The meeting was called to order at 1:55 p.m. with all board members in attendance. The minutes of the last meeting were approved.
Chuck Hite gave the treasurers report — showing the August 31, 2004 balance of $10,051.91. Total net funds available are $3,964.49 after the committed funds and net subsidies have been subtracted. This report also includes total memorials paid out to honor John Parris, Frank Bailey and Art Smith. The report was accepted without objection.
Doug Bond, George Baker and Al Valenti were appointed by Conde to develop a list of candidates to fill two spots on the board. Several names were mentioned during the discussion — the decision was made for the committee to present four nominees to the board at the October meeting. The ballots will be mailed to the membership in early November — to be returned by November 30, 2004.
Plans to purchase the placques honoring the low net and low gross winners in the Golden Boys Championship tournament are underway. The placques will be presented to Bill Allen — low gross, and Sid Paine — low net winners at the annual Christmas party.
Doug Bond announced that a total 63 members and guests attended the Dine Around held at the Commerce Club. The service, food, atmosphere all contributed to an enjoyable evening for all in attendance. Doug and Al have completed plans for the final Dine Around for 2004 to be held at Pebble Creek in October.
Al Valenti stated that the annual picnic plans are complete: food, drink, deserts (thanks to the wives), fun and games to be enjoyed by all.
Mack and Chuck will schedule a meeting with Rene sometime in October to set the arrangements for the annual Christmas party to be held December 9.
The subject of team captains for 2005 was brought up for discussion. The idea of having four captains for each month and each team responsible for all the games in their selected month (Monday game, Wednesday game, Friday game) was suggested. The motion was made and a second given to select four captains for each month — the motion carried without opposition.
No other business was brought to the boards attention — meeting was adjourned at 3:15 p.m.
