New Business

1. Charles and Delores David have attended 2 rallies and would like to become members. A motion was made by Claudia Kennedy and seconded by Hank Smith to accept them as members. Motion carried.

2. Laurie Taylor suggested increasing the fees that the Sheriff collects to increase the funds in the club. She also suggested that we impose a “new” RV fee of $1 per wheel. Hank Smith made a motion to increase missing name badges to $1. Motion seconded by Barbara Lane. Motion carried.

3. Our new officers, Jim Rodda as President and Barbara Stewart as Vice President were installed by Floyd Sturdivant. All of the other officers and position holders are continuing in their positions (Shirleen Smith as Treasurer, Ann Holmes as Secretary, Hank Smith as Wagonmaster, Bonnie Elder as Sunshine Lady, Joyce Worley as Sheriff, and Bob Elder as Webmaster).

4. Our rally fees of $20 per person may need to be adjusted. Shirleen prepared a report showing the overall gain or loss per month after the hosts were reimbursed.  (Chart can be seen with treasurer’s report.) She also states that lowering the rally fees will impact our ability to give donations at the end of the year. The cost of food and catering is rising. Hank stated that he worries that increasing the fees per person will cause some people to not participate. Terry Shemack made a motion to keep the rally fee at $40 at present and revisit the issue in September. Hank Smith seconded the motion. Motion passed. Subject to be readdressed in September.

 

 Announcements:

1. Bonnie Elder asked if any members would like to go shopping this afternoon. She also suggested visiting the Beloved Gallery in Marble Falls to see the painting of Jesus.

2. Joyce Worley reminded us that raffle tickets are still available.

3. Bob Elder stated that they may stop RVing and that a new Webmaster will be needed. Volunteers solicited.
