Kevin began the meeting by discussing the two projects he had spoken about a few weeks ago.
Project 1: The educational $1,000 scholarships recommended for both Lake Linden and Calumet High Schools. After much discussion, it was decided by unanimous vote to form a committee to decided upon the criteria for the scholarships. The committee recommendation will then be presented to the Board of Directors and eventually to the members by January, 2009.
Project 2: A significant community project (such as a pavilion in the park ala the Houghton Rotary Waterfront Pavilion) that will be funded over a 3-year period to the tune of about $3,500 per year. After much discussion, Kevin asked members to submit suggestions for this project by the end of September after which a decision can be made as to whether or not the club wishes to undergo the project.
Kevin said that both projects will require a significant financial and time commitment from the membership so your comments to the board swill be greatly appreciated.
All in all, it was a productive meeting challenging members to think and talk about the projects
in the coming weeks and months.
See you next week.
(Kevin listening wistfully to Phil's advice which is always well received and welcomed.)
(After the meeting, some members were locked in conversation in the parking lot of the Irish Times.)
