• Treasures report approved unanimously.

Other

• 7 Bylaw changes were recommended to the general membership and voted on last month. Changes # 1 and 2 did not pass. Changes # 3-7 were approved by the general membership. The secretary will make a hard copy of the old version of the bylaws and will keep this version and the voting records for the changes on file. she will also make the approved changes to the bylaws and provide them to the board of directors and put a PDF version on the wiki. There was a question concerning 2 votes which were not named. Neither inclusion or exclusion of these votes could have any effect on the outcome of the voting process, so the board voted unanimously to accept the results.
• Larry Morgan spoke to Mike Holstine concerning the wellness funds. Mike suggested that Larry deal directly with Denise Utley concerning these funds. Larry asked Denise Utley via email whether we should request a lump sum, or if we can request money for items as the needs occur. Larry has not received a response from Denise.
• Jay will take over chairing the exercise committee.
• Jay requested through Dennis Egan that the shop fix the elliptical trainer, which they did.
• Jay is going to request that Butch Wirt fix the humidity problem in the basement.
• We received new lockers from the tour centers excess locker stash.
• Picnic Planning
  • Motion was made and approved to pay $1425 for fireworks. Noted: this price is only 1/2 the real cost. MH covers the other half. It was also noted that the price has increased from last year.
  • Catering: Reds' and a new place located in Lewisburg are willing to do a BBQ for the picnic. There is the possibility of having something other than BBQ, but this option is more costly. The board decided to use last years' menu as the starting point and Sue shears will request prices from both caterers.
  • Jay will not be here on the picnic day, but is still willing to chair the entertainment committee. Mike and sherry McCarty? joined this committee.
  • Glenn will talk to Frank Ghigo about bingo.
  • Carla ordered tents and chairs. Paul is going to verify that he sent the deposit to the company.

New Business

• Larry Morgan resigned from the rec board.
• The Cass Railroad trip function will be held June 14th. The rec board will pay $450 towards tickets for employees and immediate family members (limit was not discussed). We will be sending an email out to employees this week, asking them to express their intention to attend the function.
• Master swim club
  • Several members of the green bank community, but not NRAO, have expressed an interest in joining the club. Jules will speak to Mike Holstine about their use of the pool.
• Jay expressed a desire to have rec board members more appropriately describe the contents of rec board correspondence in the subject line of the email.
• John Ford looked into paint ball equipment. Approximately $600 could buy 4 or 5 sets. Since this was not a budget item, it was suggested that Sue shears request that John Ford come to our next meeting and discuss it.
