Special committees:

New business:
A discussion regarding the change in the timing of Board meetings and whether or not it requires a by-law change transpired. The current by-laws were deemed appropriate because they read: “The Board of Directors may designate regular meeting times for board meetings, which shall not require notice”. However, the website Board of Directors page does require updating as it currently reads: “The Board of Directors meet on the Monday after the General Membership Meeting at 6:30 PM at the Verde Valley Fire Station on Page Springs Road”. The website needs to be updated to read, “The Board of Directors meet on the Tuesday that is eight (8) calendar days prior to the General Membership Meeting at 4:00 PM.”
John Rosenthal asked when an article announcing the next meeting was going to appear in the newspaper. Since Gigi was not at the meeting, Bev volunteered to work with John on wording and submit it ASAP.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 4:30 PM.
Respectfully submitted,
Bev Jackson, on behalf of Recording Secretary
