Business Meeting, September 2, 2009

(Having taken no pictures, I decided to put up some old ones from the film archive. Here's the CLK Hockey Team of 2009)


This was one of the rare meetings at which no guests were present. There were 16 members in attendance and a good deal of business was discussed:

1. President Jim reminded everyone to update their personal data for the club archive. This is important and is used by the district when calculating benefits, etc.

2. Treasurer Joel announced that there was a total of $9,341.18 in our checking/savings accounts.

3. July attendance was 51% and August 59%. We can do better!

4. In January, 2010, the CLK Rotary Club will be 60 years old. President Jim is looking for ideas to mark the celebration of this event. Patricia was elected chairman and she will need committee members to assist her to plan the action. Come with ideas.

5. Tammies Chairman Dan announced that the club made a net profit very close to $2,000 and he reminded everyone that just a slightly better effort next year will produce an enormous increase since all the expenses will remain the same. The results of the ticket sales were: Keweenaw, 50; Calumet/Laurium, 48; Southside, 36, and the winners were Da Valley, 54. Kilpela was awarded 12 golf balls for his efforts in sales. He expects that will get him through 9 holes easily.
6. Jim asked if there is anyone interested in being a mentor and speaking to a couple of 9th grade classes at Calumet and Lake Linden. If interested, you will receive some training and a power point demonstration to use. See President Jim.

7. In addition, if the club is interested in the "visionary" project, the Houghton club's Elden Johnson is the point man on the project. This is a program whereby a facilitator will conduct a meeting to seek and develop visionary goals for our club.

Finally, we were reminded that the board of directors meets the third Tuesday of each month.
