The Eboard Meeting Minutes from 9/26/04 and 10/06/04 were submitted and approved.

Executive Session from 13:10 until 14:00.

Reports:

President:

· Next Monday, November 1^st, is Polo shirts order deadline. 46 ordered so far.

· General Business Meeting Wednesday, November 3^rd – main topic will be the 2005 Budget.

Vice President:

· None

Secretary/Training:

· Thomas Rey gave bad information during last week’s mandatory briefings. We probably need to set up more to correct the errors , especially the one where he insinuated that “bid leave” could be effected by training.

Treasurer:

· Account Balance Sheet submitted. KO presented the 2005 budget. This will be on the agenda for the November 3^rd Business Mtg.

New Business:

· Operation Candy Cane

MB requested money from Local to go towards boxes of daily essentials (toothpaste, etc.) to be airlifted to troupes out of Ft. Hood in Afghanistan, Kuwait, and Iraq.

OB motioned for the ZFW Local to allocate $250 for troupes from Ft. Hood in Iraq, Kuwait, and Afghanistan. Seconded, passed unanimously.

· Rountree T-shirt difference

Although it can’t be proven that the Local was shorted 1 box of Convention T-shirts, the Local was about 40 shirts short. Mr. Rountree has already given the Local a check ($520.40) for the amount of the missing shirts to make up for it. The Eboard discussed giving back Mr. Rountree ½ of the refund since we aren’t sure someone didn’t simply “walk off” with the shirts (they weren’t counted the day they arrived).

PP motioned to return $260.20 to Mr. Rountree for compensation for our failure to count the convention shirts and find a shortage, and also for his hard work for the Local.

KO motioned to amend the amount of $260.20 to $520.40. KO added that “we can’t blame Brian for the shortage… we should eat it.”

PP motioned to amend the amendment, changing return $520.40 to return Mr. Rountree’s check to him. The motion to amend the amendment was seconded and passed. The original motion also was seconded and passed. Mr. Rountree’s check will be returned to him immediately.

· Holiday Cards $

Eboard discussed what to do with the $500 - $600 normally spent on Holiday Cards.

PP motioned to repurpose the money slated for Holiday Cards to the Membership Service Committee. No Second – the money is already there.

OB motioned not to buy Holiday Cards and leave it at that – don’t spend the money. Seconded; passed, with 1 abstention.

The Board then discussed possibly purchasing something for the Members this year, such as hats with logos, small items, etc. It was decided that subsidizing something might be a better idea, and then sell to Members at a price break.

· 2005 Budget Review

Questions:

Why more for Business Meetings budgeted in ’05 than ’04?

- John Carr will be attending February’s meeting

What is “Communications?

- internet

Why was “Social” bumped up to $2,500?

- We are giving more as a Local
