About the Board Meeting Minutes
All board meetings start at 6pm, ending between 7:30 and 8 PM. There are no
Board meetings in December and February, otherwise, the meeting date is
the 4th Monday in each month (note... not necessarily the LAST Monday).
Our main task as a Board is to have the 7-9 PM monthly Gardeners Club
meetings run smoothly.
We're somewhat informal, liking to spend time in gardens at meetings held
during Daylight Savings months. As further incentive for members to
host a board meeting, we showcase their gardens in the Featured Garden
section of our website.
During our meetings we try to stay on topic as much as possible, following an agenda. There
should always be time to introduce new topics, but it is often necessary
to put off decision making until something specific is
formulated/researched and put to the Board. The general membership needs
to be presented with information and have time to offer suggestions as
well. Often, when the Board meeting minutes are read, there is a mention
of a "discussion" on a topic, and that's a good time to have the topic
brought up to the membership. Another way for issues to be brought to the
attention of members is in the newsletter.

The November 26th Board meeting was held at the home of Marge Gregory. We
omitted our usual garden tour because of darkness, but had a great potluck
meal.
Denise was in Louisiana, hence, no financial report.
There were 35 people attending the October meeting.
Denise has indicated that this will be her last year as treasurer and is
soliciting a replacement. The rest of the board members stated that they
are willing to keep serving in the same positions for the upcoming year.
Marge has place settings for 76, and will be buying new table cloths. We
will supply greens for the tables and a few extra tables for the auction.
Cherry will request use of the kitchen. Cherry also distributed extra
auction forms to the board members present. None need to be copied.
With discussion, we decided to fund two scholarships for high school
students, and two for Cabrillo horticulture students. Even though Cabrillo
is offering free tuition for the first year, students still will need
funds for books, transportation and the like.
Future meetings:
December: Holiday Auction and party
Future board meetings:
December: no board meeting
January: Cherry Thompson pot luck
February: April Barclay pot luck
Our next board meeting will be January 28th, 6PM at the home of Cherry
Thompson at 3315 Putter Drive, Soquel at 6pm. All are welcome to attend.
