MEETING NOTES
Meeting called to order by President Ben at 3:35 PM
We welcomed Rex & Flora's guests Les & Celia
Elections will be next month. We will need all new officers except for Treasurer.
Club Treasure George S. brought up the following issues:
We need a location for next September 2015. Todd A. volunteered to look into Pt. Mugu which must be reserved 6 mos. in advance.
We need a location for next October. George suggested that he will look into reserving Newport Dunes and if it is not available, we will book Yucaipa again. FOLLOW UP: Newport has been booked for Oct. 2015.
George S. has now booked Casitas for next March & will book Camp Comfort for June.
Wagon masters for next year were discussed and Stan and Una M. volunteered for Jan. George and Margaret B. will try and do Feb but if they cannot do it Todd and Renee A. will take their place. (George B. will let George S. know so he can notify Todd A. in a timely manner).
Responding to the Treasurer’s emails was discussed so that George S. can have a better idea of individual member status for the Clubs Status report.
George S. said he had not heard from several Club members concerning Pismo Sands & needs to know their status for that campout.
The 3 month pay in advance rule was also brought up to remind members to pay on time for outings or as soon as the fees are known.
George S. reported that there was currently $8,879 in the Club Treasury and that following Flying Flags that we would start out the new year with approximately $6,800.
George S. made a motion to reserve a facility for shelter and dinner for the Ocean Mesa campout due to the possibility of cold & rainy weather & pay for it with Club funds. It was pointed out that the facility does have a meeting room but the rental fee was over $300 plus a dinner on the club.
This resulted in a group discussion and it was noted that all members would not be in attendance, and thus could not take advantage of this proposal. George S. withdrew his motion. Another motion by Jean S. to have current club members in good standing as of this date not pay dues for the 2015 year. That motion was amended by Dave H. to include only members that have paid their dues this 2014 year. That motion was seconded by Rex L. and approved by a majority vote.
Club members will simply brave the cold & rain issue, not addressed by the above approved motion, if it occurs at the January 2015 campout.
The meeting was adjourned at 4:22PM by President Ben
