The club’s board of directors met on Thursday, January 18, 2024 on the Zoom platform. Highlights included approval of an amendment to Art. 7 of the club's Bylaws for recommendation to the membership, approval of an amendment to Appendix A of the Bylaws to recognize spouse/partner membership fee waivers, and reports from the community service and club service chairs on the results of the holiday gift purchases and the Rotary Valentine Dinner event on February 12, 2024.The treasurer updated directors on the progress of investing in short-term certificates of deposit at Banner Bank. The board reviewed the content of the new membership pages for the website, and discussed the new donation pages now live on the website, and decided to eliminate a few of the options where it is easier to donate directly to the partner agencies through their websites (which also saves the club credit card processing fees).
The board discussed possible locations for this year's leadership transition dinner, approved offering six Rotary Scholarship at $3,000 each, approved the donation of Rotary’s old Casio PX-100 keyboard to Music4Life, and discussed the status of research into alternative meeting sites in Kirkland's downtown core area.
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. Rotarians may view this month’s board meeting minutes and those of prior meetings on the Board Minutes page, which requires a log-in. A link also may be found at the bottom of The Spokesman.
