     Marty:
The final accounting for the Wine Tasting/Auction will be completed in the next two weeks. Money is still coming in. Kathy Callinan will complete the final report.
     Gary: The Generators on Demand auction Item was returned and will be used at the Golf Tournament raffle. There is a need for programs/speakers for Club meetings during the Spring. Contact Marty or Gary with your possibilities.

     Next meeting will be at Luigi’s at noon on March 4, 2020.

     There will be five Wednesdays in April and 3 more months this year. The 5th Wednesday is usually an evening meeting. We will soon be discussing the format of these evening meetings.

Discussion:
The current dues and meal charges do not cover the cost and thus creates a deficit in the operating budget. Gary will summarize the suggested solutions and the Club will vote on the solution to enact.

The Five Avenues of Club Service were reviewed and Chairs were confirmed. Club Service: Marty, Vocational Service: Gary, Community Service: Joan, International Service: Bill O, New Generations: Amber and Jan. Committee membership should be established as soon as possible.
