March 2007 Meeting Minutes

The meeting was called to order @ 2:30pm following lunch at “Spices” Restaurant. Beth Hall, Susan Wallace, Nancy Ryback and Anita Chopra were present.

Nancy Ryback, treasurer, presented the 2007-2008 Budget. It was approved.

A suggestion was also made to ask Marjorie O’Brien to take the position of treasurer next year as Nancy will be returning to the United States.

A proposal was made to send a cheque to National for dues and ask for a receipt. We have never received a receipt in the past. We still have not received a bill from National but they need to be paid before we change officers in June.

The Board also decided to make a charitable donation this year for HK $4,000 out of surplus funds. The Board members present decided that the donation be made to SoCo as a SoCo representative will be speaking at the April meeting. They are an excellent Hong Kong charity. The cheque will be presented after the Speaker finishes her presentation.

The meeting was adjourned at 3pm.
