RCP Directories Ð
Scott Ficke has worked with Kathy Dennis to prepare information for the new directory. Information and ads have been sent to Kathy Walters at the RCP.
Kathy Dennis will maintain an updated STCC roster. When needed, she will be paid to help with administrative work for the Chamber of Commerce. Rhys will also ask her to serve on the board of directors.
New Business:
Due to various reasons, the number of board members has recently decreased. Because of the decrease, president Reynolds proposes to call STCC members to ask if they would like to serve on the board. There are currently 55 members. The positions open are vice president and two trustees. Ms. Reynolds will contact members by March 31, 2006.
Rhys will also speak with Chip Berquist about remaining on the board as corresponding secretary. Mr. Berquist has committed to maintaining the website.
Scott Ficke will contact Scott Borgman to ask about the status of the static clings to be sent to current STCC members for display in their business. Scott will let the board know the status by March 16.
Fund Raisers:
The planned Wine Tasting fund-raiser will be moved to Thursday, March 30th if the date is agreeable with Nancy Phillips at Sunrise Assisted Living. Scott will send out post cards to township businesses announcing the event. He will also check with a company about updating our Springfield Township business list and find out how much that service will cost.
Melanie will call Nancy to see if Sunrise is available on March 30th.
