is mostly sorted, need volunteers and the check in process two people and do want to allow for each

volunteer have a team of six people to switch out each 15-20 minutes to allow all enjoy. the pre-event to

attend prior to have many hands to help setup.

Budget (share) able to walk through the pricing for the event. This year we gain a sponsor from PCA

national since it will be a charity event. $750.00 and gained a 10% discount only on the Entree since we

came back from the Summer Party.

Meeting Minutes November:

Motion to approve – Kristin asked if there are minutes sent out from Rico regarding Glenn’s Zone

Presidents’ meeting. They did not create this time etc. Term limits, review of the RPM, bylaws and

compliance were well discussed between the presidents. Well attended event with 11 presidents from

11 zones were present. Next presidents meeting will be April.

Zone 1 is set up as a legal entity, and it is corporation. Rico shared that is likely to un-incorporate in

2025, more to come in terms of updates/changes. At the end of the year, Rico Diaz ‘s term ends at the

end of the year. A replacement has yet to be named. He will no longer be our Zone 1 rep due to his

term expiring. (Glenn reshared the notes in the minutes for the new directors coming on board) etc.

Bylaws and compliance were well discussed at the meeting.

Motion to Approve: Mark

2d Bailey

All approved

BaileyMade revisions and financial review of meetings and had to make some corrections, a little revenue for

the Gala. A noteworthy conversation of the CD (checking/Money Market) accounts have matured and

rolled into new 8 month CDs and prior to that we had add ’l $$ and ytd 7K and earning almost 1K per

month. It has been an outstanding strategy. We are a non-profit and we do need to be careful around

having those dollars and how we apply. This money can be used to subsidize other events.

Andrea asked some questions around the CD (terms) and better understand the reinvesting options

(Andrea / Bailey will connect offline).

Clinton Savings Bank – Glenn and Andrea/Bailey (board resolution that needs to go to the bank) and

need a quorum as formality to add Andrea, retain Glenn, and remove Bailey as treasurer as sole

signatories of the bank accounts.

Approve Treasurer’s report.
