Meeting Minutes: December 2018, our last Burnett Garden Club Meeting

Kris called the meeting to order at 7:35 on December 13

Election of officers was the only agenda item. Since there were no members willing to step up to the positions of President and Vice President, Kris proposed that we dissolve the club. Other options were discussed.

A motion was made by Pam, amended by Charlene and seconded by Mary C that we set February 1, 2019 as the date of dissolution of the club as the board still has to meet to decide how to disburse funds. The motion carried.

The board will meet sometime in January. They are Kris, Mary C, Linnea, Charlene and Pam. Members are welcome. Mary C proposed meeting at her house where she would serve a meal. The date TBD and will be posted on the blog.

The club thought that funds should go toward beautification efforts, possibly a bench and planter boxes at the Grantsburg sign or an escrow account for flowers to be used by the Village. If you have ideas on how the funds should be disbursed, please send them to Kris or Pam or bring them to the board meeting. If you would like your dues returned to you for 2019, please let Kris, Pam or Charlene know.

Kris will talk to the village to let them know we will no longer be planting the sign garden.

Pam and Sandy will take care of taking the holiday display down.

This has been a very sad decision for the club to take.
