Board Attendees Present:  Deb Rhodes - Chair, Katrinka Hart, Jim Morrison, Paul Koch

Guests (for Make up credit):  Jodie Anderson, Shawn Siders, Shirley Doss

Reports:

The minutes from the March Board meeting were approved as read by Deb Rhodes.  Chuck Clark was not present at the meeting; however, Jodie Anderson will help record the minutes at future meetings.

Katrinka gave the Treasurer’s Report with the last month’s checking account transactions and the difference in accounts balances for the last month.  Katrinka mentioned that Bonnie spent $104 filling the tote with supplies for the military.  Also, $125 was paid out for D&O Insurance; every member will be billed $3 to account for this.  Katrinka reported that this check has not yet been sent because she is unsure if this was a 2008 or 2009 invoice.  In addition, the Kick Cancer payment check sent in October was not cleared, so a stop payment was put on the check and the payment was reissued.  The reissued payment has not cleared as well.  Both the D&O and Kick Cancer payments are sent to the same person, so it was suggested that Matt Willis look into this issue further.  Katrinka also reported that the amount in our Foundation accounts have increased due to the activity in the stock market.  Treasurer’s Report approved as read by Deb Rhodes.

Old Business:

The Spaghetti Dinner date is set for June 20, 2009.  Katrinka mentioned that Father’s Day could be promoted to get more people interested in the Spaghetti Dinner.  The dinner will take place at the Senior Citizens Center from 5 PM – 7 PM.  Katrinka mentioned adding this information to the Rotary website.  Deb will check with Alvera Robinson to see if she will be making extra sauce to sell.  Deb also reminded the Board that it was important to promote Polio as the focus of this fundraiser.

The Reference Book Drive effort between Rotary, Lions Club, and Emblem Club was discussed.  Deb will speak with Debbie as to how we will be tracking the donations received on behalf of this project and will coordinate with Shawn and Katrinka.  The goal is to have the books ready for the libraries for fall.

Deb Rhodes spoke briefly about the Rotary Relays.  Jeff Lanham should be giving a report at next Tuesday’s Rotary meeting.  The relays will be held on April 25, 2009.  Deb also mentioned that trophies were already paid for from last year’s event. Debbie also mentioned that the Future Vision Plan was sent.

New Business:

Deb announced that the District Conference is to be held on May 14, 2009 and a golf match would start if off.  Lunch will be served at 12:00 PM and the golf play starts at 1:30 PM. Deb also announced that the scholarship applications have been sent out to the schools.

Shirley Doss mentioned to the group that Laura Snow from the Symphony was interested in speaking to the Rotary Club during our weekly meeting.
