Rita Isbell’s Home


The following members were present:  Cyndy Horn, Judy Martin, Bonnie Sloan,  Rita Isbell, Peggy Wright and Jo Knudsen.

The meeting was called to order by President, Cyndy Horn at 10:17 a.m.

The minutes from the last board meeting were approved as read.   

Treasurer’s Report: - Total Liabilities and Equity equal $37,367.07.   Bonnie Sloan is  researching interest rates to reinvest funds in CD’s.  An increase in inventory assets is attributed to logo pens the auxiliary purchased to sell.  Bonnie is waiting for an invoice for the auxiliary’s purchase of new logo items.  These items as well as in stock items were sold at the annual homeowner’s meeting and are for sale at the pro-shop. The pro-shop may need new display fixtures which will be discussed with them.  The auxiliary purchased new tennis balls for the ball machine for a cost of $49.  Bonnie is waiting for bills from Dave Delay for sand and toys purchased for rec area and cost of new toilet seats.  The auxiliary has allotted $3,000 for improvements for our community.  Other costs include $73.53 for the auxiliary’s filing of a Fictitious Business Name and new bank stamp as well as P. O. Box rental fee, storage unit, directory update , event overruns, and other items.  Total expenses equal $1,187.67.    (See attached worksheets for further information.)

The amount budgeted for 2011 contributions is $500.  To date, $211.66 has been spent on the Community Dinner.  Originally, $350 was allotted for the Community Dinner.  It was suggested that in November 2011, the auxiliary donate the remainder of the $350 which is $138.34 to the Community Dinner for supplies if these funds have not been used for another donation.  Rita Isbell made a  proposal to donate $100 to $150 of this fund to the Community Chorus.  Judy Martin made the motion and Bonnie Sloan seconded the motion.  A vote approved the motion.

Bunco - It was decided the entire $3.00 per person fee will go to the prize  money.  The auxiliary will furnish the paper goods for this event.  Rita did a cost analysis which showed an average cost of $5.83 for paper goods for the bunco nights.

It was decided there would be not be a difference in prices charged for non-auxiliary members versus auxiliary members for auxiliary functions.

Bonnie will submit  bills to the WACC board and water board for reimbursement of costs for the ice cream social.  The auxiliary purchases and  transports the supplies, and serves the ice cream for the ice cream social.  The cost of this event is split between the WACC board and water board.

Committee Reports:                       
Needles and Pins - Will be held in the rec area for the months of July and August. *
Ways and Means - Cyndy will obtain information pertaining to the invoice of new logo items purchased and will present this information to Bonnie.  The amount of sales generated at the annual homeowner’s meeting will be available at a later date.
LAWCC Website - Cyndy will either send Sharon Auge a picture of herself by e-mail or contact Sharon as to the best way to get a picture to Sharon  for the Auxiliary’s Board of Directors page on the website.
Nominating Committee - The nominating committee is comprised of Dorothy Aitkin, Carolyn Porteus, and Roberta Carlson.  The list of people attending Bunco and other functions was discussed as possible candidates for next year’s board.  There are two positions open on the board in 2012.   
 

Old Business:           
Bunco/Potluck - Will resume in October.  At that time we will know if it will be a potluck or if we will purchase dinner from Almanor Grill.  If the Grill is open we will purchase dinner from them.  A menu will be worked out with the Grill for a dinner costing around $10.  If the Grill is open, wine must be purchased from the Grill at  $2.50 a glass or pay an $8.00 corkage fee.
Welcome Back Hoedown - The change of plans went well.   Sixteen people participated.   People visited and several played boccie ball.  Lunch was purchased individually at Almanor Grill.  Cyndy sent a thank you note to Rayna Simpson for letting us use the boots as decorations.
Ice Cream Social - Went well and received good feedback.  There are two tubs of ice cream left as well as toppings.  This will be served for dessert at the September 19, 2011 General Meeting.  Items such as straws, bowls, napkins and cups left over are labeled and will be placed in the storage unit for next year.  Suggestions for next year include having three separate labeled  tables and using two canopies to cover the serving tables. 
 

