Minutes for last meeting recorded by Joan Williams.

TREASURER’S REPORT:

Treasury report submitted by Amy Buchanan.

We have $1,200 in our account.  We will need $5,000 for budgeted items for the rest of the year.  A discussion was held as to how to make this shortfall up.  The Pre-MOTM party can be combined with the Fall picnic and the Annual Meeting budget can be reduced to $100.  The Christmas party committee will also look at ways to reduce their budget.  Dues for 2018, which were increased, will begin to come in soon.   Also, the Leadership Council did not spend all their funds.

Motion to accept report made by John Williams, seconded by Kari Sheets.  Motion passed unanimously.

MEMBERSHIP OFFICER REPORT:

Jackie Dorsey submitted the Membership report.  Jackie reported there were 86 members at the August Phlocking, and 5 members were inducted. Ken Baxley was the $5 raffle winner.

Jackie will send final emails to people and remove them from the list if they do not renew.

WDWGDAS had thirteen attendees and one was a new member.  Gregg and Suzanne Templin have agreed to run this year’s election.

Motion to accept report made by Amy Walker and seconded by Amy Buchanan.                  Motion passed unanimously.

The September Phlocking will be held Friday, September 1, 2017.  The theme for the Phlocking will be football, and the musician will be Jimi Pappas.  The Lucky Stars benefactor and the raffle table sponsor are open.
