TCWC MEETING MINUTES

JUNE 17, 2011
The meeting was called to order by the President, Janet Boynton, at 7:04 p.m. The Minutes of the May meeting were approved as published. There has been no executive committee meeting this month.

Janet asked for two volunteers to help with the nominating committee and audit. Jean Manship and Judith Dilley volunteered.

Secretary Jimee Hurst asked for a volunteer to take the minutes at the July meeting in her absence. Thanks to Vi Hiltwein for stepping in.

THE JULY AND AUGUST TCWC MEETINGS WILL BE HELD AT THE KENNEWICK SENIOR CENTER ON THE REGULAR MEETING DATE OF 3RD THURSDAY. WE WILL BEGIN AT 7:15, DUE TO THE ROOMS BEING USED BY ANOTHER GROUP UNTIL 7 P.M.

The Treasurer, Len Daugherty, gave his report. A letter from the Fairgrounds office was read, and a check for $250 was returned to the club. This was a cleaning deposit refund. Arlene Spaulding gave the Rendezvous expense reconciliation report.

Janet read Bob Gough's report on the Rendezvous in his absence. He has ideas for next year already. Arlene mentioned that her reception committee worked hard keeping things running smoothly at the door. Janet read some Thank You notes from out-of-town participants. There was a lively discussion on good points and things that didn't work so well.

OLD AND NEW BUSINESS
Janet alerted members that they need to be thinking about volunteering to be an officer next year.
Arlene read a nice note from Will Hayden.

Respectfully submitted,
Jimee Hurst, Secretary
