The meeting was called to order by President John Rudolph at 7:31 PM. President Rudolph reported that Charlie Melton would not be at the meeting and he would be taking the minutes. President Rudolph asked if everyone had read the minutes on the website and Rodger Timmons moved to approve the minutes and Bob McCann seconded and the Club voted to approve the minutes.
Financial Report- Treasurer Rick Johnson presented the financial report of the Club. There was $3,501.13 in the bank, $465.61 cash on hand, $2,431.36 in credits for a total of $1,435.21. Larry Morris moved to approve the Financial Report, Bob McCann seconded, and the Club voted in favor of the Financial Report. Treasurer Rick Johnson passed out the financial report so the members could view their status.
Old Business- President Rudolph reported that he had contacted Jeff at the Shoe Box and they agreed to charge the same amount that the Club paid for the shirts previously- $50 for a short sleeve shirt and $53(I said $52 at the meeting but checking my notes it was $53) for a long sleeve shirt with the name and logo. John told members to go to the Shoe Box if they wanted a shirt and ask for Jeff and they could pick out a shirt or if they didn’t have the color they wanted they could order one.
Rick Johnson reported that Jason Humphrey contacted him about refunding his balance in the account since he resigned and Rick cut him a check.
New Business- President Rudolph reported that Mary Spears had fished the required three tournaments and could be elected as a member. Those who fished with Marty talked about him but it was determined that we were three members shy of the 70% vote required for membership so it would be tabled until the next meeting.
John Vickers brought up electing Fred Jones as an honorary member and discussed that Fred was talking about resigning from the Club because he can’t fish tournaments on Saturday because he has to work that day. John also said Fred had already called his partner for the Extreme Tournaments, and told him to get another partner. After much discussion including the fact that Fred could at any time become a full member because of his balance in the club account, or he could fish in a tournament by paying the entry fee but he wouldn’t earn any points. John Vickers moved to approve Fred Jones as an honorary member based on 25 years of membership, Bob McCann seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
