BDMCC General Meeting Minutes

October 2009

 

The Secretary’s report was read and accepted as such.

The Treasurer’s report was read and accepted as read.

The welcome and thank you sign criteria was brought up with the base idea if anyone gave $5,000 in a single calendar that they will be placed on the sign.  After discussion and consideration the board of directors will finalize the guidelines.

A new member was introduced and welcome to the club.

A title commitment from Lowell was needed for the DNR grant to be officially given to the club.  His attorney is to take care of the matter.  Pat Hickey talked to his credit union to see what was all needed for a loan, given that we do not have the needed money in time for the land acquisition to go through.  The board will handle the details. 

Tom had the numbers as to which bars sold what amounts of books and tickets.  This data can be reviewed for the club to decide how to make improvements for next year.  The deposited amounts and bills were received by Bruce and official numbers as to how the picnic turned out for the club will be ready soon.   Tom also raised money the previous day which was donated to the needed amount for the land acquisition.  The notion was made to have a small group to take hold of the raffle for next year to improve things and to get them rolling already as it will be going on the same time as the annual dinner.  A thank you will be going out to the Pheasant’s Forever for their donation. 

Sharon said the boy scouts needed more projects and cutting down the buckthorn was given as a suggestion. 

Tom needs written communications of use of the property for tax exempt status so if anyone was those please get them to Tom.  Also Tom said that Albright is going to install the welcome/thank you sign free of charge.  Gift certificates were available for those who worked the annual dinner.

Roger said that his work will not allow him to make the board meetings and wanted to know what the club wanted to do about his position.  His remaining two year term will be elected at the official elections coming up shortly.

The meeting was called to an end first by Ken and seconded by Pete at 7:16p.m.
