Amanda Montgomery, Mary Helen Polensky, Cynthia Nelson, Leo Kurylo, Peggy James, and Patty Ruback were present. Ruth Peterson and Mary Petruchius were absent.
Leo called meeting to order at 6:43pm.
Minutes of the previous meeting were approved by consensus.
Manager’s Report: Peggy is currently finishing up financial statements. She reported that sales have been very good this past month and we have seen an increase in non-member shoppers. Loreen is increasing our inventory in anticipation for our sales dip during the summer break. Peggy has also set up electronic filing for taxes, as a result of some issues she was experiencing with the manual tax filings. Peggy also reported that Kathy Clark, one of our part-time employees, will be leaving us this summer to pursue a graduate degree in Nutrition. Peggy will be looking for a replacement clerk to fill the vacant position.
Old Business: None reported
New Business: Cynthia has a scheduling conflict starting in the fall that will prevent her from attending board meetings. She suggested that the Board look for a replacement for her position, since her term will also be up this year.
Committee Reports: The Outreach committee discussed ways to increase volunteer involvement, because they are having difficulty staffing some events. Cynthia suggested creating a member-worker slot for outreach events. Outreach is also working on creating some in-store flyers on various subjects (i.e. cooking with grains) and a nutritional-related curriculum for area schools. The “Spring-A-Ma-Jig” is scheduled for May 15th and will include music, seedling exchanges, children activities, in-store specials, and free lunch for members.
The “Standing Rules” ad hoc committee will continue working on the “Standing Rules” draft. They are trying to resolve a conflict regarding the voting power of the president based on their understanding of Robert’s Rules.
Leo adjourned meeting at 7:21pm and the next meeting is scheduled for May 24th at 6:30pm
Submitted by: Patty Ruback, acting secretary |
