Summer Officer's Meeting Held
On Monday, June 30, 2014, the BCREA officers met at Perkins in Rice Lake to plan the 2014/15 activities for the organization. All officers were present.
Dates and programs were discussed and tentative places and programs along with the dates of the meetings were set. Officers are currently contacting the places and people who will be the presenters. When these are finalized, the complete information will be presented to the members. Watch for updates.
The cost of meals and other financial obligations were discussed. The officers voted unanimously to set the meal costs for the 2014/15 year at $12, up from $10. The yearly local dues were set at $15, up from $10. This past year, with coffee and cookies prior to the meetings and the cost of the meal, we lost money each time we met.
The July 23rd BCREA picnic was discussed with duties of the officers finalized. All members will be contacted by email and officers will be calling members who do not respond to the email. It is hoped that many of the members will be able to attend the picnic at the Narrows Park in Rice Lake. Members are encouraged to be at the Narrows Park about 4 pm with the meal being served at 4:30 pm. Members are to bring a dish to pass and any beverages they wish to drink. The unit will provide the meat, plates, napkins, etc. Hope to see you there.
The encouragement for members to bring guests to our meeting was discussed. Members brings a guest or guests will have an opportunity to win an special door prize. The member who brings a guest will have their name placed in a hat for each guest they bring. That the end of the business meeting, a name will be drawn from this hat and a door prize will be awarded. Consider bringing a friend. Remember, first time attendees are provided their meal. It is hoped that they will enjoy the meeting and become a member.
There is still a need for a member to come forward who is willing to be the vice-president of our organization. Please consider helping your organization function.
