Board of Director’s Minutes

The Board of Directors met last week for the February meeting.  Secretary & Treasurer reports were approved as presented.  Our club membership is 43 members.  The following people were approved as potential members: Lori Abott,  Jerry Carpenter, Terry Duncan, and Chris Munkel.

The board received a request from the Martin Girls Softball League for team sponsorship.  This is already in the activities budget and a team will be sponsored this year.  We received a request from Matt Kimsey for financial assistance in attending an academic program in Washington, D.C.  David Spencer will followup for more information.  The board approved a one-page ad in the UT Martin Rodeo program.  Sue Laskey is following up with Richard Robinson about our marketing class project.  Frank Black encourages everyone to attend the UT Martin Circle K meetings on Tuesday evenings, 9 pm in the University Center.

Mid-Winter Conference

Mid-Winter Conference is this weekend.  Linda Ramsey and Evelyn Blythe will be attending from our club.  A silent auction will be held at the conference to benefit the District Foundation.  If you or your company has any products that you could donate to the silent auction, see Linda and Evelyn for more information.
