Club Board of Directors Meeting Minutes,
December 28, 2005
The meeting was held December 29th, at Slapshots Bar & Grill, 185 Woodstock Parkway, Woodstock, GA 30188. 770-516-4921. Board members
present were Cy Peterson, Sheryl Moreland, Jayne Hughes, Larry Wheat, and Marianne Torchia.
1.
This was the first meeting held at Slapshots and Board members were asked their thoughts on using
the facility as a regular meeting place.
In addition to reviewing the menu, Board members also toured
the facility including the meeting room in the back of the building. Some concern was expressed regarding the volume
of the live entertainment which seemed to be kind of loud even
in the meeting room. Slapshots
management assured the Board that there was no live music scheduled
on Tuesday nights, which is when our meetings are held.
2.
Jayne led a discussion about the newsletter including
procedures and responsibilities.
Jef agreed to take primary responsibility for newsletter
publications starting with the January issue.
After much discussion, the Board decided to begin publishing
the newsletter on the web site.
Two issues arose regarding this decision:
a.
Since the newsletter is funded by membership dues, only
members should have access to the newsletter. The Board agreed that password protecting that
portion of the web as a members only section
was a good solution.
b.
Since some of our members do not have access to the
internet, a hard copy will be mailed to those who request it.
