August 08 Meeting Minutes

• Club picnic - Peak's Valley Campground near Murphy, NC (8/16 - 8/17).
Darrin says he posted the menu on a seperate post, which includes:
Keg from BBC
Country boil (shrimp, sausage)

• Ironman / 501c3
Ironman event is scheduled for Labor Day weekend. Todd S. spoke to Gary England and said he is willing to file free of charge. While $2250 was given to the club last year, the question was raised as whether to change the club's organizational structure to 501c3 to give Ironman what they need to donate to our club, or instead request that they donate money to AW / Elkhorn Acres or other charities. Todd explained that the Ironman contest may only last until 2011. Donna and myself raised question regarding additional responsibilities and obligations if we changed our status. Darrin will call Mark Singleton of AW regarding donation details. Darrin, Todd, etc. will research options further & post findings next Monday.

• Elkhorn Acres
AW has decided to revamp decision-making power from old Elkhorn Acres management group to a new structure where local clubs & land owner representatives manage property. We discussed how to choose our representatives to the new management group. No decision has been made yet.

• Discussed what organizations to donate club money to. Darrin to follow up.
