Board Matters for May

 
 
 
A number of decisions were made as always at our monthly Board meeting. See how they affect you.
Main items agreed at the Board meeting are below – these were advised to members at Wednesday's meeting.
 
  • Fund raising activities for the Club’s projects during the year amounted to about $46,000, excluding the +$22,000 raised for MS in the MegaSwim.  This is about $4,000 below the budget.
  • The Board approved funding the following programs:
    • Rotary Foundation $3,000;
    • PolioPlus $1,000;
    • Sumba Island Eye program $2,000;
    • Gift vouchers for Bayside CC Youth Awards – approx. $700.
  • The Board decided to target a slightly larger surplus than budgeted for the year, so that funds on deposit at the end of the year would be in the order of $40,000.  There is an expectation that the 2013/14 Board will need to budget to spend some of the Club’s funds on deposit to maintain the support for the Club’s key programs, as fund raising activities may be constrained compared to previous years.
  • The Board approved that the TAC Breathometers could be located at licensed premises outside the immediate catchment area of the Club, if no suitable venues were able to be secured, to ensure that we could maximise the potential funds raised.

  • Lyn is chasing up the 4 'Rotary at Work' high vis vests if anyone has them (they were used at the Jazz Jamboree).
