I agree with Lyle. I also would vote to approve toilets for the non-winter months.

Three board members heard from. If we vote this way all board members should be heard from (yes/no/abstain) as a courtesy to the board members.

I too will be traveling back from Missoula that evening. ..... As far as porto sans go the arrangements made between Stimpi and the Club were discussed and Board approved regarding the DRO. That may serve as a basis arrangement for Tournaments and the Club moving forward. This would need to be agreed to again. The unit in place at DR Will be picked up this week and new arrangements will need to be made for HB and DR for the LCO. ... ...Further, regarding the sponsorship forms for sponsorships at PP and DR.: the terms and content of a commitment between the Club and another party should be Club reviewed and approved. I'm in favor of the Board meeting again before too long to cover these and other matters, especially in light of the big PP meeting coming up. I would also be willing to host the meeting a week from this Sataurday at the Sichuan Cafe at 9:30 am. Gordy

So that sounds like another "yes" vote for Port-O-Sans for about a month around the LCO.

This sounds like we have stuff that requires more than just a simple yes or no vote, so I agree we should meet.

I'll send out an e-mail.

All 6 Board members met at 9:30 Sat. morning and covered a lot of serious ground. Mainly we want to try to get everyone we can to the meeting this coming Thurs. at the West Community Center @ 6:30 pm. Come show your presence in support of permanent disc golf course at People's Park. Our chances of getting the green light for baskets will be greatly aided by your attendance.....Other notes..... Kevin brought the Club $200 for 10 new members and renewals; that makes over 80 current members for 2010! We agreed he'll need a re-stock of Gateway putters to meet the continuing demand for SDGA Membership. Lyle brought in $110 from the Club weeklies. I will asses the total revenue Lyle and his crew have amassed for the Club, report it here, and continue to update.....Bob brought in the $110 from the third PP Benefit....On the debit side Jeff got paid back for his investments in the sign upgrades at DR. He has put a LOT of work into those so give him a 'thank you' when you see him. The Club also purchased a T-box sign package for the LCO for $65. Additionally the Club also kicked down $100 to the INWS as an ' Instant Win' Basket Toss Sponsor. Come to the Sunday installment of the LCO at Four Mound and win a DGA Mach ll instantly if you toss an ace at the CTP Qualifier. ....It was also agreed that the Board will meet again after LCO to implement some essential modifications for DR. I'm heading to 4-mound now. See you later. Gordy, SDGA Resident.

If I was reading my notes while compiling this it would also reflect that Joe Barnett and the Midnight Maniacs also collected $17 for the Club. Good work Joe B.

This is a typo, correct?

23 players at $10 per person = $230 raised.

Everyone that played got a mini that was purchased for the PPBB by the INWS and cost $115.

$115 was reimbursed to the INWS for the purchase of the minis.
$5 bought 7 raffle tickets that were given out to 1st and 2nd place in the three men's divisions and 1st place in the women's division.

This comes to a total $120 deducted from the $230 for a balance of $110.

Kevin still has minis to use at Benefits later or that he can sell for $4-5 each.

And seven people have a shot at a DGA Mach 5 powder coated basket to be given away at the Flippen Ze Disc the INWS Finals in Wenatchee.

Not yet. We'll post when one is scheduled.

Would it be possible to send out an email notification to all current members regarding the next SDGA club meeting as well as posting it here?

I try to keep tabs on this forum but might miss the posting. An email notification would be super helpful, if possible.

Thanks a bunch!

I also wanted to add a request that you post a notification of future SDGA Board meetings as well that includes proposed agenda items for discussion and a deadline for members to submit input to the Board on those items.

I think the membership would feel more represented if the communication process was formalized a bit more.

The Board was voted in by the members to run the club and pursue our agreed upon missions. I thank each Board member for their efforts and I understand it's much more work than people want to acknowledge.

If the members have a timely opportunity to submit their opinions about issues then the Board makes timely decisions to put those ideas into motion, the system is working as planned.

Not everyone will agree and not every idea will move forward. However, everyone will be heard and the majority will rule and the minority has to accept the outcome as a part of the process we've all agreed to follow.

I thank everyone who is making an effort to promote the growth and enjoyment of the sport of Disc Golf.

I think this is a good idea to get club members more involved in the process.

I concur. Is there any possibility of this happening for the upcoming meeting?

Hey Lesli, I think that posting the proposed agenda prior to the meeting is a great idea. The only problem with that is that the board meets one hour before the Club Meeting to set the agenda for the upcoming meeting. Maybe the board could correspond among ourselves using email to pre-set the agenda a week before the actual meeting.

Do you think that posting the agenda a week in advance of a meeting would iincrease the attendance of the meeting.

I don't know how true this statement is, elections aside, there are usually only 15-25 members present at any club meeting. It's usually the same people that attend these meetings. With 80 some current members this effectively allows a minority to rule and the majority to accept the outcome of these meetings.

These meetings are open to anyone that wants to attend. Anyone may participate in the discussions. Only current SDGA members may vote at the meetings.
