Others Attending:
Minutes:
Financial:
Carol Mahnke has left her position at Community National Bank.
It was moved and seconded to have Roxanne Kapping take over as
temporary treasurer until elections this fall. Motion carried.
Communication/Advertising:
It was moved and
seconded to purchase window stickers for Chamber businesses to
display. Because they must be ordered in quantity, no year will
be put on them. Mitch will determine if it is more cost
effective to order 500 or 1000. It will have the Quad logo, and
say “Chamber member.” It will say “The Voice of Business.”
Motion carried.
Socials/Charitable:
-
Blue Heron Days:
Mady will pass out Chamber flyers on Saturday. Brian Wentz
is getting them printed.
-
Because the golf tournament
was canceled, it was moved and seconded to put the Spare Key
foursome who had already purchased a spot into the Sandburr
Days golf tournament. Motion carried.
-
There was discussion about a
Candidates Forum on October 13 at 6:30 p.m. This could
include city and school district candidates. It could take
place at city hall, or potentially at the VFW or Trappers,
preferably a site that has no cost. Mary Divine will call
the VFW about getting a room. Mady will contact cities to
see who has elections this year. The Quad Press could be
asked to co-sponsor and be the entity that asks the
questions.
Membership:
Jason
will get the renewal list from Jeannie. Mady will canvass those
who
are up for renewal.
Newsletter:
Next newsletter deadline is September 1 for the October
newsletter. Mady offered to do a column on the legislative
session and small business.
Other:
Directors discussed the need for an administrative
person to take on more responsibilities. Mitch Rehbine said he
would consider it, but it couldn’t be while he was on the board.
Next meeting: 8AM on
Sept. 13 at Lino Lakes City Hall.
Meeting Adjourned,
9:50 AM
