TREASURER’S REPORT (Don)

  1. A few notes:
    1. Don said we are “pretty much” on budget at this time.  We are a little under on income, which is typical for us.  Bottom line- we lost less money than we expected to lose.
    2. Item 3100 Annual Dues- “We made a little more than we budgeted, but not much.”
    3. Profit and loss by event – In February, we lost $2,865 on David Solem (attendance was 50 at the lecture and 26 for the workshop).
    4. Rebalanced Vanguard to have equal amount in Bonds and Stocks.
    5. Balance is $3,689.57 in the checking account.
  2. Newsletter – Don confirmed he gets paid $400 per newsletter.  Board approved.
  3. Don shared that QuickBooks went up on their fees (~$600/year) for the online version.  Jennifer suggested Zoho, but Don said that Zoho has bad reviews.  We decided to keep QuickBooks.
  4. Treasurer’s report was approved.

FRONT DESK REGISTRATION (Jennifer & Peggy)

  1. Jennifer said the bookmarks have been helpful in selling memberships.  It was that we want 200 more printed for the front desk for the rest of the year.  Don said it is not difficult to print more.
  2. Peggy said one lady said she had registered online, but she was not on the list.  Don said the woman told she had mailed the check in April.  Both Don and Bill confirmed that they never received the check.  Z said she would call the lady to convey this information.

Because of a limit on time, we skipped Media/Social Media/ Facebook, Membership Data Base, Newsletter/Web, and Hospitality.  We went onto New Business.

NEW BUSINESS

  1. With Lazo having retired, we can pick up some duties and have the cost be reduced.  Deborah said we pay by the hour for the facility then an additional $100 for A/V.  The first hour for Dunlap Hall is $75.  Each additional hour is $35.  We have a discount for the projector and microphone ($100 total).  Right now, we are paying $350 for each Saturday night.  It’s $500 for a workshop.  If we do our own set up (tables, chairs, and coffee), we could save $70.  The Board agreed to keep paying the $350 to have the church do the set up.
  2. Deborah will ask the church what supplies they have for coffee and if we can have a larger container for hot water.
  3. The Nominating Committee fulfills the roles of President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer.  Z will present the committee in September at the meeting.  They are voted on in November.  Cathy volunteered to stay on.  Deb and Jennifer agreed to join.
