Minutes were approved

Kincaid: Treasurer's Report:

Good financial shape. $16,100 in checking, $40,860 in money market, for a total of $56,960 in bank. Money position is slightly less than last year at this time.

New Draft of the Budget. This year we had some generous donors for buses; Concert expenses were reduced by the generosity of the school district. This is something we cannot count on. Regarding the $15,000 we are considering giving to the Foundation, we may want to use these funds in another direction. Last year's $15,000 we gave to the Foundation for a tentative donation was done in September. This will become a permanent donation next month.

Budget approved after discussion.

Approval to set aside $15,000 for the Foundation, subject to a 1 year possible re-allocation of the funds.

Terri Grassi: Club Service, Fellowship

Family Picnic coming up next week. Dinner served 2:30 to 5:30. This is earlier than has been in the past. The cost is $25 per person. We can give each member a $12 credit towards the $25 cost. Our club play's the first and last games. Our club is responsible for next year's family picnic.

There is a district baseball night set for September 9; ticket prices are cheap. Game needs to be promoted this week - we are dark next.

Brief discussion to allow more mixing of members within a meeting - need to find better acceptance of new members.

Winston Creel: Community Service General:

During Winston's absence, Bill Mathy presented another potential entertainment group for our January Concert Saturday, January 26th. The "Fennians" - a mixture of Irish music. Their costs are such that we can make more money with simpler entertainment than we could have with David Gaines. We listened to their music - watched a short video. Need to decide quickly.

Terri Grassi: Club Service, Fellowship:

A couple of vacancies to fill in the Organization; Oct 2 is RI Foundation update dinner. Oates looking to work something with the Morelia Rotary as part of the sister city program.

Jim Young had a proposal for our board to consider regarding the Cal State Fullerton Rotary Room. Membership development: set up a presence at CSUF. Jim has been working with the other clubs in our district. Approximately 30 ,000 people pass through the library each year. Another utility of the room would be to archive Rotary history in Orange County and LA County. There is a K Club active at CSUF; It would be better to have a Rotaract presence for the students also avaliable. A large room would be dedicated to Rotary for a $25,000. Do we ant to consider this jointly or separately?

            This is something we need to consider seriously. There is a possibility of having Rick King to participate.

Peloquin: looking for us to consider a social function jointly with the other 2 Fullerton Clubs - possibly a Christmas party at Newport, or something similar.

District Conference is set for May 14-16th, 2002.
