Old Business:

2016 Officers: Still looking for officer nominees. Contact Tracey if interested in filling a position or nominating someone for a position.

Dues: Reminder that membership fees are due on November 15th.

New Business:

Secretary Report: Todd and Tara suggested that the Secretary’s responsibilities be modified to just taking notes at the official business meeting (the morning meetings). It was also discussed that the official business of the KPBA does not include the business reports for each member’s business. It was suggested that members who have important information they want included in the newsletter should email it to the secretary and it should be 5 sentences or less. Frank made a motion to approve these suggested changes and make them part of the Secretary’s job description. Ruth seconded. It was unanimously approved and will take effect January 1st, 2016.

Roadside Cleanup: The next clean up is scheduled for October 10th at 8am. We will meet at the Home Park and
breakfast will follow at the Homeport.

Brochure Design: Tracey asked for input on the next brochure. CC, Dick, and Scott all volunteered to be on the brochure committee. The committee will review the design and shop around to get bids for somebody to design and print the new brochure.

Annual Dinner and Auction: We need volunteers to take on some of the responsibility. Sign up for: wine donations,
serving wine and beer, picking up ice, coffee service, invites printed and mailed, assisting with the auction, assisting with dessert auction. More items to come as we brainstorm. Rosina and Jessica are currently heading the auction committee and Barb is heading the dessert auction committee.
