Kathy Harris gave a report on the financial standing of the Rose Memorial (attached) and thanked her ad hoc committee of Bob Ingels, Lillian Estes, Pam and Sam Harris, and Estelle White. One of the pots will need to be replaced this summer so she may need further help so we may all enjoy the roses, which are still blooming.

Cecil thanked the club for a good year. Only four incidents have been taken to the Conduct and Ethics committee this year, the attendance has increased, and he expected there will be a profit of $1000/$2000 at the end of the year. He noted that reports by board members are posted on the bulletin board.

He then noted further figures and asked if any member have questions, they may see him after the meeting.

Teri LaBove requested that all members pay their 2009 dues of $5.00 ASAP. She also has tickets available for the Christmas party.

Estelle White, Election Committee Chair, then introduced Conrad Farner, her “head counter” with results of the election (attached).
