REPORTS:

  • Pres. Hamilton reported:
  • One of our most active members, Neil Miller, passed away this past month. He will be truly missed. This does create a vacancy on the Board.
  • Jim Allison is making progress in writing the Kiwanis de Amigos Guidebook for new members, and it will be submitted to all members via email for their input.
  • The general meeting on August 5th will be held at Old Pueblo Grille at 7 P.M.
  • Alan Tonelson is negotiating the price of the Installation Banquet with Old Pueblo Grille. The Installation banquet will be Saturday, September 27th.
  • Bob Mola, Alan Tonelson and Betsy Ferris need to complete their background checks as per KI requirements.
  • Nate Benedict will be joining a Kiwanis club in Kingman, AZ while maintaining his membership in Kiwanis de Amigos since he will be spending approximately half of his time in each community.
  • Kiwanis International has made several changes to the organization’s by-laws and these changes have been communicated to all members via the monthly KI magazine. Each club must submit confirmation of these revised by-laws, and identify any unique by-laws specific to their local club (i.e. meeting dates/times/locations, etc.).
  • Treasurer Verburg reported that the Southwest District membership dues (excluding new member’s dues) will be increased from $25 per member in 2013-14 to $30 per member in 2014-15; to $35 in 2015-16, and to $40 in 2016-17. He explained that this will in effect reduce the amount of revenue our club can retain by a similar amount. He recommended that the Kiwanis de Amigos increase its dues by $10 in 2014-15, and another $10 increase in 2016-17. This would mean that the club member’s current dues of $180/year would be increased to $190/year in 2014-15 and to $200/year in 2016-17.

OLD BUSINESS:

  • Kathy Bayer moved that the recent changes to the KI by-laws be approved. Dave Betts seconded the motion, and the motion carried.

Dave Bertagnoli seconded the motion, and the motion carried. The motion will be presented to the general membership after giving all members 14 day prior notice via email.
  • Ed Verburg moved that Nate Benedict be given Senior Member status for the 2014-15 administrative year. Dave Bertagnoli seconded the motion, and the motion carried.
