Secretary’s
Report:
Minutes of the 1 November 2011 meeting were again distributed along
with the Y-T-D Treasurers Report.
Motion was made by Berkeland/Katzenmeyer to accept the minutes as
printed. MC
Request for
membership was received from Janet C. Wolfgram. Moved by Katzenmeyer/ Berkeland to
approve. MC (Bock requested that the
person sponsoring Janet come and fill out the Sponsor portion of the
application.)
One member has
not paid dues and meals for the current six months. The club has paid $92
for them to Kiwanis International.
Berkeland will talk to him.
Three members have not attended a meeting in November, with two of
them also not attending in October, nor did they work the Pancake Supper
Fund Raiser.
Request for a
Leave of Absence was received from Phil Hanson for 1 January 2012 through
unknown (must be less than 6 months).
Motion by Hovick/Krause to grant Leave of
Absence. MC
Treasurer’s
Report was received:
Project Account: Pancake Supper Fund Raisers at this time
has a net profit over $5,484. Bills
for advertising have been paid. Do
not know how much is owed to Hy-Vee as the slips turned in do not add up to
total hand written on them. Hovick announced that more funds are to be
received. Nieman believes a donation
is still to be received.
Koats for Kids has
spent $250 of the $200 budgeted.
Bock believes that the requests will drop off now that the free coat
distribution has taken place. As
stated last month, requests for coats come through the school nurse or Head
Start. The school allows a coat
every other year, not every year because there have been times when the
‘school’ children deliberately ruined their coat hoping to get a new
one.
Administrative Account: Everything going OK other than that noted above.
Business:
Unfinished
Business:
1.
Committee
Meetings and Members. Personius brought a proposed committee lineup. Suggestions were made and Personius will continue to work with it. Will be talking to Dave Johnson about
BINGO and others about how their Committee Worked. There was a suggestion of a ‘Permanent
Pancake Supper’ Committee. Consensus
was that was not a good idea, but there does need to be more continuity in
the committee. Maybe the Past
President goes on the committee to learn from the President before him and
the second year after being President, they become ‘Chair’.
2.
Bock gave the
program on Attendance and By-Laws.
Not all of the tabs have been received. When all the supplies ordered arrive, he
will again request time to pass them out.
3.
Pancake Supper had a GREAT YEAR!!!!! THANKS JOHN HOVICK and all others who
worked!!! Served 714, up from about
535 the past two years. Pre-sales were
over 1,000 and again 40% did not eat.
There were only 99 walk-ins this year compared to about 125 the past
two years. Again lots of compliments
about cakes. Members of the Jackson
Kiwanis Club were impressed with the wait line,
the quality of cakes and sausage and the way the Club worked. Although the wait was sometimes 20
minutes, not many people left and some stated that the wait was not as long
as they had waited on Black Friday or even Saturday to check out at some
stores. Some suggestion and/or
questions
a.
Every plate
needs 3 pancakes. This should not
slow the line down as many more came back for seconds than had in prior
years.
b.
Thanks You’s need to be sent, but not through a letter to the
editor as some may be inadvertently omitted but a general Thank You to all
who donated funds and equipment.
Members can pick up Kiwanis Thank You notes from Bock and get them
sent out.
c.
What about
members who do not sell any tickets or just purchase for their family? We know that some other clubs bill their members
for X amount, being the minimum that is expected from each member. No action taken.
d.
Some members
did not work the Monday night. All
are needed to make sure supplies are where needed or replenished. Yes, some were ill and therefore not
expected to work.
4.
Kwik Trip is going
well, but is not at the $50 each month for each of the two programs that
the Club approved with the Budget.
With the Car Wash Card, the club earns $10 per card sold. There are 5 wash per card, so if 5
members purchase a card each month, there is the $50. The Scrip card, the club nets 10% i.e. if
you purchase a $50 card, the club earns $5.
Need to sell $500 worth of scrip each month. That is only about 10 tank fulls. With 50
members, it would seem very doable.
It is believed that every member purchases gas for their vehicle and
should wash it, so . . . . .
5.
Success Academy
is going well. Have added 2 more
kids, so now up to 16 kids, 16 mentors and some subs. Swanson does food, Dunham program. This week’s program is Katzenmeyer.
6.
Some members
requested more information about the “Project Eliminate”. Bock will provide.
New Business:
- Callie Schutlze,
a former student who received of the Kiwanis Dollars for Scholarship
in 2010, will attend our meeting on the 14th. At that time the Club will present a
check(s) to Dollars for Sholarship to pay
off the balance needed for the endowment. Any member can help as at least one
has been helping by donating to Dollars for Scholars in the name of
Kiwanis Early Risers. If you
would please make the check-out to Dollars for Scholars (if you want
to claim the deduction at tax time) and give it to Bock before the
meeting on the 14th.
Current owed is $2,550 and it will come from the Project
Account less any checks received toward our commitment.
2.
Thank You gift
to the wait staff. Collection will
be taken on the 14th.
Bring money for this as we will only take this up the one week.
3.
Collection for
the Salvation Army. Questions asked
as to where the money goes and who is helping with the Red Kettle
Campaign. Is there any way we could
be more help as is seems that the churches have not been contacted for bell
ringing and kettles are not in place for ringers who have signed up. Dunham will bring a kettle to the meeting
on the 21st.
4.
Kids Against
Hunger: Need a chair as Tonne chaired the past years. Date: Saturday 18 February 2012. Pack times are only 1-1/2 hours long,
starting at 10:00, 11:45, 1:30 and 3:15.
Need to call to get a time reserved.
Should have 10 on a team, but they will take anyone as they need
people to fill out other teams who do not have 10, supply the line, move
packed from the line or clean up between groups.
5.
Bock has the
Club Insurance Resource Guide. Lots
of good information that can be used and given out as needed. If you have any questions, see Bock
6.
Basketball
Boosters asked if the club could supply 6 people to run the concession
stand on Thursday 15 December and Tuesday 24 January. Reeve will chair with consensus that 6
good people could be found for each date.
Personius asked
if there was any other business.
Being none, he adjourned the meeting at 7:33 AM
