Old Business
New board member- Myles presented Deb Gendall as a board member for the term of one year to replace Becky VandeWater’s term. Angels and Elves – Dick Ficke reported the headquarters is open, applicants are streaming in and staff is working well. It is expected applicant numbers may be higher this year. Dental Program – Ralph Lutjen gave a report that a preventative program will be in place at the schools soon. The Madison school will be our test site. He warned the club that if our program is successful, we would soon need to think of a way to increase funding. Dental procedures often run $2,000 per child. The group of dentists in the area will be approached soon about contributing in kind in hopes that our money can go even further. The approval of the 2007-2008 Budget was tabled. We are not sure of what the amount should be to support Kennett Key Club. Charlie will look at his records and report back to us. Request from Children’s Museum will be considered after their presentation in January.The Public Relation committee and Membership committee will meet separately to discuss ideas for promoting the club and attracting more members.
New BusinessThe application of Rob Ruppel was presented by membership chair Dick Check. His sponsor is Dick Ficke. The holiday party will be on December 12th at The 1785 Inn. Myles reported administrative budget is $800 short this year. As the hour was late, we did not get a chance to discuss reasons for this or solutions. Myles received approval from the board to hire a tax consultant to make sure we are filing the correct 990 Tax form for a non-profit. We need professional help to make sure we avoid any IRS fines. Myles announced that future disbursements would require a Disbursement Request Form be completed before Bill can write a check. The form will have the name of the recipient, address and purpose of the amount on the form. He will distribute the form at the next board meeting. Requests None were received. Motion to adjourn at 9:30 p.m. The date of the next Board Meeting is December 5 at the Mineral Springs Cafe or cafeteria at Kennett High Sschool.
