2013-2014 Budget:
President Heather Stailey led the discussion on the new proposed Budget. Vicki Gleason, Treasurer, handed out the proposed budget to Guild Members. Heather explained how the board had looked into other places to move the Guild to, but Board was not pleased with the results. It was then decided to talk with the Environmental people in regards to renting just half of the current room used. They were willing to rent half for $540 instead of the current $1080. A voice vote was taken to accept the new rate for 2014, using the East end half of the current room. No objects were noted.
The Post Office box was questioned, but Vicki Gleason explained that to remain a 501 C organization there were certain requirements needed and one of them was to maintain a post office box.
Programs were discussed, explaining that due to the size of our Guild we do not have enough money to have a speaker every month. It was stated that the Guild would like to involve members more often in providing techniques they use or small demonstrations.
Guild members made suggestions that might build up our program budget:
(1) Members make a small donation to the guild which could be a tax write-off.
(2) Guild members donate items for a garage sale, allowing money collected from that to go to Guild program budget.
(3) When members bring in items to give away, such as magazines, those who take them give some small donation to guild.
Mary Bradshaw/ Norma Jean Nyman moved that the QBTB Guild accept the Budget as presented.
Voice vote accepted the Budget as presented. No objections were noted.
Nomination Committee:
Sandy Jarvis present the proposed slate of President and Treasurer to the Guild for 2013-2015:
