President John Johnson’s meeting review.
 
We had a good meeting today.  We heard updates from the Service Directors.  Each gave a quick update in their respective area.

  2. Attend February 6th, meeting to vote / approve service directors.

At today’s board meeting a membership policy change was discussed and approved: Spouses/Partners of current NBMV Rotary Club Members can be a Rotary club member with reduced membership fees of $200 annually ($50 quarterly).  The spouse/partner can hold officer positions within the club.
 
The Irondale Choir concert meeting was a huge success and next year we plan to invite more attendees.  
 
Devin and Cindy will finalize the Gold Plate Dinner menu so invitations and formal communications can be created.
 
John continued to share terrible jokes with the club.  Luckily most people finished their lunch so there wasn’t much food to be thrown at the comedian.
 
Next meeting is January 16th @ noon.  Location is New Brighton Exchange
