Minutes September 22, 2008
Aside from the executive, only three regular members attended. Discussion suggested the summer break did not keep the first fall meeting foremost in member’s calendars, and a fifth Monday in the month confused those marking the last Monday in the month for club meetings. A suggestion was put forward to have any volunteers still working the ramp call members as a reminder of the next meeting.
The next regular meeting will be October 27, 2008 at 7:30.
Bruce Downs was unable to attend.
Highlights:
Treasurer, Tom Copeland, reported a bank balance of $24,124,80 with outstanding liabilities of $1,700
Kid’s Day fund at $4,504.39 "This significant to facilitate planning in view of current economic situation."
Spring Salmon Derby netted a loss of $4,294.16. "The shortfall was covered by the club’s general funds."
A request was made by Jerry Mitrovich to have a fixed expense forecast up to reopening of the ramp in 2009. This figure will provide a clearer picture of funds available for emergency repairs and potential projects.

The 2009 derby committee is Doug Gauthier, Bruce Miller, Brandon Desantis, Aldo Nava, Tom Copeland, Bill Ball and Jerry Barnett
Doug proposed using the clubhouse for card (social) nights. For now, it was agreed that a fee of $30.00 was to be collected to cover expenses and Doug would oversee bookings. (motion by Tom Copeland, seconded by Paul Groves, passed by majority)
