Meeting Opened at 7:04pm
Opened with the Serenity Prayer and AA Traditions One and Two. Our mission is to manage the property, finances and 501C3 for the RBA.
1. Members Present: Joe R., Roger B., Bill M., Cherisse K., Jeff S., Norton L., Chaz, Steve P., Jerry F.
2. Building & Maintenance Report (Jerry Z.): Jerry was unable to attend the meeting, so no maintenance updates were provided.
3. Financial Report: The financials from September were approved unanimously. No extraordinary expenses were incurred during the month and income was in line with expectations. A summary was provided of the total revenues and expenses from the Annual Picnic; RBA brought in more than enough donations to cover the food and prizes for this event thanks to the generosity of members.
4. Old Business: The minutes from the September Board Meeting were reviewed and approved. Numerous topics were carried over to the current month’s meeting, and they will be discussed in the New Business section below.
5. New Business: The President welcomed newly elected board members and provided a summary of board functions. The Secretary requested contact information for the new board and will ensure this is posted in the glass case for members to access. Each of the outgoing officers discussed the duties they have been responsible for, which will assist the new board members in selecting a President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer during the November board meeting. The President suggested updating board member term limits to three years, with three board seats to be elected during each annual meeting. This was tabled for future meetings.
Snow removal was discussed. Our regular vendor is not offering services this year, so the board must find a new company to plow and salt our lot. Two bids have been obtained and one more is expected. The board is hoping to engage the same provider as our neighbor if the cost of doing so is reasonable.
Fellowship events were discussed. The Fellowship Committee requested approval to purchase a karaoke machine for the club, and this was approved. The costs of this machine should be recovered through donations from attendees of the upcoming Halloween Party. This event is scheduled for Friday, October 28th at 7:00pm. Squad 6G has been planning the Thanksgiving Dinner, which is scheduled to take place o ovember 20th at 1:00pm. The Children’s Christmas Party was also discussed, and more information will be available in the future.
The meeting adjourned at 7:57pm with The Lord’s Prayer.
