Board of Directors meeting
Tuesday, Jan. 3, 2012
Present: Board members Sirs Jerry Burgess, Bob MacIntyre, John Hoghaug, Reg
Shaleski, Bud Perry, Dick Nelson (outgoing), and Bob Brezsny (outgoing).
Absent: Board Members Sirs Ken Stanford, Bertin Hall, and Francis Wiley.
Meeting was called to order at 1:20 p.m. by Present Jerry Burgess.
Minutes: There were no minutes for December 2011.
Treasurer’s Report: Sir Dick Nelson (after 20 years service) handed out the financial
overview to incoming treasurer Sir Reg Shaleski. We started 2011 with $1,832.06
and ended December 2011 with $1,309.97.
OLD BUSINESS
So far $250 has been allocated and paid to our waitresses as a 2011 gratuity. An additional collection from members netted $295 for the gratuity thus far. Any excess
above the $250 (which will be repaid to our budget) will be given directly to our
regular waitresses.
NEW BUSINESS
The board will solicit a subcommittee to develop a budget for a February 2012 review. Sirs Jerry Burgess, Jon Hoghaug, and Reg Shaleski will review potential 2012
expenses with Finance planning meeting to be held on January 10, 2012.
Sir Jamey Heiss will report on the best time (dates) for the Annual International 2012
Convention to be hosted by the Redlands Roundtable. Sir Jamey is the Convention
Committee Chair and has tentatively identified Sept. 20-23, 2012, with September
27-30 as alternative dates, at the San Diego Bahia Hotel. Members input for activities is solicited - please contact Jamey with ideas or comments.
It has been suggested, as a way to get better acquainted with each other, that each
member, sometime during their birth month, provide a “Quote of the Day” at our
meetings (also why this particular quote has meaning for them). Also, members are
encouraged to share their recent travels/trips as the weekly program. You know that
the “Knights got talent.”
Sir Bob Breszny has bound copies of the Sparks going back to around 1995. The
suggestion is to give these copies to Smiley Library archives. However, the chapter
loses “control” of these records once donated. Any other ideas or comments?
Respectfully Submitted: — Bud Perry, Secretary
In Search of the Grail
About five years ago or
so, when Redlands Round Table
members under my direction
coordinated the International Convention, I remember suggesting
having it in Redlands. The idea
was shot down pretty quickly,
as members strongly believed that
Redlands does not represent
what visitors envision when they
come to vacation in California.
There is a lack of faith that people will come to Redlands for a convention,
because it’s not an internationally recognized city.
I’m told that our table has never actually hosted the annual convention
here. The slightly lesser-attended mid-year convention has been hosted in Redlands.
Sir Jerry Burgess appointed me as the convention chair again; and this
time, I stand firm that our unique city can pull off a convention.
We all know there are plenty of wonderful places, programs and events in
“Our Town” that make this historic college town unique and special; and while
we will share these features with our visiting guests, may I point out that the primary mission for our convention is business, and the future of Round Table. The
convention is not so much about pleasure and vacations, and I imagine that
Round Table business should be a primary priority irregardless of where the convention is held.
As I am a working man, it is honestly convenient for me to work locally.
I welcome ideas and suggestions for topics that should be discussed during
the convention. And I welcome members of Redlands and San Gorgonio Pass to
join me on the committee—please contact me directly.
The Round Table board of directors will not be responsible for running the
convention. This falls on the shoulders of the committee, and we look forward to
your participation Sept. 27-29.
-Sir David James Heiss
