BOARD MEETING

Call to Order: Lion President Harrison at 1:11pm

Members Present: President Harrison, Secretary/Treasurer Stagner, Lion Tamer Hickerson, Tail Twister Danny Dossman, Past President Shaw, Vice President Matthews

Order of Business:

Investment Account

The Board discussed moving the Edward Jones Investment Account – as Gary Knight is no longer a member of the Club.  We currently have two investment accounts: Gunter Financial and Edward Jones.

After discussion, the Board decided to table this; to do some research into other investments.

President Harrison will send a letter to Gary Knight.

STAMPEDE

President Harrison was approached by Jennifer Ryder with High 5 Hot Dogs; she expressed an interest in handling the hot dogs for our annual bike ride – if approved, President Harrison would find a sponsor.

The Board discussed that we usually have plenty of support and volunteers at the ride; consensus was that we should keep the hot dogs “in-house”; and that we would approach High 5 Hot Dogs for our Picnic in the Park vendors.

Budget for Club Projects

President Harrison presented PROJECTED proposed budgets for our four major fundraisers:

  1. Flag Program: Income / $6,000; Expense / $1,000; Net = $5,000
  2. Stampede: Income / $10,000; Expense / $3,000; Net = $7,000
  3. Heritage Park Picnic: Income / TBD; Expense / TBD; Net = $TBD (Lion Dossman volunteers to chair this Committee)
  4. Benefit Cruise: Income / $3,000; Expense / $500; Net = $2,500

(Bi-Annual)

Club Meal Policy

  1. The Board agreed to keep the policy that if a guest joins the Club on their 2nd meeting – there will be no charge to the host member who invited them.
  2. The Board agreed that the cost for lunch for Lion dignitaries visiting the Club would be absorbed by the Club.

Memorial Wall of Honor at Heritage Pavilion

  1. The Board Discussed having individual plaques for each Lion honored – agreeing that it would be more personal and easier to add honorees in the future.
  2. The Board also agreed to move forward with the project now – using funds that we raised already.

Financial Report / Delinquencies
