Program
Video from RI on its incredible program to eradicate polio.
Henry Lee, our new BBRC Treasurer, will give a quick primer on our club’s finances and how we keep track of the moneys.
Short discussion on the Northwood Hall venue/lunch contract and how we pay the cost. There was a member survey last year on the merits of different scenarios. The board recommended a compromise solution: Charge all members a set annual fee of $216/member (to cover some of the venue/lunch minimum fee), and simultaneously decrease the lunch cost from $14 to $10.
Phil X wins the raffle.
