Board Meeting Update:
- 2 Resignations: Rick Hacker and Stephanie Harris
- Friends of Rotary, Corporate Members and 85 rule– Koreen
Koreen asked if there are any thoughts or ideas and to email her with those regarding the Friends and Corporate Members.
Cole suggested that we recognize people who help us in events as Friends of Rotary.
We asked Denny from the Illinois Club what they do and he said,
“If you’re a corporate member they pay their dues for 1 person but they can all come.“
- Ben addressed the club about the budget and he said we are 5K in the green. Ben said based on the budget we approved we are a little bit below what we budgeted for. We are going to take the money from the bank account to make up the difference. Our book balance is over 67K, we have set conservative fundraising goals and expect to exceed those goals.
