Board Members—Bill G., George R..

 

Business:

 

Al S. suggested that the board should make a decision on changing Barry Weinberg’s type of membership in light of his extended illness.  After some discussion, it was moved, seconded and passed that the board grant Barry a “leave of absence”.  As such Barry’s name will be removed from RI and District rolls as of July 1, 2010 and he will owe no dues.  Barry can easily be reinstated on both rolls when he is able to return.  Several members volunteered to see that Barry receives a copy of  the “Rotarian.”

 

The board discussed our maintaining a 100% PHF and $100 per year per member sustained giving to RF or Polio Plus.  We are confused on just what our obligations are.  In particular, does the District expect us to award a PHF, by June 30, to someone who has been a member only a few months.  Also the definition of sustained giving is not clear.  Ken S. said he will discuss a clarification of these two subjects with District Governor Patterson.

 

President Ken announced that the Holiday Party will be Tuesday Dec. 7, 2010, at the Alamance Country Club.  Roy H. will work toward setting up the menu.  Our program will be a former Miss Burlington.

 

The District 7690 football outing will be at Wake Forest against Boston College on 6th of November.  Tickets are $45 which includes a meal.  See Allison for tickets.

 

Bob A. is working toward a fundraiser Monday November 15 with Harusaki on University Drive.  The event would be similar to the fundraiser last year but would last all day and would be open to all comers.  Rotary would give advertisement and receive a percentage of receipts. 

 

Next board meeting will be Nov. 8, 2010.
