Approve Prior Minutes: A motion to approve

Presentations by Guests Mary Simon will
pick up some supplies for the bar and is making staffing arrangements
for the year.
Finance: Aaron Stodgell presented a financial
report. Chub and Dona Mae Naylor donated $1000 to the club. Account
activity has been slow this month. Bob Rosch will be doing the
club’s taxes this year instead of Miller-McDonald. We got
a large bill from the IRS for late fees. Aaron is checking into
it.
Old Business:
- Bar: Jim Breyen and Jeff Nelson have done
a great job refinishing the bar over the summer. It looks terrific.
Chase Jackson and Evonne McKinzie talked to local distributors
about installing glycol lines to dispense beer. We would need
to purchase a walk-in cooler to do this. After discussion it
was decided we would get a quote on repairing the old keg cooler.
Doug Underthun will take it into Naylor’s for evaluation.
- Ice Ads: Board members who called last years
advertisers gave information to Aaron Stodgell who will send
out bills to those who want to renew their ads.
- League Prices: Aaron presented some scenarios
for combining the limited and unlimited membership rates to
simplify the dues structure. After discussion Evonne McKinzie
moved, seconded by Chase Schmitt, to leave the categories the
same but increase the prices as follows:
- General Unlimited/Limited $300/265
- Senior Unlimited/Limited $265/230
- New Unlimited/Limited $230/200
- Student Unlimited/Limited $215/185
The motion carried. The board also agreed to assist in the collection
of delinquent dues.
- GM Contract: Bob accepted his new contract
and will bring a draft of a new event contract to the next board
meeting. We need to ensure that cleaning costs are covered under
the agreement with people renting the club for events.
Committee Reports
General Manager’s Report:
- The board needs to decide what to charge the high school
for the use of the club for its curling class. Last year it
was $2100.
- The bonspiel schedule is coming together for next year. Bob
is checking on a couple details.
- Ice is in on four sheets and is available for practice. The
last two sheets should be done soon. The plant is running more
efficiently with the recent maintenance work.

once a month.
