Presentations by Guests
National Men’s Curling Championship: Members
of the organizing committee presented a report on the event. It
was a great success. The club was given a check for $16,384.75.
This represents the bulk of the net revenue from the event. They
are holding back $400.00 for any additional expenses that have
not come through yet. A big thanks from the board to Mike Liapis,
Jeff Nelson, Jerry Pickett, Rich Reierson and the other volunteers
who made this event such a success.
Finance:
Dave Lundberg presented a financial report dated February 29,
2008. There seems to be a discrepancy between Wayne’s checkbook
balance and the actual account balance (actual balance is higher).
Dave will look into it. Financially the club had a very good year
even with very high utility bills. The clubs tax return was not
filed last year. It should have been filed in November for the
year ending June 30, 2007.
Old Business:
- Election Results: John Faulkner, Evonne
McKinzie and Doug Underthun were elected to serve on the board
for three-year terms.
- Bid for Junior National Championships, January 23-30,
2010: Dave Chandler moved, seconded by Chase Jackson,
that we approve the bid for the Junior National Championships
with Terry Matson and Brian Glynn as co-chairs. Motion carried.
Committee Reports
- Bar: None
- Juniors: Randy presented a Junior Curling
Committee report that included the committee’s budget
planning for next year. Dave Chandler moved, seconded by Chase
Jackson, that we approve the report. Motion carried.
General Manager’s Report:
- Higgins has submitted a bid of $3885 for repairs to the ice
plant. Chase Schmitt moved, seconded by Chase Jackson, that
we accept the bid. Motion carried.
- The medallion the Moose Club has had for years will be taken
by the United Brotherhood of Electrical Workers. They will pay
for the new medallion and next years rental fee. The new medallion
will be put on a more durable “polycore board”.
- Bob reviewed the unpaid bills and expenses from the season.
There were some discrepancies with the charges for bonspiels.
Contracts will be issued for bonspiels next year so there are
no questions.
- Bob would like to bid for next year’s State Junior
Curling Championships. The board supported this effort. An organizing
committee would need to be formed.
- Bob has been a USCA and MCA representative for a number of
years. He is done this spring. The club needs a new MCA representative.
They meet four times a year for two hours in Hinkley, MN.
New Business: Nones
