MINUTES BOARD MEETING
North Fresno Rotary
August 12, 2009
Meeting was called to order at 7:17 am by President, Lou Smaldino. Board members present include: Hansen, Puente, Reuland, Powell, Boyajian, Bezzerides, Daniel, McClendon, Mayu, Varvis, Clark and Smaldino. Absent member was Kittredge (excused medical). It was MSP to approve minutes of last meeting.
President’s Report: President Lou reviewed the club goals. We have a membership goal of 2 members per month and we currently have three in the works. Storyland & Jazz has a goal of 400 tickets to sell. We are far below that so we must push ticket sales the next few weeks. We need to prepare for the District Governor’s visit on October 15th. Lou also advised there is to be a “hands on” project at Storyland this October or in early November. Progress is being made on a District Simplified Grant with other Clubs.
Secretary’s Report: Reuland reported that the new roster would be out this week. One prospective member has received Rotary Information, the other two are trying to be scheduled. No other prospects pending. It was MSP to bill any member for tickets on our fund raisers, if they do not return money or tickets.

Treasurer’s Report: Doyle Daniel requested that Board Members provide acceptable expenses and budget items prior to our next Board Meeting. Discussion was held on what items would be acceptable expenditures on all fund raisers. This would be for a reimbursement policy. Doyle further mentioned it may be best to have a Club Assembly to discuss our Club Foundation.
Club Service: No Report
Community Service: Jim Clark advised the budget would be prepared by next meeting for sure! Valley Teen Ranch and Storyland/Playland are in need of work for hands on projects. We are going to continue to work with Lowell and Cooper Schools this year as the work we have done is showing good progress with the students
International Service: Boyajian reported that Budget figures would be ready next meeting. Puente advised they are looking for Spanish speakers for the Mexico projects. Work with the Hmong Community is to be determined. We need names of those interested in helping on those projects. Discussion was held regarding the ruling from the District regarding Emily’s mother’s visit. It was agreed that a letter from the Secretary would go out regarding our support of her request to travel with her mother.
Vocational Service: Bernadette reported that dates have been set up for Fresno High School’s job shadowing along with other projects and scholarships.
Endowment: Vote on the by-laws change will be held next week. The contract with the Realtor to sell the Knott home has been extended, this due to the slow market.

Old Business: None
New Business: None.
Meeting was adjourned at 8:23.
