Meeting minutes, November 2015

Burnett Garden Club
Meeting minutes November 12 2015

The meeting was called to order by Kris H at 7:40 due to the workshop (paint needed time to dry!) Attending were: Kris, Mary C, Rosemary, Mary G, Traci J (new member), Gail L (new member), Georgianne, Pam, Jackie, Lisa, Sue, Charlene, Jennifer (left before meeting), Mark and Teresa (new members), Becky, Tim. ( I think that’s everyone but I’m not sure).
Minutes from the Oct. 8th meeting were summarized by the President as they were posted late. No corrections offered.  Motion to accept minutes, Mary C, seconded Pam. Minutes accepted.
Georgianne gave the treasurer’s report. Beginning balance was $1935.69; funds added brought subtotal to $2049.73 (dues, new members, t-shirt sales). Payouts brought total to $1,922.98 (MSHS memberships, other reimbursements).
New members were introduced—from last month Jackie Gerrick and Charlene Strabel.  This month we have Mark and Teresa Riewestahl, Gail Lando and Traci Johnson. Rosemary has enrolled her 7-year-old granddaughter Dakotah Johnson as a new member – she really wants to be a member.   No other announcements.

Standing Committee Reports.
Holiday in the Park-Lisa & Audrey. Pam suggested setting up as soon as possible for good weather and the ground isn’t frozen, no snow. Lisa plans for wreath from last year. Pam offered metal trees with lights. Lisa suggested anyone can add to the display if they have something to add. Installation will be as time permits.
Special Committee reports—county fair float. Pam plans to decorate her pickup truck bed as a basket full of flowers. Wants donations of artificial flowers.

Old Business
T-shirts available, $10 each. Check blog for sizes still available.
Club cookbooks. Lisa & Jackie. Jackie presented options. Found a likely publisher with good prices and lots of options.  We seemed to prefer the three-ring notebook type. Small run of less than 150 would put retail price at about $13.00. Larger run reduces price substantially, could probably retail at $10.00 with a run of 200.  We need to collect recipes. Pam will digitize any recipes that are hand written if they are mailed or handed over to her.  March 1 is the deadline for getting recipes to Pam. Pam will send out email regarding recipes.
June Garden party in place of June garden/green house tour--third Thursday evening in June. Ruthie will host.

New Business.
Election of Officers for 2016. Slate: Pres-Mary Charmoli, Co-Pres-Kris H., Vice-Pres-Wanda, Treasurer-Jackie, Secretary-Kris H. Charlene moved to accept these officers as the 2016 officers. Pam seconded. Motion carried.

Any Other Business.
Planning committee meeting will be Friday November 20 at 4:30 pm at Pam’s house.
Georgianne suggested we have a meeting where members bring a guest. Pam suggested it be the garden party meeting.  This seemed to be accepted.  Include in old business next meeting to affirm.
Adjourn. Pam moved to adjourn, Mary C seconded. Meeting adjourned at 8:10.
Tonight: Workshop on creating wood block quilt panels.
Next meeting: Christmas Party Potluck at Pam’s. $10 gift exchange voluntary. Club provides paper products—hostess procures. Pam will send out email on signing up for potluck.
Refreshments tonight provided by Georgianne and Susan.
Many thanks to Lisa for hosting tonight meeting at Harvey Allen Outdoor Store and providing paint and brushes and a great place to work!!
