Membership Meeting Minutes March 11, 2002

Madam President Kathy Paavola called the meeting to order. Roll call was taken. Marge Barrett, Dawn Frandrup, Tara Nelson, Diana Saenger, and Dick Lang were absent.

announcements - none. secretary's report

Kathy Paavola read the report. There were several corrections. The date for the Easter Party was changed to March 16th, and the problem with the store involved the scavenger hunt, not the medallion hunt. The date for the treasurer's report should have been 1/31/02, not 1/31/01. Alice Pederson made a motion to accept the minutes as changed. Verna Findorff seconded the motion. Motion passed.

treasurer's report-marlene collen

Copies of the report were available. As of 2/28/02: checking = $39.23, mission savings = $27,510.39, mission checking = $2,716.13. Since March 1st, Marlene deposited more money into the checking account, so the balance should be $592.54, leaving enough to pay the loan for the month of March as well as the $100 monthly payment to Kevin May.

Bonnie wanted to know what the $207.49 listed under disbursements for property upkeep was for. Marlene said it was the cost of repairing the refrigerator and freezer.

Penny Berens made a motion to accept the Treasurer's report subject to audit. Jeff Hintz seconded the motion. Motion passed.

gambling report - marge barrett

Marge was sick, so Bert gave the report.

For the month of February: Gross receipts = $43,156.00. Net receipts = $8,873.00. There was a cash shortage of $41. Net profit was $4,440.30. 45/55 was $1,123.74.

Allowable expenses: Rent, compensation, and Ben's wholesale should be for April. Marge's phone, MDR, and Jim (accountant) should be for March.   Questions can be addressed next month. Lawful expenditures: The IRS penalty of $2,118.90 for filing late for the year 2000 is being appealed. There was a transfer to the mission account of $2,500.

We will be receiving a little over $1,000 back from the fines we paid to the IRS. The lawful gambling expense worksheet has been changed from last month and the numbers should now be correct. We will also be getting a refund of $1,113.80 from unsold pulltabs and tipboard tickets.

The check register, physical and perpetual inventory, payroll, and gaming news were all available.

 

Bonnie said that each item listed under lawful expenditures should be approved separately.

Bonnie Harvey made a motion to approve the allowable expenses. Mike Murphy seconded the motion. Motion passed.

Marlene Collen made a motion to approve the 990-T 1RS taxes of $285.69 under lawful expenditures. Mike Murphy seconded the motion. Motion passed.

Jeff Hintz made a motion to pay the IRS penalty of $2,118.90 for late filing even though Jim (the accountant) is appealing it. Penny Berens seconded the motion. Motion passed.

George Paavola made a motion to approve the transfer of $2,500 to the mission account. Alice Pederson seconded the motion. Motion passed.

Bonnie said the IRS penalty should be under allowable expenses rather than lawful expenditures. senior committee - none

Something to think about - Marge goes to Columbus Senior Center and they have a bus that will pick up and drop off people for different events. It would be nice to get a senior group together for something like this.

youth committee

Tara and Diana are working on the Easter Party. They have games, crafts, and a scavenger hunt planned. Kathy will be the Easter Bunny and there will be lunch for the kids. The scouts are having a sleepover at the clubhouse on Saturday, March 16th.

dock committee report

The committee will be meeting in a few weeks. They need membership cards, stamps, and envelopes. The rules/regulations, DNR slips, and dock agreements also need to be copied. Marlene will make up the membership cards and buy stamps and envelopes. The committee hopes to send out letters next month. There was discussion regarding the dock fees.

Renewal notices will be sent out and must be returned by May 31st. If renewals are not received by then, a second notice will be sent out allowing another 30 days to respond. There will be no phone calls! If there is still no response, a list of people who have not paid will be given to the Board of Directors to deal with. An article to this effect will be put in the newsletter. There will also be someone from the dock committee at pancake breakfasts during the last two weeks of April and all of May.

rental report - kathy paavola

There was a rental on Saturday, and Kathy has received more calls expressing interest. Several weddings are possible. Kathy would like to see a little more clean-up at the clubhouse before there are too many more rentals.

 

old business

The last dance went okay and some money was earned; Marlene will report the amount next month. Everyone had a good time, but there's a small problem. Mike has karaoke and music at the bar every weekend, and the dances interfere with business. We don't want to compete with him, so we need to coordinate future events with him.   Kathy will talk to him regarding the spring dance. We might have to have the dances earlier in the day.

Kathy didn't receive any help finding an electrician to fix the exhaust fan, so she will call the guy that fixed the refrigerator to get a recommendation. She also hasn't heard anything further on the batting cage. Bonnie said that according to the park board, a batting cage would be fine. There may be some liability issues; Bonnie will report on the issue next month.

new business

Kathy is looking at April 14th or 21st to start pancake breakfasts. An announcement will be put in the newsletter and on cable T.V. once a date is decided on. Kathy received a call from the Anoka County youth service office. They'll be sending some kids out to help with the breakfasts to earn community service hours.

Kathy welcomed some new attendees to the meeting.

A copy of the sexual predator information distributed by Anoka County was available for people to look at.

Jeff Hintz made a motion to adjourn the meeting. Motion was seconded and passed.
