Minutes of Board of Directors Meeting (July 13, 2004)

The July 13 meeting of Ames Morning Rotary Board of Directors was called to order at 7:02 a.m. in the Pine Room of the Memorial Union. Those present were Brian Dieter, Jim Ziebold, Dean Harms, Terry Adams, Scott Bauer, Dave Miller, Tim Ashley, Lynette Seymour and Denise Schmidt.

The minutes of the June 14 Board meeting were approved as submitted.

A brief discussion was held regarding two members in arrears on their dues. One had sent in a check, the other had not been heard from. The second member was voted out of membership. The secretary will notify Rotary International of the member's being voted out.

The treasurer's report showing the overall status for the past Rotary year was accepted. A brief discussion was held regarding the Rotary Scholarship Foundation.

President Dieter discussed this year's three goals per area - Club, Vocation, Community, and World.

A thank-you note was received from the Iowa City Downtown Rotary Club thanking Ames Morning Rotary for the donation. Some discussion was held regarding club history. The club will need a new increase of two members during 2004-2005 to meet requirements. Mention was made about December being family month, and the possibility of meetings in Rotarian's workplaces, considering the frequent non-availability of the Union to host all meetings. Immediate non-available dates are July 28, August 4 (when the District Governor will be present), August 18, September 15, and October 20. It was stated that Reiman Gardens would be available for some of the meetings. February 23, 2005, is the actual 100th anniversary of Rotary, and Ames Noon, Ames Morning, Nevada, and Boone will hold a joint meeting.

A brief discussion was held regarding having a reading area available in businesses.

A mention was made of the upcoming Group Study Exchanges, one in Australia and one in Germany.

A request had been made for United Way video sponsorship. Harms moved, Seymour seconded, a donation of $100. Motion passed.

The District Governor will be present on Tuesday evening, August 3, to meet with the Board of Directors, and August 4 at the regular meeting. Mention was made of a gift.

Dieter asked Board members about preference for Board meeting days. At present, they will continue to be held on the second Tuesday of each month.

The meeting was adjourned at 8:15 a.m.

Respectfully submitted,
Terry Adams, Secretary
