Bid Committee Chairperson’s Report: First let me say it is an
honor to serve this Committee as its Chairperson. I would like to
welcome all the new Members to the Committee, and all the first-time visitors.
It’s also good to see so many familiar faces from our previous rotations.
I am happy to see so many people in attendance, and I am looking forward
to an active year. To kick that off, as many of you already know,
our Committee was invited the January 12, 2008 Assembly of the Eastern Area
of Missouri (Area 38), and we have accepted that invitation. I was
great to receive so much positive feedback and so many commitments to volunteer
in response to my email about this opportunity. I’m looking
forward to that, as well as hearing about our first event of this rotation,
and to filling the appointed subcommittee chair positions. Regarding
appointments, I am happy to report that have appointed a Webmaster, and
will ask for confirmation of that today in new business. Next month,
the committee chairs will be called upon to submit budgets to Joe E., our
Treasurer. If anyone as any questions/concerns about this, please
let me or Joe know. Respectfully submitted, Ian S., Bid Committee
Chairperson
Treasure - Joe E.
Here is a brief synopsis of our current financial situation. According to
the check book register we have $2182.00 in the bank. We have $100.03 on
hand in cash. I’m still waiting to receive the money from the ice
skating event. We need to get the budgets in from the respective committees.
