Board Meeting -- July 11, 2007

Highlights:

• Charléne, our exchange student for the coming year, will be arriving in mid-August. Her first foster parents are Alan and Debbie Hoxworth.
• The Dictionary Project for this year is completed, with all books distributed.
• The Board approved, for a one-year trial, the new Rotary Organizational Model.
• The Board approved payment of a left-over medical bill for Andy from Holmes Family Practice. The amount approved was $50.00
• President Todd suggested that annual (or semi-annual, or perhaps quarterly) community blood screenings might be a good fund-raising tool as well as a community service. The Board received the idea favorably, and Todd will gather more information.
• Treasurer Lee suggested that the Board pre-approve writing a check for one-half the proceeds of the fur-lined pot to the Scholarship and Loan Foundation for the 2007-2008 Rotary Year, in addition to approving payment for the year just finished. The Board approved this action.

• Discussed and tabled the new Rotary Organizational Model
• Approved sponsorship of two pupils at computer camp at a cost of $110 (2x$55)
• Approved donating $250 to the Holmes County College Access Program
