Race Timing/Web: We really needed 2 Shutes for Thanksgiving Day race. Had 595 finishers for that race. Jingle Bell had 312. Results posted for both races. Web: Updated Joshua Acad. Flyer. Ynot2K is updated again. All computer and timing supplies were turned over to the appropriate persons. Gordon is discussing in going in partners with the YMCA on timing. He is trying to find a web person. Has contacted all the colleges. We will not be timing the River Run next year. We have discussed charging a minimum fee to all small races (directors) this was voted agreeable by the board. We will have to have a fixed rate on the web page; some months it is 5-10 hours weekly. Some months nothing (just updating monthly minutes) we can sell our mailing list for $50. 

Banquet: Caterer needs to know 1 week in advance on how many will attend. But will bake accordingly to handle more walk in's. Rob will pick up the $50 gift certificate to Haub's. 

Will start on local donations at the beginning of January. When we have the renewal and membership table, on any new members that sign up, we will take off $2.

Walkers: Need walker's bio. At the Christmas party about 17 showed up. 

Membership: Janet will take this over in January. Will work with Rob for a small amount of time then will take over completely.

Bill Huss will get in touch with the paper. The Toyota race will be on April 5th at 8 or 9 am. Free entry and t-shirt. Plus food afterwards. GERWC will handle race management and timing and results. 

Scholarship: No new info on this.

Old Business:

  1. Art's Council 1/2: No one sponsored this for $20,000. So will have to try another route. The club will do the timing, but will need about 100 or more volunteers. 
  2. Ynot2K: Had a brief meeting about this. It was also listed in the Dec 23rd paper. Got parade permit, Will get 9 police officers. And will need another 7 volunteers. No t-shirts. Will get a print instead. 
  3. Awards for Banquet: High School awards are done. A separate mailing will go out for the dinner and nominations. These will need to be in ASAP. 
  4. Ray Rayl award: We had one nomination. And one nomination for the volunteer award. This will be voted on at the next meeting. 
  5. Officers: Elected Annually. But no limit on the board of directors. No limit on secretary and treasurer either. All officers were reelected, by Board of Directors. They will be announced at the banquet. 
  6. REACT: Is in need of new equipment. Since they help on volunteering so much it was voted to donate a cash donation. We will invite one individual from this team, and donate $300. This was voted on. 
Other: Next meeting will be January 8th. And we will set up a banquet meeting at this time.
