The club’s board of directors met on Thursday, February 15, 2024 on the Zoom platform. Highlights included holding a special, virtual meeting of the club for rummage sale planning during the first half an hour of the meeting, and reports from various officers and committee chairs.The treasurer updated directors on the progress of investing in short-term certificates of deposit at Banner Bank, noting the first CD purchased will mature, and stimulated discussion on whether to reinvest. The consensus was that adequate liquidity is maintained across accounts and the CD may be reinvested for a similar term. Directors also engaged in extended discussion regarding the need for separate operating, charitable, rummage sale, and savings accounts, and the consensus was to keep the four accounts for security and accountability. The directors also discussed the history of the legacy fund, its sources, and purpose of the balance in what is now the savings account and CD’s.
Directors reviewed the status of various prospective members, and agreed to remove non-responding candidates from further consideration. The chair will contact all of the newer prospects again to determine whether to retain them in the membership process, and the board voted to recommend one prospective member to the membership for approval.
The club meeting schedule for 2024-2025 was discussed, and postponed to the next meeting in favor of considering adding in-person meetings in January and February, and changing the in-person and virtual meeting sequence in some months. The board approved its meeting schedule for 2024-2025 and will continue to meet on third Thursdays, in person whenever possible.
The board meeting schedule is published in the club's Calendar. The next three winter board meetings this year are scheduled to be held online via Zoom.
