COMMITTEE REPORTS:
Bingo Night - August 3, 2024
Between bingo cards, concessions, and 50/50, we made a gross of $13128.29. Jess - Everyone in this room tonight were at bingo, either working, playing or supporting. I was really impressed with the turnout. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. The snacks were great and the popcorn was perfect! People would be willing to come back and play again. The pace went well. I’m open to feedback to improve our next Bingo Night. There were about 65 people in here and many made this a family event, bringing their children, friends, and other family members.
If we do this again, we definitely need to make sure we have plastic tablecloths to protect the tables from the daubers.
Sam - I invited several people and they all had nothing but good comments about the evening and can’t wait for us to do it again. If this grows to 80 players will our seating capacity be able to handle it?
Bear - I think we would max out at 100. We may have to say we are sold out for the night if we go over 100.
Soup Supper - November 9, 2024
Julie - Nothing to report. Jess offered to help with social media advertising.
Calendar - Bryan Bell
September rentals -
Old Business
Trapping seminar was a success. Earned $80 in lunches and $70 in donations. About 20 people attended. Dhon would like to do this again, next year.
Bought 12 stackable white tables. Would like to sell old tables or find another way to get rid of them.
New Business
We received an email from KDHE. It is time to renegotiate our contract. They are planning to remove the existing shelter and put up a new one. This includes pouring a 10x16 slab to set it on. Currently we receive $100/month. This has been the same for 10 years. Mike Martin is willing to come down and discuss it with us.
Should we have him come down and talk to us? Sam - Yes, come to the next meeting. What are they planning? What do they pay other land owners. How could we find out? We could possibly make a different contract length.
Jess - We need to table this until the next meeting when he comes to talk to us. Bryan will send an email inviting him to the next meeting.
Miscellaneous Business
Sam - When do we plan to have another Bingo? Jess - I was thinking every 6 months, which would be around February. Gift cards went really well, so if you can pick those up between now and then, we need 10 gift cards or equivalent prizes. The Blackout is the big prize at the end of the night.
Our next meeting will be September 30, 2024, 7:00 p.m. at the Peck Community Center
Motioned to adjourn by Woody Stitt; seconded by Julie Bell. Passed.
