Present: Rex Winterbottom (Event Coordinator), Jeff Lanam, Nancy Lindeman, Scott Aster, Nick Corsano, Trinka Gillis (President), Vicki Woolworth (Secretary), Rosemary Johnson, Bob Cooley and Steve Haas.

The meeting was called to order at 7:00 PM at the Walker Recreation Center in Foster City.

The meeting opened with a review and discussion of the Treasurer’s Report, submitted by email by Kelly Wells, who called in at 7:20. We are about $10,000 under budget so far, but should finish the year in the black despite starts and income per start being lower than last year. For next year’s budget there has been a request for $12,000 for mapping and a $1,000 refundable deposit for the Presidio. Discussed individual budget items, considered consolidating lockers but both considered full at this time.

President’s Report

Congratulations to Nick for a successful A-meet at Boggs Mountain. The board decided to decline the invitation to work with JoyneMe as this would require advertising for this service on our home page. There is a plan in the works to revise our home page on the web to include more graphics and generally reorganize. The application is ready for the first stage of our 501(c)(3) application (federal tax exemption) and Trinka will send once subsequent steps will be ready to go. Discussed the advantages of online payment for memberships and event fees (especially A-meets) and the club will look into setting up a Google or PayPal account.

Event Coordinator’s Report

Rex gave an update on next year’s schedule. Two A-meets, Ski-O, and a fairly full schedule planned, more classic meets desired but more volunteers needed. Noted that NOD conflicts with America’s Cup races.

Directors’ Reports

Bulletin: Jeff may experiment with Twitter.
Epunch/Event Quality: Discussed the possibility of a GeBe printer-only setup for some C-level or mass-start events. Rosemary described the different types of epunch systems, with Quickstick being easier to use and to train others to use, but OE (SPORTident) still needed for some A-meets for combined times. There is still a need to get event directors to recruit epunch help; additional members for the epunch group would be appreciated.
Outreach: Scott has been contacted by the San Jose Public Library and is looking into setting up a presentation for them.
Registration: Online pre-registration being considered, we also have lots of odd-colored punch cards if anyone might need them.
Juniors: Trinka is recruiting a Juniors director.

Next meeting is scheduled for March 5, 2013.

Meeting adjourned at 9:55 PM.
