Budget
- A draft budget was recently circulated to the club that had been passed by the directors.
- Presenting a deficit budget (approx. $8500.00).
- At present, our only “for sure” income is from our dues and grants.
- We may be able hold virtual 100 Elliot Lakers Who Care.
- The cash we have in our account would cover our deficit.
- This does not touch our GIC (rainy day account).
- Proposing to maintain our bursaries to students.
- This also assumes our district grant proposal is successful.
- The student exchange program is on hold.
- $1000.00 is set aside for other student programs if they go ahead.
- The budget contains “soft spots”.
Motion: To accept the budget as presented.
Moved by: Shawn Heard.
Seconded: Brenda McNaughton.
Carried.
Meeting Schedule
- It was decided to hold a meeting every second Tuesday on this rotation.
- Would still allow for opportunities of fellowship.
Motion: To hold formal meetings every second Tuesday.
Moved by: Bill Goulding.
Seconded by: Shawn Heard.
Motion carried.
100 Elliot Lakers Who Care
- We are currently holding approx. $8000.00 for Paul Eldon (Last years successful project presenter).
- The project is still going forward.
- We should send out an update to the donor’s list.
- Also, we should put out a new call for projects.
TV Bingo
- John brought forward an idea at the Director’s Meeting to see if we could get involved with TV Bingo.
- TV Bingo happens Sunday and Wednesday nights.
- There are currently 9 groups involved.
- Each group must sell 10 Bingo cards.
- Each group is also responsible for distributing, collecting cards; collecting funds; submitting reports; running the bingo on “their night” (minimum of three persons).
- The organization may not be receptive to us jumping on board at this point.
- John will follow-up with the TV Bingo organization regarding our possible involvement.
Aiden Freitag
- Aiden was our bursary winner but has notified us that he will not be attending university this fall due to COVID pandemic. He is asking our permission for a one-year deferment.
- We have already forwarded our bursary monies ($500) to ELSS who hold the funds for the student. They have agreed to continue to hold the funds with our permission.
- This was approved at the director’s meeting.
Rotary Dues
- District will not finalize due until later in the year.
- We have already received a bill from Rotary International.
Jenna New/Old Project Idea
- Has been approached by members in the community who are looking for someone/a group to organize and manage a Little Free Lending Library (LFLL) within the community.
- This is due to the library being closed for the foreseeable future.
- We could perhaps donate an old bookshelf.
- Douglas will investigate locating the LFLL outside of the current library (He knows the Library board chairperson).
Golf Tournament
- At least one tournament is rumoured to have taken place.
- Competitors had to book their T times. Meals were held just when they had completed their round of golf.
- We are not going to host a tourney this year.
- Perhaps some kind of recognition event for all of our previous years sponsors.
- Hesitate to use the word “Tournament”.
Birthdays and Anniversaries
