OLD BUSINESS:

Audit Committee: Dave Greene reported that Paul Morris was still working on the audit..... but not to worry, everything is OK.... He is attempting to set up a better way for future book keeping I.E. cut off dates etc...   Final report next month.

Budget approval: A lot of good discussion ensued. We approved the budget for the coming year with the following amendments.... Change the cost of meals to be $6,118.00 the same as Expenses $6,118.00. ALSO.... increase the expense
for complimentary meals to $500.00 as we are expecting more invitations for membership thus more comp. meals....

NOTE... there is $160 in income (donated by Dan Deery) and no expenses for the Golf outing. This has been deleted in place of the new promotion of our Flag Display sponsorship.

The great amount of carryover from last year was also discussed. Perhaps we should fund (unnamed as yet) project to best put the SERTOMA name in front of the community... Any ideas ?? All else is OK  Motion made by Carlin, 2nd. Tom, carried.

Pancake Breakfast: Carlin is making up more tickets. Posters will also be ready by next week.... Carlin will see that tickets get into the hands of people at UNI that aren't always at meetings. Dave Greene will pursue others, and also some Waterloo Banks. Also see about marquee use at US Bank. 

Bylaws & Constitution: Bill Robinson led a lengthy discussion on updating the Bylaws & Constitution .... By the end of the discussion I think we have made our final corrections which have now been handed to Donna Robinson for retyping and distribution to the club in another week or so. Constitution motion by Carol Cooper 2nd. Carlin, motion carried. Bylaws motion made by Bill Robinson 2nd. By Bob R. motion carried.

NEW BUSINESS:

Fall East & West District Conference will be in AMES Sunday Nov. 10 at the Starlite Best Western. The fee including noon lunch will be $25.00+- . We hope to have a good representation from our club going. 

Ray McIlvain Estate: A call has come from Bob Braun, a lawyer representing the Estate, regarding funds yet to be distributed from a trust of Ray McIlvain.... We should hear the results of this perhaps in another 2-3 months.

Funding request:: A request from EPI was reviewed which at this time is for a particular deaf persons need. (A Strobe light fire alarm) This type of funding we normally don't respond to.... However.... This might be a venture in responding to a need from an "organization" ... not just one person.. We approved the payment of $125.00 to an Eric Christiansen of EPI to pay for
this light. Further discussion will be required with Eric to discuss future expenditures of up to 3 to $500.00 a year. Motion made by Carlin, 2nd. Tom.  ... Carried

Presidents comments: Cut short by time restraints.....
