Treasurer’s Report: (Ingrid Kessler)
We expect our bank account to fluctuate for the next several months.
Donations are on target. Sponsorships are down, but we expect that to change.
We have received our first bill for the new venue, which is less than we budgeted.
Advertising is what we budgeted.
Accounting will likely be somewhat higher, which is part of our transition.
Personnel will be above budget due to changes in employment.
We bank with Columbia Bank which is merging with Umpqua Bank. The new name will be Umpqua Bank. We have two checking accounts, one linked to our debit card, and we are maintaining a steady balance in that account.
President’s Report: (Kaarin Knudson)
A goal for the first quarter of the year is to expand the Program Committee, hopefully by at least 3 members. Kaarin is reaching out to several people who have expressed an interest.
Randi and Kaarin are working on how the Program Committee functions and moving into the Cloud to make tracking easier for the volunteers. Ralph Pledger has volunteered to make a template for creating a program. Moderators can then populate the template for their program.
Committee reports, including media, membership and nominations, were received and discussed. Ralph presented a request for media support, a backup to the AV group. His name is Marcus Johnson. A motion was made and passed to fund four hours of his time.
Respectfully submitted,
Sandy Smalley, Secretary
