Presentations by Guests

General Manager’s Report:

• Bob Fenson distributed a plan for the men’s locker room remodeling. He has received 34 paid locker orders so far
• An updated bonspiel schedule was distributed.
• Bob got a quote for new kitchen equipment. A new 6-burner stove with grill and char broiler would cost $2500. Our current equipment is not worth much in trade. Bob will consult with Clyde and others who use the kitchen to their input. The kitchen also needs some smaller items.
• After comparing costs we will switch to Culligan for de-ionized water.
• Bob has received a contract for the National Mixed Doubles Championship that will be hosted by the Bemidji Curling Club next year.

Finance: Dave distributed a current general ledger and discussed some of the more significant changes. The finance committee has not met, but will meet on Tuesday, June 12 at 5:00 pm. A general discussion of summer projects, costs and the financial health of the club ensured.

A motion to approve the financial report was made by Mary Israelson and seconded by Chase Jackson. The motion carried.

Old Business: The status of the web page will remain on the agenda. Discussion of summer projects and lockers was part of the general manager’s and finance reports.

Committee Reports

Bar: Chase Schmitt reported he is meeting with Bobby Skaar about a new tapping system. He will bring a bid back to the board.

Juniors: No Report.

Senior Nationals: They are moving forward.

New Business:

• Aaron Stodgell asked about the clubs bartending options. Should we hire or try to get volunteer bartenders on more league nights? Dave Lundberg thought the league chairs would be helpful in spreading information about bar policies and should be responsible for making sure the bar is clear and the doors are locked at the end of the evening.
• The question of league times, especially on Monday and Tuesday, was discussed and whether league sizes should be capped to one draw. This will be an agenda item for future meetings.

Next Meeting and Adjournment: The next meeting will be Tuesday, July 10 at 6:00 p.m.
Randy Westhoff made a motion to adjourn, seconded by Mary Israelson.

Respectfully submitted,

Randy Westhoff
