The Rutland Community Club met Monday, January 5, 2010 at Rutland City Hall.
Present: Bill Anderson, Paul Anderson, Deborah Banish, Renee Cramton, Vicky Haussler, Deb Liermark, Ronnie Narum, Bert Siemieniewski and Gretchen Vann.
Minutes: President Liermark reported there are no minutes from the December meeting available for review and approval.
Treasurer: Deborah Banish, Treasurer, discussed the December income and expenditures and presented a preliminary 2009 annual report noting the loss at Santa Day. Liermark reported that the ham for sandwiches and the soup was donated by the General Store; Bert made the soup and some of the food.
Cramton asked about Santa Day bingo stating that at the December meeting members voted to charge 25 cents per card. Liermark said without the minutes she cannot verify that; she and Bert made the executive decision not to charge for bingo. Banish said “Rutland Bucks” were given for bingo prizes but she has no information on how many of the green $5.00 Bucks were distributed. As those are redeemed, the Santa Day loss will be greater. The final redemption date printed on the Bucks is June 13, 2010 so it may be some time before a final accounting can be made for 2009 Santa Day.
Bert/Vicky moved acceptance of the Treasurer’s Report as presented. Motion carried.
Nominating Committee: Vicky reported that she has not been able to find residents willing to run for RCC Office. Terms for Jeff Olson and Hilary Mehrer are expiring. Jeff is not interested in continuing as Secretary.
Ron/Vicky put in nomination Paul Anderson for RCC Office in 2010.
The vote on two RCC Board positions will be held at the February meeting. It was noted that Hilary Mehrer stated she would be willing to run again for office.
Advertising: Gretchen reported that a few members of the Horizons Advertising committee met in December. The RCC has been discussing the street banners and the Advertising Committee is not working on those at this time. That Committee will proceed to work on a Rutland sign at Hwy 11.
The group discussed the pole banners that need to be replaced. Gretchen has been in contact with Sign O’Rama in Fargo who can do them. Last summer they quoted a price of $100 each for 15″x42″ banners, duplex printing. They would need to be installed by Ronnie but she is not certain how they can be attached to the poles.
Ronnie asked Gretchen to obtain a sample of that size so he can work with Shannon Mehrer to determine how to install and to make brackets to hang them. Gretchen and Ronnie agreed to proceed with this issue and return in February with information.
Community Play: Liermark stated that the Adult program/play is held the third Saturday in March; she wanted to get someone else involved in that event but that is difficult. She will contact Diane Smith to see if she would be interested in coordinating and/or directing the program.
Events: Upcoming Rutland events include the Anderson Pinochle Tournament (February 6), the Legion Pancake Breakfast (February 7), the Fish Fry and Adult Community Play.
Gretchen agreed to handle the meal for the March 2010 adult play tentative for March 20, 2010.
Website: Gretchen asked about the Website committee and whether they met to discuss the proposed fee for Rutland business links on the site. Banish said that Hilary, Bill and Earl are the members of the Website Committee. Bill said he will ask for a meeting prior to the February meeting.
Renee/Paul moved that the meeting be adjourned. Motion carried.
