Annual Meeting of Board and Membership

 

DIRECTORS PRESENT: Richard Meffley, Margaret Mahaffey,  Mary Jo Davila, Kay Chrisman, John Simpson, Laura DaCosta, Dora Gostanian, Jill Wood and Bert Rettner.

DIRECTORS NOT PRESENT:  Doris Frazer and Paul Boyd

MEMBERS PRESENT:  Members totaled 59 not including the Board members present.  A list of names is attached to the minutes.

 

Richard Meffley called the meeting to order at 12:45  p.m.

 

Richard welcomed members and reported on changes that occurred during 2009.  The most important change being the move to the new facility.  Richard reported that all costs of the move have been paid and no additional large expenditures are expected.

 

TREASURER’S REPORT:  Michael Molinari presented Paul Boyd’s 2009 Financial Recap.

·         Michael read directly from Paul’s write up and a copy is attached, titled 2009 Financial Recap.

·         Paul included three pages showing a summary of costs to prepare and move into the new facility and detail expenditures.  The three pages are also attached to these minutes.

·         Two additional graphs which were not presented but were provided to show the expected income and expenses to 2019.  These pages are also attached to these minutes.  The graphs prove Paul’s point that if the Unit does not increase income, the Unit will lose money causing a 10 year deficit of approximately $193,736. 

·         Paul’s recommendation is to increase player fees by $1 which would provide $16,000 of added income.  At current player volume, this would eliminate most of the expected deficit.

 

DISTINGUISHED SERVICE AWARD

Richard announced the winner of the Unit’s Distinguished Service Award to be Jill Wood.  Richard thanked Jill for all her hard work during the past year and particularly for her very valuable fund raising efforts.  Jill was then presented with a $50 gift card from the Board.

 

DISCUSSION:

Richard invited questions from members.  Financial stability of the Unit was the primary concern and Richard assured the members that for now income and expenses are as projected and approved by the Board.  Richard also stated that the Board would be discussing this issue in 2010 to assure the continued stability of the Unit.

 

ELECTION OF NEW BOARD MEMBERS FOR 2012 – 2011 TERM

The votes were counted and the new Board members are:

Richard Meffley, Kay Chrisman, Mary Jo Davila, Jill Wood, Michael Molinari and Linda Coppersmith.

 

AS THERE WAS NO FURTHER BUSINESS TO DISCUSS, THE MEETING WAS ADJOURNED AT 1:10 pm.

At the beginning of2009, the board voted to begin the process of moving to a new location. This meant that several things had to happen.

First, we had to move out of our old location at Clinton Ave. But we had a lease that ran through the end of2009, so we had to negotiate a buyout of the old lease; which we did by paying a lump sum in April of $6000, and saving almost 3 months rent for the year.

Second, we planned to move to a much nicer location that would cost quite a bit more rent than at the old location. To secure the new location, we had to pre­pay several months' rent; the first month, last month and the 1ih and 18th months rent. Then, to get some of the cabinets, shelves and built-in features that we wanted in the new clubhouse, we spent an extra $6055. As the planning continued, the board authorized and spent an additional $20,000 to provide everything you see in the new clubhouse: new tables & chairs, computer equipment & monitors, everything from new kitchen equipment to an improved alarm system.

So how did we pay for all this? In large part, it was paid for by your contributions, almost $23,000 in donations. Additional fund raising provided over $5000. This included the Silent Action & Surplus Sale. So you all can take pride in the new clubhouse. You helped make it a success.

So how did the club do for the year with all that additional expense? Well, it depends on what accounting method you use. In the past, everything has been on a cash basis, so that any money spent was treated as an expense. It was simply income minus expense equals net income. But this past year we expended money on built-in improvements to a rented clubhouse plus lots of new equipment. So we are writing that expense off over the period of a ten-year lease. On that basis, the club had about $20,000 of net income. But, if you just take income minus money spent for the year, we just about broke even.

So how is the club doing financially on a continuing basis? Unfortunately, we are losing money. It's hard to say how much, but it is probably more than $1000 per month. We will know more as time goes by. The board has voted to put extra money into the clubhouse fund to pay the extra rent. You can consider this as thanks for your generosity in helping with the move, but it also means the club is subsidizing your play at this new facility. In the long run, the board will have to find a way to increase income.
