CALL TO ORDER:  Meeting was called to order at 7:35AM by President Savage.

 

INVOCATION: None

 

Minutes & Secretary's Report: Secretary Jahncke is out of town; his report and minutes of the September meeting were thus deferred until available.

 

Treasurer's Report: Frank Kawase reported that the balance in savings is $3,469 and in checking $31,585. Frank raised the issue of potential impact of change of meeting location. Ray Hansen reported that the Elks Lodge is planned for demolition in April, resulting in no fiscal impact to the club this calendar year.

 

Assistant District Governor: ADG Lewis was unable to attend the meeting.

 

President's Report: President Savage shared items from the monthly President's meeting.

(1) The district is promoting Business Rotarian of the Year. A nomination form was passed around - anyone wishing to make a nomination should send forms to Bob for discussion at a future board meeting. (2) the district is again reminding clubs about the District Simplified Grant. We used the $1500 grant for our dental clinic last year.

 

Director's Reports:

 

Club Service-Membership: It was noted that our club has been listed as "No Report" under attendance for the past few months. Bill Hite will follow-up to ensure our numbers get reported as well as our new members. Jay Kramer was unanimously approved for membership.

 

Club Service-Fellowship: Jim McKamy reported that he is still searching for a venue for the poker party. Once secured, the date will be announced. Anyone with suggestions (or a house big enough!) for location should call Jim. David Schoen asked - and got - consensus on the date of December 15 for the family Christmas Party. The Club will be dark at noon, meeting instead at 6:00PM at the Elks Lodge. It was also noted that Claude Jones announced the upcoming social - dinner and harbor lights at the Balboa Yacht Club December 19.

 

Community Service-General: No Report

 

Community Service-Youth: Bob Radde is our liaison with the Interact Clubs. He passed on to us their request for financial support for a new Web page for Fullerton HS Interact. The Club budgeted $1500 for the year to support FHS and Sunny Hills Clubs, as well as to assist Sunrise with their support of Troy High. The cost of $180 for the year was unanimously approved. Bob also asked to calendar a brief presentation from the FHS Interact coordinator at an upcoming club meeting. Joyce Capelle reported that the Program Committee is filling January and February dates - a combined Rotaract/Interact program might be of interest.

 

International Service: Bob Clark provided an updated on the Paul Harris DVD project. The DVD consists of the original 25-minute Paul Harris (with minor editing) plus a new 5-minute section. We will be producing 1000 units at approximately $2.00 each, well within the $3500 budget. Bob also reported that the El Sauzal project septic system will closer $7,000, not $5,000 as originally estimated. The Oceanside Club and the Ensenada Club declined to contribute towards the project. Possible sources of funding for the additional $2,000 were discussed. Bob will make an appeal to the Club next week and will also investigate the district matching grant. He feels that the project has time-urgency in that construction of this type is not suited to the rainy season.

 

Vocational Service: No Report  

 

Old Business:

 

  • At our previous meeting, we discussed inviting RIPE Wilhelm Stenhammer to attend a Club meeting. Since Les Christensen knows Mr. Stenhammer, it was suggested that Les extend the invitation on behalf of the club.
  • We revisited the issue of what, if any, gift to provide for the upcoming visit to Korea . We agreed to allocate up to $500 for the team of Mike Oates and Daniel Kang and to offer Fullerton H.S. music CD's to take as individual gifts.
  • Bob reported that his department now has 80 signs, posts are on order, and installation will be on an "as time is available" basis. Vern Andrews reported that the cost of the signs has gone up significantly since the project was originally approved (from $40 to $48 per sign). The board agreed to pay for the increase but will share the bill with Fullerton South.
  • Bob distributed a copy of the Club by-laws. After consultation with Lee Brockett, by-laws changes may be proposed for future board approval at a later meeting.  

New Business:

  • With Greg's departure, Bob's advancement, and Joyce's election, several board vacancies now exist. There are also open position in several key areas. It was agreed that Bob Clark, Jr. would now serve as Vice President in addition to his role as Director/International Service. Joyce will serve as both President-Elect and as Director/Youth Services. Juliane Haynes will be asked to identify a new chair for the Senior's Christmas Party. Jim  McKamy will ask if any of the Newest Nine are willing to take on the task. Ray Hansen will be asked to fill the role of Membership Development and to recommend someone to oversee Classifications as the two positions need to work well together. Chris Fraschetti was suggested for the Classifications role. Diane Masseth-Jones is chairing the Speech Contest previously shared with Dale Hardner.
  • The November meeting conflicts with the Veteran's Day holiday. The board agreed to move the November meeting to Thursday, November 18.
  • The district has set the goal of having each club at 100% of Paul Harris Fellows. Wally Bartelt is in charge of this task for our club and will be invited to the next meeting to discuss the goal and how we can help achieve it for our club.
  • Bob relayed a question from Bob Sattler, Foundation President regarding composition of the CSUF library committee. Bob will reply that John Phelps and Jim Young are two of the four committee members.
  • The district is also encouraging participation in the upcoming Special Olympics.  

 

Adjournment: Meeting adjourned at 9:15AM.

 

 

Next meeting: November 18, 2004
