts exceeded the $50 reimbursement provided by the Chapter, but there was also a lot of food leftover after the rallies.
