Hall BoardThe Hall Board Directors met on May 1, 2013 for their regularly scheduled Business Meeting. The Capital Improvement Committee Chairman, Gary Roberts presented a very challenging agenda for Capital Improvements. They involved improving parking lot lighting, replacement of patio cover, improving the sound attenuation in the dining area, removing ceiling “popcorn” and repainting the interior of the Lodge in softer colors and paving the upper south side parking lot including a side walk. The estimated cost of these proposals would be between 70 and 80 thousand dollars. This is doable by using funds from the Building Fund investments held by the Lodge with the approval of the Lodge Membership. The Board will be making a decision soon.
The Board also authorized the Building Maintenance Manager to seek bids to repaint the external part of the building and present the low bid to the Board by e-mail for approval. Also the Board passed two “Standing Resolutions” involving Casual and Long Term renters use of the facility. These resolutions will be appropriately made known to renters and leasers. It is not too early to think about prospective Lodge Members to stand for election to the Hall Board in November. There will three seats to fill and there is a need for Members interested and qualified to carry on the duties of all of the offices and also for the need of a Building Maintenance Manager and Rental/Lease Manager. This is a Business valued at nearly two million dollars and it is crucial to have qualified volunteers on the Board. I would like to point out a quote I recently read that “Volunteers are unpaid, not because they are worthless, but because they are PRICELESS”. That is certainly applies to our Board members. Fraternally, Don Bagley, P.M., President Comments are closed.
