OLD BUSINESS

Treasurer’s Report: The Treasurer’s Report was given by Jim Poe. Jim provided a new CPCC Treasurer’s Report dated 3/7/05. Total new membership deposits, $210.00; 50/50 raffle deposit, $100.00, for a new club balance (at the end of February) of $3,508.33.

If anyone would like an updated club roster please let Jim know and he’ll get you one. (Due to personal information on the rooster, Jim doesn’t want to make a bunch of copies and leave them on the tables at the restaurant.)

Secretary: Shaylynne again asked if anyone would be willing to take over as secretary as this is her third year now and she really doesn’t have the time anymore. Unfortunately, no one offered.

NEW BUSINESS

Web Master: Pete didn’t have anything new to report, only that members should check the website for upcoming events, etc. Also, the McCoy’s have not been receiving any club emails. Pete will look into it.

Club Historian: Keith not present.

New Business Continued:

Clothing: Vicki was not present at the meeting but she had spoken with Phil regarding the problems with the current clothing vendor. It was decided by a club vote that Vicki will change to a new vendor. She needs to make sure that the Club owns its logo and that we get it back (both digital and hard copies). Shaylynne will look in the “green file folder of club info.” to see if there is anything in there regarding the logo.
