Meg Rapheal – President’s Report

  • Meg opened discussion regarding board members transitions, our struggles with Shopify issues during those transitions and considering a planful way to replace board members. Carole stated that all board members were asked to create a job description for their board responsibilities a couple of years ago. We should continue doing this in the future.  Carole will send Meg the descriptions currently on hand. 
  • Meg reported that she had not received any updates from Patty Hall on the fishing event planned for June.
  • We did receive feedback from our email asking lake homeowners who own businesses if they’d be interested in being listed on the BEAA website. Comments received were in favor, so Meg will draft another letter to explore the issue further.
  • There was discussion about getting business cards and note cards for BEAA board members use. Carole will see if she still has the Vista Print set up from the ones we had made a few years ago.

 

Doug Mulder - Vice President Report

  • We will not be opening the Graffic Traffic store at this time. Laura is working on getting a commemorative T-shirt designed for Music on the Lake instead.

 

Annual Dinner Report –Deb and Sue

  • Deb and Sue reported that things went well.
  • One comment received was that we might consider using auction numbers, rather than individuals’ names so no one knows who they’re bidding against. Carole heard one suggestion that it be made more clear that some people need to go to the “certificate” table to receive their gift cards, etc.  
  • See the Treasurer’s report section for dinner income details.

 

Music on the Lake – Jenn and Laura

  • Joe and Laura need to ensure the contract is reviewed and accurate and gets signed by Meg
  • Jenn and Laura will take pictures of Bart’s property and discuss their stage needs with them.
  • Jenn asked if it would be difficult to change the address for the insurance rider for the event and Jack indicated that it wouldn’t be a problem.
  • Carole mentioned that there might be some wood dock sections available to use for a stage, depending on when her neighbor’s new dock arrives.
  • Laura is working on getting a commemorative T-shirt designed for Music on the Lake. There was discussion related to how/where to sell the t-shirts.  It was discussed that we might need 200 shirts in unisex sizes from XS to 2 XL.  Doug offered to sell the shirts off of his dock.
  • Sue will contact Bart’s neighbors and ensure they’re aware of the event.
  • Doug reported that a 20’ x 20’ stage would rent for $772.
  • Carole reminded the group that the dues drawing winner for a parking spot needs to be notified of how to arrange that access.

 

 

Meeting with community dock associations

  • Joe met with the Timber Lake Dock Association  (Hobe Ln). Jenn said there were about 70 people there.  There wasn’t a lot of discussion nor questions from the attendees.

 

Meg made a motion to adjourn the meeting at 8:10 p.m. Carole seconded and all approved.
