Jeff Z. stated that they would be able to work out deals in the Nov/Dec timeframe if the budget was approved now.

Motion fails

 

Tina Gordon stated she would be willing to have a meeting before the next board meeting to clean it up and see the 2004 and 2005 numbers.

James echoed Tina’s sentiments and is in favor of a called board meeting.

Allison said she would speak to Brian Cox and try to work on a called board mtg before the next GMM.

 

Firefighter Calendars – Jeff Z. spoke with the chairs and they have sold 150 so far. Orders are coming in at 20 or so a piece. Chairs will be at one GMM a month to sell to the membership. 3,000 have been ordered but Jeff has faith that they will sell. Chairs plan on making chapter visitations and selling them at year-end convention.

 

Christine noted that in order to sell the calendars at year-end convention, the chapter needed approval from State Jaycees.

 

PONY softball – there is a meeting tomorrow at Hard Times to determine if we can run the PONY tournament ourselves. PONY and the cities (Raleigh and Cary) have had a disagreement and will not talk to each other, but they seem to be in favor of the Raleigh Jaycees hosting the event and just renting the fields from the cities.

 

Management Area Update (Jeff Gordon)

At the GMMs, do not expand selling outside of the room we are meeting in.
