Notes from meeting of board on Monday, March 24, 2008.

Not written as an official board meeting

The board gathered at 7 PM at BenchWarmers on March 24^th. Those present were:

John Long Kevin Poppe Tim Meyer Jared Burge

Gloria Patrick Jim Kemling Ryan Richmond Jorje Geisert

Superintendent Shawn Stutzman

Jim said that Midwest is now billing the club house on a monthly basis and he will put that on an ACH from the bank. Everyone agreed with this decision.

The annual meeting agenda for March 29^th was discussed. An unofficial agenda had been put together by Gloria and Jorje. There were a few items added to it. Gloria had gone through the minutes of the past year and noted highlights to be reported on.

Gloria reported that the committee decided to give the following door prizes and grand prizes at the annual meeting.

Grand Prizes: $100 off a membership fee for 2008

$100 Driving Range Pass

Door Prizes: 4 – ½ hour lessons given by Shawn Stutzman

4 - free passes for 9 holes of golf

4 - $15 of driving range tokens (6)

3 – 4 sleeves of golf balls

The group gave their approval of these prizes.

Bench Warmers asked for a guaranteed number of attendees, it was decided to guarantee 30.

John will ask Valley Bank and Adams Lumber to put the meeting notice on their marquees. Gloria will contact Adams Bank about it. Jorje will make some posters to put on Bench Warmer windows.

Rules regarding the new water hazards were discussed. Shawn will work on this. If new score cards are printed, this will be put on them.

Discussion on an incentive for bringing in new members was held. No decision was made.

The water issue with REX Pipeline was brought up. Kevin is going to follow up on this.

A new club house was again discussed. Some feel that putting money into the present club house is money down the drain. Shawn had some ideas on a frame building. It was decided that there was not enough time before the annual meeting to gather enough information to present to the membership. There is $3,228.12 in the building fund. There is an offer of $5,000 if a new club house is constructed. There is $4,500 budgeted for 08 for work on the present club house. That would give us $12,700 towards new construction. Adams Lumber will be contacted for a price and Shawn will do some checking on his source.

Since the Nebraska Men were playing basketball on TV, the meeting dispensed without any regular business being done.
