Your Board has been very busy through December and we’re off to full work-out in January! We had a new automated phone system installed to relieve some of the phone call work load on office staff and the bartenders. There will be more information forthcoming on this phone system for all the members as soon as installation and training is complete.
Two new convection ovens were purchased and if they are not already installed, they will be soon and the ovens they replaced will be surplussed at a set price yet to be determined.
In December the Trustees, Exalted Ruler, Audit Committee Chairman Brad Smith, Secretary, Treasurer, Royal Night Kathy Payne, and Bookkeeper Maggie Stimson reviewed the financials for the first six months of this year. All were in agreement (other than some minor adjustments) that the financial status of the lodge was in good standing. The next review will be turned in soon and the Board will begin working on next
year’s 2019/2020 Budget in February.
Spring will be here in no time and the Board is continuing to seek lawn mowing and weed-eating HELP beginning in February. Please contact me or the office if you have a few extra hours to help keep YOUR LODGE in shape.
The Board of Trustees meets every month on the first and third Tuesdays at 6 pm. Any member in good standing may attend. If you desire to address the board on a lodge matter, please contact Nina in the office so it can be assigned to the appropriate committee for placement on the agenda.
We are seeking help for crab cooking and serving for Weekend in the Redwoods, later in the month, and also possibly March. Please contact me directly (number in paper newsletter).
Respectfully and Fraternally,
Kevin Christie, Chairman, Board of Trustees
