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”.

Meeting Schedule

• It was decided to hold a meeting every second Tuesday on this rotation.
• Would still allow for opportunities of fellowship.

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”.
