Millcreek Board members take care of business at a whirlwind meeting

Rotary Club of Millcreek Board meeting: January 26, 2012

In attendance: President Megan Dunn, Vice President Laurie Summers-Pisani, Treasurer Ken Klingler, Secretary Christine Casper, Community Service Chair Miriam Kramer, Vocational Service Chair Laura Rogers, Youth Service Chair Ladd Tanner, Club Service Chair Annie Nielsen, RC Millcreek Rotarian Susan Brown, Guests:  RC Palo Alto Rotarian Mary Qian, and Kim Williams, potential club member.

RC Millcreek Rotarian and Special Rep of the District Governor Judy Zone presided as there were many club formation issues to be addressed.

Club Secretary Christine will develop a membership roster with full contact information, including mailing address, birthdates, spouse or significant other name (as applicable) before our March business meetings. She will also make sure all members are current on the RI website.

President Megan will appoint a membership chair as soon as possible who will handle the details of accepting new members. In the meantime, potential club members can get the membership application and financial responsibilities document from Megan, bring them to the meetings with a check for $105 (which covers one quarter of membership due + the initial RI ‘sign-up’ charge of $15). Potential members can also mail in these documents. Club P.O. Box is now on the blog. All members should also have these materials soft copy in their records to recruit members. Megan will send them out to members.

Treasurer Ken will present a ledger bank statement showing transaction in and out of our checking account at the second business meeting of each month. He will send the information soft copy to the Board at least two days before this meeting. Ken is responsible for letting the Board know when a member has not paid dues.



Judy will revise the Bylaws and send to the club for their edits and eventual approval.

VP Laurie has volunteered to be our club’s President-Nominee for the July 2013-2014 Rotary Year. Upon club election, she will be attended the District’s President Elect Training Seminar Feb 24-25. The club pays this cost, as well as the cost for Megan.

The club needs a regular meeting place. Lugano’s will only let us know on a week-by-week basis. If there is a club member who can find a consistent restaurant meeting place for $5 appetizers weekly and a cash bar, please do. Until then, we will meet at the Youthlinc office which is very close to our Millcreek geographical designation.

Ladd reported that City Academy Interact papers have been filed, and he will check with RI on their progress to approval. Miriam said that there was a meeting scheduled with leadership from that club and leadership from Rotaract. The date may be changed to accommodate Ladd’s schedule. We need to make Interactors aware of the District Mexico service trip.

Annie will write the thank you notes to those associated with our charter dinner: Rotaracters who helped with check-in and payment, the singer, the pianist, the Cottonwood Club, the monks (who also will be paid $50 for their invocation), Sugar House Rotary President Ennis Gibbs, and our District Governor Rick Cambra.

Miriam briefly discussed the service planned with the Bhutanese community, which may consist of helping with their U.S. Citizenship exam. More information at our February business meetings.

RC Palo Alto Rotarian Mary Qian gave us some information about the Shen Yun performance of Chinese dance in Park City on Feb. 4.
