A 50/50 will be held to benefit Juvenile Diabetes.
Lisa Schott gave a FITA update. FITA will be held on January 26-28, 2018. It is the 10th year anniversary so they want it to be extra special. This will be the last year that George and Lisa will chair. There is a rumor going around that it will be the last year for FITA. Lisa wants to emphasize that is not true and they are looking for new chair parrots to take over. The new chair parrots will be able to make changes and make it their own. George and Lisa will be there to help.
A discussion was held as to how the club can encourage members to volunteer at our charitable events. Various recognition and reward incentives were brainstormed. Recognition pins and giving out new volunteer shirts after members have volunteered four times in a year were suggested. Emphasizing volunteering at the Phlockings by adding pictures of volunteer events to the DVDs shown at Phlockings was also discussed.
A motion to adjourn was made by John Williams, seconded by Amy Buchanan, and passed unanimously.
Meeting was adjourned at 8:58 pm.
