  • Duke Gala – Ed Connell mentioned the date looking at now is April 29th with the same band but a different room for $300; looking at getting website going and putting auction items on it; Andy is getting the team and things going; Get names and addresses of past contacts for invitation to gala to Phil Taylor

New Business

  • HOPE Vice Chair – Heather Tanza is not actually a Jaycee member – Discussion: Ed Blackman noted that at the HOPE interest meeting only 5 people showed up and no one wanted to help with this position. Brookhill had roles with nonmembers before where there was no other choice. Chip Bright feels that you need to be a member in order to hold a position. Melissa Taylor says that it’s great that Heather wants to stay involved but feels that to have a nonmember in the vice chair role is losing a benefit of membership. Max Hall says that it raises questions having a nonmember in a big leadership role. John Welch says that it raises liability issue since they don’t fall under our clause in insurance and that a guest is at the same risk.  Leah Breckstein thinks we should approach her to become a member. Melissa Sloup mentioned the mentor program that Heather is a member of Big Brothers Big Sisters. Jeff Zabawa mentioned that we don’t run the Big Brothers Big Sisters mentor program and suggested that we name her as a liaison between BBBS and HOPE. Christine Bauer mentioned that if we couldn’t find another Jaycee to be the Vice Chair that the liaison would be good. Carter Pettibone suggested that we ask the project chair to ask Heather Tanza to join and if not then to go with the liaison route. Valerie Kovalak mentioned that Heather is in Virginia now and wants to contribute from a distance; we should look at each of these people on a case by case basis.  John Welch mentioned writing a policy. Jeff Zabawa mentioned that if you write a policy then if you don’t want to be a member then don’t come back is the same as asking someone to not help on a project. It would set a bad precedence; we need the newer members to help with the big projects. Leah Breckstein made a motion to have the project chair ask Heather to become a member. Christine Bauer seconded the motion. Motion passed.