New Business:
Garage Sale - July 30, 2011 - Georgia Knutsen will copy the  maps and Judy will pick them up from her.  The maps will contain only streets in our community not individual homes.  Judy will place the maps at the entrance of LAW.  The auxiliary does not furnish garage sale signs for homeowners.  A resident living on the private road wanted to know how she could participate.  It was suggested to her that she place her items at the entrance of the private road, have other homeowners on the street approve the traffic on that road or place her items with someone that lives in the community but does not live on the private road.  She will place her items at someone else’s home not on the private road. An ad has been placed in the paper to run on July 20 and 27, 2011.*
Hot August Nights - August 20, 2011 at the Rec Area - Jo Knudsen, Peggy Wright and Lydia Freeby are in charge of this function.  Mike Angelis is the caterer and is charging $17 -$17.50 per person.  A contract will made with Mike Angelis.  It is not clear if we have to have meet a quota for dinner.  If there is a quota, the question is: Will the auxiliary have to pay the difference if the quota is not met?  Lydia will find out the terms.  The dinner menu is tri-tip, chicken, green salad, fruit salad, beans, rolls and cookies.  Water and soft drinks will be provided.  It will be a BYOB function.  Name tags will be the dinner tickets.  Jo and Peggy will hand out plates to obtain an accurate dinner count.  Judy and Bonnie will check people in.  The dinner count is due to the caterer on August 17.  Buzz Barrett will be the DJ.  The cost of a dinner ticket was discussed.  Children age 5 and under will be free.   Judy made a motion to change the price per person from $22 to $20.  Rita seconded the motion and a vote approved the motion.  The auxiliary decided to absorb overrun costs if there are any.  Overrun costs are included in the 2001 budget.    Cyndy will check the supplies in the storage unit to see what is needed.  Paper to cover the tables can be ordered at the Chester Progressive if necessary.
September 19, 2011 General Meeting - Almanor Grill at 10:30 a.m. - Our guest speaker is Marilyn Gamette who will talk about  .  Our back-up speaker is Sheri Binswanger who will present the history of Westwood.  Cyndy will meet with Almanor Grill and discuss lunch menus.  A suggestion for lunch is a wrap with salad or fries and drink for under $10.00.  The ice cream and toppings left over from the ice cream social will be served for dessert.

Future Agenda Items - Future speakers were discussed.  Bonnie suggested a talk on growing rice in California and the effect it is having on the eco-system.  Rita suggested listening to Sheri Binswanger's presentation of the history of Westwood in Westwood and having lunch in Westwood.  This is a possibility if Sheri is not needed as a speaker September 19, 2011 General Meeting.

Minutes of, Tuesday, April 26, 2011, Board Meeting:  Approved as read

Treasurer’s Report:  Treasurer’s report by Bonnie Sloan is attached.  Thank you for keeping us honest and solvent.  (Still looking for CD ‘s)

     1.There is a concern that our Bunco nights are not paying for the paper goods used.  They now charge $3.00 a player.  It was agreed by the board that $1.00 of that should go towards the paper goods  and the remaining $2.00 used for the prizes.

     2.Other expenses have been the costs of Fictitious Business name application and publication, Community Dinner costs and donation, Storage rental paid for the year, PO Box rental, and misc, equaling $828.82 total.

     3.Dave Delay has purchased one load of sand for the REC area and plans to get another load or maybe two more loads with our approval.  He also purchased the tennis balls for the practice machine which we agreed to pay.

     4.We had couple of more members pay, putting us over last year’s membership by two or three.

     5.Dave Delay mentioned we might purchase a few more racks for displaying merchandise at the Golf Club.  Jan and Georgia—will you look in to this when you take things up there? 

Committee Reports/Other

Needles and Pins will be in the Rec area Tues. June 14th since Peggy Wright is sick and the weather is cooperating.  Judy will post the changes and Peggy will put a note on her door.

Sunshine:  Adrienne posted cards that were sent out—see attached.  Remember to let her know about people needing a card. She’s doing a great job!

Ways and Means: (Thank you Jan and Georgia for all the work you are doing on this)

     1.Georgia Knutsen reported on ordering pens with logos—100 was a good deal.  The actual cost per pen is $1.12, so we agreed to sell them for $2.00.  The extras will go to the Golf club house and/or sunshine baskets or prizes.

     2.Jan Eveland emailed her order for the light weight fleeces and ball caps after she and Cyndy looked over the samples.   There wasn’t time to locate beer mugs nor could we find a frame size suitable for golf score cards.  We will work on those for a later time. 

     3.Twenty small binders were purchased and Jan is designing the covers and spines. Georgia gave Cyndy the 2009 directories—which are many-- and the master for the 2010 directory changes.  Cyndy will count, run 2010/2011 on appropriate paper, and collate for the directory.

