Sara Pierce was installed into the club at the August business meeting
by President Diane Volden and Membership Committee Chair Judy
Ringler Mountain. We are very excited to have Sara in the club and
can’t wait to get to know her better!
Finance Committee
Tricia Stenberg and Carol Lee ~ CoChairs
Finance met August 1 to review and discuss the budget requests from the committees. Without receiving all requests, it was decided to
table the discussion until September. We will bring our
recommendations to the September board meeting.
It was voted by the membership that the club will pay
the $150 registration fee and $50 toward travel to the
three members going to the District 7 conference in St.
Louis.
Finance plans to hold a meeting for those members interested in brainstorming ideas to raise additional funds
to attend the 2014 Zonta International Convention in
Florida next summer. More details to come.
Fundraising at the Civic Center: Members seem to agree
that this is a quick, easy, non-back-breaking way to raise
predictable money for the club. It has been suggested
that committees each take on staffing assigned scheduling so that the responsibility falls on the committees
fairly. We will have the 2013-14 hockey schedule at the
September meeting so that we can plan early for the
year.
Next meeting: Thursday, September 5, 7am at Perkins
Hwy 169
Sara Sletten ~ Treasurer
Books are closed for the 2012-2013
year: Judi and I (Barb) reviewed the
treasurer's records and found them to be in
good order, with just a couple minor changes. ~Barb
Please arrange with Sara, when you will be needing to
drop off Fashion Show money to her. If you feel comfortable holding onto some of it until you see her next,
that is fine with her. Otherwise, please arrange a time
and place to meet with her. (this will mostly be for those
who are handling tickets/raffle/sponsors)
Money activity since last month (attached is the spreadsheet if you want to see details): Rewrote STEM camp
check of 150 because it was lost in the mail the first time
Blooming Pretty has been finalized--Diane will report this
There were some small membership expenses.
And program had a small expense for the annual picnic.
