BDMCC General Meeting Minutes

The meeting started at 7:08 p.m. with a communication from the Wisconsin Wetland Association.

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

The Treasurer’s report money amounts were noted.  Deposits were made from the fun run raffle and from memberships.  Expenses included the gas card for the fun run raffle and the report was approved by unanimous consent. 

The floor was then opened for board of director nominations.  Alexis nominated Bruce and he accepted and it was seconded by Russ.  Pat nominated Alexis and she declined.  Sharon was nominated by Don and she declined.  Don nominated Randy Pointon and he declined.  Pete nominated Joe and it was accepted and seconded by Don.  The floor was then closed for nominations. 

All work was completed by the Wisconsin DOT for the islands in which 4900 plants were planted and the Dot is to monitor the islands for 5 years.  An article was in the Sunday’s Post Crescent of the work done on the islands. 

Discussion then began for the fun run and its future.  If bars do not sell tickets they could be dropped from the raffle, the amount of bars is too many and too expensive for some.  It is a lot of work for little profit.  More input included taking a year off, doing a general raffle and still the picnic at the end, doing bigger items such as a boat or ATV, and perhaps to have the host bars sponsor the item to help cover the costs. 

Pat noted that he might have a contact for a new boat for the club and is going to see if the pontoons were the needed 22 or 24’. 

The next meeting is at Critter’s on Monday November 7^th at 7 p.m. 

The meeting was called for adjournment first by Pete E. and second by Pete G. at 7:41 p.m.

Minutes submitted by Alexis Wilson, Secretary.
