DMBC BOARD MEETING

June 15, 2009

President, Jim Geary, called the meeting to order at 4:50 p.m.

Members in attendance were Jim, Chet, Barbara, Donna, Scott, Sally, and Lynn. 

Scott Weiss was welcomed as our new board member.

Jim presented the financial report.

• Our club is holding assets in CDs of approximately $58K.
• It was noted that our water bill was unusually high for the month of May. There was a plumbing problem, likely affecting the water usage, which has been addressed. We will watch it closely to be sure that was the problem.
• The table count for May was down 38 from 2008. This can partly be explained by the adverse weather and the Sectional in Palm Coast.
• It was noted that we are spending more on supplies, particularly printer cartridges because of the new practice of supplying game printouts.

Old Business:

• The terrazzo floors have been cleaned. The board expresses its thanks to Carol Lively, Gail Rust, and Betty Bayard for making this happen.
• We also discussed the possible need for carpet cleaning and table top cleaning.

New Business:

• Betty Sandifer, our Unit 128 board member representative, has provided to us new directions from the Unit. During Sectionals, the club should be providing prizes to first place winners. The club should also have lessons each day. This information will be passed along to our tournament organizers.
• The club is looking for members to serve on the September Sectional Committee.
• Mattie’s Thursday morning classes have dropped in attendance. She has requested that the class be canceled for the summer. She would like to start a new Thursday AM class in October. The board noted the great job she is doing for the club. She has brought in significant new members and feedback from her students is very good.
• Spike presented a proposed game schedule for the next quarter. Several ideas were entertained regarding Pro Am games and Triple point games.

The next meeting will be Monday July 20.

Meeting adjourned at 5:30 p.m.
