Paula will contact Marilyn to see what her intentions are for her renewal as a board member. With Kevin outgoing as the past president, Larry and potentially Marilyn, we may need to fill 3 board member positions at our next annual meeting. We will look to fill the positions with a member from last year’s class and potentially 2 from general membership, depending upon the response or interest, from last year’s class.
Paula will prepare a letter asking for participation and mail it to Susie to be e-mailed.
Jason gave all members present, a letter from a CPA indicating some of our options to have LBMAA become a tax exempt organization and what would be required. After everyone has a chance to review this information we should vote and decide what should be done.
Our next meeting will be at 4:00-6:00 pm Wednesday July 14th, 2009 at the Lodge for a brainstorming session on what we have accomplished and are planning for the next year.
Meeting adjourned
