- Tim will donate some spirits to the club for consumption
at the Luncheon
- I Bonds
- Tim Barnes investigated switching some of the clubs’
CD’s to iBonds. He discovered ibonds
will currently pay about 9.75% for
six months then switch to a lower rate based on inflation. The term is five (5) years with a three
(3) month interest penalty if cashed in early. The maximum investment is $10,000
- After a discussion the Directors approved the treasurer
to cash in two club CD’s worth about $8,100 and invest them in iBonds. The
ibonds are liquid and the high six-month rates covers lost income if a cash
in is required.
- Tha directors approved to hold one CD in reserve
to cover any emergencies in operating cash flow.
- Boy Scouts
- Troop 64 assisted the club at the Flea Market with
loading the truck which removed the unsold items. One member proposed the club donate $100
to the troop for its assistance. Another
member, who spent many years in the scouts, disagreed saying this action
was a community action by the scouts who expected no payment.
- After some discussion the Directors vote to
approve the payment.
The
meeting adjourned at 11:05 AM.
Respectfully submitted,
Fred Willis, Secretary
