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.

Lupe Allen hosted the June meeting of the board. We had an extensive tour
of her ever enlarging garden. Lupe makes wonderful use of garden art. This
was followed by a pot luck dinner.
Per Cherry: Our checking balance is currently $4161.05. Rent of $88 was
paid to the grange. The May plant exchange income was $40.75. We received
$90 from memberships and $110 in donations
We had 14 attendees at the last meeting.
Suzanne reports that we currently have 87 paid members. We will be
dropping the unpaid from the newsletter circulation list.
The July meeting will be the annual Ice Cream Social. Cherry distributed
empty glasses to the board to make the door prize succulent sundaes.
We are thinking of doing a succulent dish garden planting for the August
meeting. We will provide potting mix and starts. Lise has volunteered to
speak for the September meeting.
She will cover what worked and what didn’t in her garden with similar
input from the board members for their gardens. Nice idea!
The next board meeting to be held July 22nd will be held at the home of
Lisa Bixler, Boulder Creek. The meeting will start at 6pm with a garden
tour.. All are welcome to attend
