Minutes of
10/18/04 were reviewed |
Approved |
| Financial
Report |
GT gave
the Financial Report. We now have a savings account
at Redwood Credit Union because of the higher interest
rates.
Discussion about the budget for next year:
Newsletter is costing more. The solution is to do a
selected Sonoma and Napa Counties mailing.
We sent
no one to Leadership Mtg this Nov. We will send KC to
regional leadership mtg, The Regional is not in driving
distance. We should ear mark money for the Nationals,
so we can send 2 people.
Need a strategy
for getting inductees to renew the year after.
Lost $220
on the Fall Dinner, made $75 on the raffle. Charge $5
for students who come to the presentation but do not
have dinner.
Publicity
was late, the newsletter was late and some people did
not receive it. It was suggested that RN students should
pay full price, but the decision was not to single them
out from other students.
Anita hasn’t
cashed her check because she hasn’t started the
research.
|
The budget
was approved.
ML will check
on sending someone to Regional Leadership meeting.
GT will ask
Anita to give the check back and we will write her another
when she begins. |