Old Business

        1.May 16th luncheon delicious!!!  Georgia fantastic!!!!!  Fun having some spouses.  Thank you Judy, Rita, Cyndy, Georgia

          2.Bunco Going Strong:  We discussed the pros and cons  of Bunco in July and August.  It has to be scheduled for 6:00 PM on Sundays to avoid conflict with the Grill.  Cyndy will check with couple’s golf to see what they are doing for their dinners.  Cyndy will also approach the Grill owners about the Sunday, August 7th date.  Judy Martin will post the change of no Bunco in July.  

            3.Hot August Nights:  Date—Sat. Aug 20th—Buzz Barrett (258-3428) lined up--$350.00-$375.00 Peggy Wright, Lydia Freeby, and Jo Knudsen are the committee. (Board members attending will be Bonnie, Judy, and Georgia, so keys will be available from Bonnie or Judy—Cyndy Horn will be out of town.)   In order to pay for Buzz Barrett, have a decoration budget, and offer a choice of chicken and/or tri tip, the board decided to charge $22.00/person with children under 5 free. (Mike Angelis is the caterer and is charging $17.00 per person which includes tax and tip) If someone brings several older children, they will have to decide whether to pay full amount or for just one plate to be shared.  We are charged for each plate!!!  Last year they used all picnic tables. 

The flier will state the date, Time 5:30-10:00 with the cars 5:30-6:30, BYOB with water provided, entertainment /old cars/dinner by August 15th.  Judy will post the fliers by the 15th of July with RSVP numbers

New Business

       1. WACC June newsletter—see copy attached.

       2. Expenditure request from the Lake Almanor Grill for the following:

                 1.Large flat screen TV to replace small one--$950.00 is Costco cost but guy at the Beehive will match

                    that cost but include installation also

                  2.  3-step stepstool commercial grade required         $98.00

                  3. Large grill scraper      $42.00

                  4. Large Plastic containers with spout flip up lid   $100.00 

 The board decided that these items were more appropriately funded by the WACC and/or the owners of the Grill.  They do not really benefit the total community.  Our projects usually would be like the sand in the park, awning for the clubhouse, concrete for the handicap access for the clubhouse, etc.  Cyndy will talk with the Grill owners and explain.  Cyndy also has talked with Kim at the office to explain our reasoning.  Kim agrees with our vote on this matter. (The WACC  is already paying for the Grill utilities, phone, and garbage this year.) 

 Reviewed Calendar for:

               Monday, June 27th:      This is a Hoedown, but there aren’t any line dancing experts, so our alternative is to learn Bocce ball rules and scoring.  Cyndy will organize Bocce after our general meeting—we start at 10:30 for gathering/meeting/games, followed by the Bar B Q  by Mike Angelis.  $15.00 will cover most of the cost.  Rayna Simpson will provide the boots for decorations with the rest of the decorations at Judy’s house.  Set up about 9:30.

               Saturday, July 2ndIce Cream Social after the WACC/WATER BOARD MEETING scheduled at 10:30 at the park.  Need blenders from Horn/Martin; Rita/Judy to check the supply list that Judy got at the board meeting; Lydia to shop Costco for the list from Cyndy; Cyndy to order ice cream, milk, ice and bring big ice chest; Judy to bring tub for water bottles. Cyndy and Judy have the volunteer list. Cyndy will email Georgia the list for people selling items so she and Jan can call them.   Cyndy will contact Dave Delay for tables from the shed that are needed,. 

                Saturday, July 30th:  Yard/Garage sale:  Who is doing publicity???  When should it go in to the paper and where??? Judy will get the display post for the entrance.  Georgia has the maps.  If people call, they just need to know there will be generic maps at the entrance.  They can make their own sale signs for their own property, keep their profits, and have fun. Cyndy will email the WACC office with the details.  Fliers are on the bulletin boards.

                 Monday, September 19th is the general meeting: Cyndy will consult the Grill for this date/menu quote/and use for our general meeting.  Cyndy is still waiting to hear from Marilyn Gamette—but she could come there OK I think??  Will plan later.

               Saturday, October 15th Wine in the Pines:  Lydia has secured the Red Onion as the caterer.  Cyndy already volunteered the board members to serve?!?!  More information later.

Miscellaneous—Sierra institute Center of Forestry Summer Tours brochure is available.

MINUTES OF THE LAWCC AUXILIARY BOARD MEETING

Cyndy Horn’s Home


 The following members were present:  Cyndy Horn, Judy Martin, Bonnie Sloan, Rita Isbell, and Georgia Knutsen.

