COMMUNICATIONS OFFICER REPORT:

Lou informed the board that changes to the operating procedures was no easy task; that they had to go through the board and membership. Lou also informed us that memberadvocate@phcf.com has been created.

Lou reported that he has been fielding complaints from members that the Phlockings were not consistent, lacked structure, no conga lines, no Lou’s song, sometimes no announcements. A discussion ensued and a set time was established for the raffle and initiations, and let the rest fall as it may.

Terry gave kudos to Lou and Pat for their Pig Roast and to Amy Walker for stepping up for the IOA Beer Pour. He informed us that Jim’s Adopt-a-Latitude has picked up due to their announcing it sooner and addition of a clean-up prize.

Terry announced that he will hold a raffle for the use of a tandem kayak at the next Phlocking..

OLD BUSINESS:

In response to Lisa Schott’s concern regarding FITA approaching the $50k cap for receipts to be able to file the 990-N postcard, per tax code section 501(c)(7), Cindy Cunningham investigated the IRS rules and confirmed that the $50k cap does not apply to FITA funds since they do not run through the club’s general account and are a direct pass-through for another charity. Therefore, no change is required.

NEW BUSINESS:

Amy volunteered to send out a Phlockmail to get Keets to volunteer at events for school volunteer hours.

A motion to adjourn was made by Marty, seconded by Lou, and passed unanimously.

Meeting was adjourned at 8:53pm.
