Greetings;

Just to let you know, the word is starting spread on the statements made in the meeting Thursday.

See note below.

“I got a call from someone who is working one of my events who was told that even though they’re spending the day in the Kitchen they have to pay for the event.   This has never been the case, and I told them they don’t have to pay if they work at an event.  Obviously no one is going to volunteer to work if they also have to pay.”

Hey Whit, thanks for sending this out. I was getting ready to poll my team today to seek their feedback regarding what I thought was the new club position to charge workers for club dinners? What am I missing? I raised this when Soni mentioned it at the meeting and she said that the club can’t afford to have this and that we are a volunteer organization. I was a bit miffed as it was the first I’d heard of it.

I’ve been working on the pulled pork team for 13 years and leading it for the past five years or so since George Kinser departed. As I mentioned at the Board meeting team members have been with the club for a long time and they all do a great job. Last year we got a newbie couple on our team and they worked out great.

Aside from that we made several hundred dollars on the event and that was before several members of the team including Ellen and I donated the items we made and did not seek reimbursement. 

I think we need to make this clear right away and I’m really glad that I got this email before I sent out my notice to the team.

Please advise what I was missing from the Board meeting the other night since Soni was adamant about team members paying and now you are saying that is not the case.

We need to get this straightened out right away. I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks.

Dave

Hi Everyone………

 

            I fully agree that the volunteers working an event should have their meals provided free of charge.  Each team leader should submit a list of their volunteers to the folks collecting money for that evening.  Those are the only folks who would receive their meals and not need to pay.  There has been a recurrent theme about “that’s the way it has always been”.  This time I agree with that statement.

Dear Board members it seems like the majority does not want to see a change in volunteers getting a complimentary meal. I hope we can keep this to the food prep people only. 
Thanks so much 
Soni
I will let Christina know

To set things strait. I called Dan to inform him that the volunteers at the Memorial Day Breakfast need to sign up soon in order to pay. If you look at the signup sheet my name is registered and after speaking with Dan, he offered to cross it off. 

Any suggestion that "the word is starting to spread" or "the conversations need to be locked up" is bullshit! I do not leak information from Board Meetings and when asked by members I simply tell them to look at the minutes.

Get your facts straight before you start bellyaching 

Bill

P.S. Jan and I stopped by the Club for a minute this afternoon and the Club has never looked so good in seventeen years. Outstanding job to all involved and for those attending, have a great time!

I thought I sent a letter today to entire board that we are NOT Not moving
forward with any changes. Dan can run his events any way  he wants . No
problem here.
That is the secession for all events. Kitchen workers do not need to pay.
Thanks so much everyone.

Soni,

I was responding to Board Members who thought I was leaking information.

Let's put this to an end and have a good weekend.

Hey Bill, right on brother! I like guys who shoot straight with no need to read between the lines! I was astounded by the reverse in position after the meeting!

Hi Soni;

 

I think it was a good referendum on whether the club members care if we make money or not.  It is good to test the waters….

 

Thank you for being flexible. Christina has your article for the newsletter which you should modify for her to include the VC update.

 

This will go out this week so we can make it clear that events will be “business as usual” for this season.  I will be writing my piece as soon as we get all the contributions.

 

Best of luck with the event tonight.

 

Wish I was there, but also need to see the grands…

 

Whit

Dear Board members it seems like the majority does not want to see a change in volunteers getting a complimentary meal. I hope we can keep this to the food prep people only. 

Thanks so much 

Soni

I will let Christina know

Hey Whit, thanks for sending this out. I was getting ready to poll my team today to seek their feedback regarding what I thought was the new club position to charge workers for club dinners? What am I missing? I raised this when Soni mentioned it at the meeting and she said that the club can’t afford to have this and that we are a volunteer organization. I was a bit miffed as it was the first I’d heard of it. 

 

I’ve been working on the pulled pork team for 13 years and leading it for the past five years or so since George Kinser departed. As I mentioned at the Board meeting team members have been with the club for a long time and they all do a great job. Last year we got a newbie couple on our team and they worked out great.

 

Aside from that we made several hundred dollars on the event and that was before several members of the team including Ellen and I donated the items we made and did not seek reimbursement. 

 

I think we need to make this clear right away and I’m really glad that I got this email before I sent out my notice to the team.

 

Please advise what I was missing from the Board meeting the other night since Soni was adamant about team members paying and now you are saying that is not the case.

 

We need to get this straightened out right away. I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks.

 

Dave

Subject: [Board] Setting up for the May Newsletter
Message-ID: <006101d867dd$dea94c20$9bfbe460$@comcast.net>

Team;

 

The May newsletter is being finished this weekend.  We will use that
communications medium to outline what has been happening with the club and
to keep the membership informed.

 

As part of our update we will have an article in the newsletter written by
the Vice Commodore.  This will outline where we are on the functions for
this year.

 

It will be a perp rally for the membership and boost everyone's spirits
heading into the upcoming season.  If anyone has an input please get it to
us ASAP.

 

Have fun at the opening event tonight, Christina and I are visiting the
grandchildren or we would be at the event.

 

Best;

 

Whit