The meeting was called to order by President, Cyndy Horn at 11:12 a.m.

 The minutes from the last board meeting were approved as read.   

Treasurer’s Report:   Dues collected total $7,020.  Total assets equal $37,096.88  See  reports for details.  Two CD’s came due.  Bonnie will check interest rates in Chester and other options available for best rates.  The cost of the Community Dinner came to $211.66.  This is less than the $350 budgeted for this event.  It was decided to keep the difference in our funds  for other donations that may develop during 2011.  If the funds have not been used by November 2011, this difference may be donated to the Community Dinner at that time for needed supplies, etc.
Fire Department - The Auxiliary received a request from Chief Randy Fluke, West Almanor Fire Department, for a donation towards the purchase of a Thermal Imaging Camera (TIC) for the first out fire engine.  The auxiliary likes to support the fire department but since it is not part of WACC, Cyndy will discuss our donation of $5,000 with the WACC board.  The WACC board’s approval is required according to the auxiliary’s BYLAWS.  If the WACC Board approves the donation, a letter will be sent to Randy stating the auxiliary’s donation of $5,000 for the TIC.  The funds will be held in the auxiliary’s account until the TIC is purchased.
Dave Delay -There are funds available for Dave’s requests for the community.  Currently requests include purchasing new plastic tables and several odds and ends.  The new tables will be used as extra tables when needed for functions at the park and stored in the shed there.

The meeting was called to order by President Cyndy Horn at 10:44 a.m.

Other board members present included Judy Martin, Rita Isbell and retiring President Georgia Knutsen.

The minutes from the November 15, 2010 LAWCC Auxiliary General Meeting were accepted as amended.

Treasury Report -  A Balance sheet as of January 17, 2011 was handed out which list Total Liabilities and Equity equaling $30,281.73.  The proposed budget for 2011 was presented.  Debbie Holden and Carol Young were members of the budget committee.  It was noted that proposed Member Dues for 2011 equal $7,800.00 which is less than actual collected dues of $8,200.00 for 2010 but higher than proposed dues of $7,500.00 for 2010.  It was decided to list a conservative amount rather than over project collected dues for 2011.  Auxiliary Projects were discussed.  In 2010, $6,000.00 was projected and only $498.75 was spent.  The amount proposed for Auxiliary Projects for 2011 is $8,000.00.   See reports.   Requests for funds for 2011 projects have been received.
Chief Randy Fluke, West Almanor Fire Department - Request for a donation towards the purchase of a Thermal Imaging Camera (TIC) for the first out fire engine.  The cost of the TIC chosen is $9,400.00.  The letter states volunteers plan to have several events to raise $2,000.00 for this purchase.  In addition, homeowners assistance will be requested in making this purchase.  They would appreciate any funds the auxiliary would donate.  Funds will also be budgeted in the Fire Dept./CSD account for the next Fiscal year which begins on July 1, 2011.  (See letter and e-mails for more details.)  The auxiliary’s donation was discussed.   It was proposed that $5,000 be earmarked to be donated towards the purchase of the TIC.  The funds would be provided when the TIC is purchased.
Dave Delay - Request for donations to purchase new plastic tables, several odds and ends and a new vacuum for the clubhouse.  The new tables will be used as extra tables when needed for functions at the park and stored in the shed there.   It was decided the vacuum would be stored in the auxiliary storage shed and used only by auxiliary members at our functions due to the breakage and missing vacuums previously purchased by the auxiliary. 
Purchase of Miscellaneous Items - A new rack for the dishwasher and a new rack for the oven.  A search will be performed to locate these items in the clubhouse kitchen before a purchase is made. 

Carol Bornhorst made the motion to accept the proposed 2011 budget and donations.  Debbie Holden seconded the motion.  A vote of attending auxiliary members approved the proposed 2011 budget and donations.

Georgia headed the meeting with Cyndy taking over officially as President at the January 17, 2011 General Meeting.  Georgia provided historical background concerning the time the new President assumes official duties.  In 1989, officers were installed in July and it was determined that July was too busy.  The auxiliary decided to move the time frame to January.  More recently, the time frame was moved to November due to the number of members leaving for the winter.   The board decided in reviewing the by-laws at the November 18, 2010 meeting that Article 5.3 of our by-laws would be followed and the new term of office would be effective as of the January meeting.    Georgia and Cyndy decided Cyndy would assume Presidential duties at the January 17, 2011 General Meeting.
