AGM REPORT 01/31/2017

1/31/2017

1 Comment

 
As I am sure everyone is aware, 2016 was an interesting year with one surprise after another. With costs constantly going up and attendance down, it is nearly impossible to make ends meet. It seems we nicely get ends to meet and someone comes along and moves one end.

It is clear we are unable to operate at a constant loss on most parties. To that end, a lively discussion was held on where we go from here.

The attendance at the AGM was really good and we feel there is still a lot of interest in keeping the club going and we got a lot of ideas of how we can go forward from here. 

The Board stays as it is with the addition of Shelagh Boggs and we welcome her. I am sure she will be a great asset.

A big thank you to Lynn Hedekar for putting up a Face Book page for the club. It is looking good.  On page 7 of this newsletter, Lynn has written an explanation of how to get on to that website.

As Tommy Johansen is stepping down, we want to thank him for the time spent on the Board. A big thanks to everyonethat shows up at our funcions to help; you are a great part of this club's success.

On behalf of the board,
Yours truly, Niels

Treasurer's Report for 2016

1/30/2017

0 Comments

 
​For the 2016 calendar year, the club lost $1681.40.

So, that was not a great year financially, but we are still able to operate with the modest reserve that we have in our accounts.

Our loss was largely due to a couple of our dinner/dance parties that were not as well attended as in previous years so a number of suggestions were made with respect to those parties.

Please make your reservations early so that a decision on cancellation can be made. It was suggested that a slightly higher ticket price be instituted on both our dinner/dance parties as well as our smaller afternoon events. 

Ath the AGM, a motion was made and passed to increase our annual membership dues to $20 per person per year. We have not seen an increase in these dues for a long, long time so we are sure that our members will be pleased to support this change and others in order to help our club deliver this qualtiy newsletter and the many quality cultural events that we have come to expect from our club.

​Respectfully, Tom Hedekar - Treasurer

Highlights from AGM 2014

1/15/2017

0 Comments

 
  • The motion that was introduced last year to allow Supporting Members to vote along with an amendment to the motion to allow Supporting Members to also sit on the Board of Directors was passed.
  • A total of seven members were elected for the  board and they join the two returning members for a total of nine on the Board of Directors.
  • I would like to thank all the members that volunteered to serve on the Boards and especially to Niels John Nielsen and his wife Johanna for their many years of service. Niels leaves big shoes to fill, but he has fortunately agreed to stay on the Board for another year as Past President so we may benefit from his experience.
  • Finally a big thank you to Jytte Larson for her years of service mailing our newsletter. We are fortunate that Gill Johansen has agreed to take over this important job.
  • Respectfully submitted by         -John Jensen
