The meeting was called to order at 1:00 pm. By President Gary N. who led the Pledge of Allegiance. The minutes of the November 2011 meeting were read and approved.

Suzie S. gave the treasurer's report as follows: Beginning balance as of November 20, 2011 was $1466.06, receipts were$287.00, expenditures of $201.78, leaving an ending balance as of December 29, 2011 of $1551.28. Suzie also mentioned that an audit of the books was performed by Don and Cathy Cook. It was moved and seconded to accept the treasurer's report as read. Motion carried.

CORRESPONDENCE: 

Candy read a letter from Quail Run RV Park located in Quartzsite, Arizona inviting Club Presidents and Rally leaders and their groups to visit their park. Of particular note is dogs over 25 pounds are not allowed in the park.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS: 
Suzie S. indicated she is still working on getting the 2x3 chapter flag made. The company is in the middle of a rather large order and we are apparently on the bottom of the heap. She has sent a graphic of our patch to the company and asked the membership if we wanted anything else on the flag. It was suggested that we put on the established date of April 1986. A motion was made, seconded and passed that we add the established date as discussed.  Mary N. said she will put together a sample of colors to be used for the background on the flag. Kelvin asked about individual small flags for the rigs and Suzie indicated she is also working on that but needs an approximate size for the flag.

Mary also mentioned that everyone seems to be up to date on their vests and name tags.

NEW BUSINESS: 

Gary passed around the membership roster and asked for any additions or corrections. He also suggested that we add our cell phone numbers if you wish to. It was also mentioned that Candy will need the expiration dates for Good Sams cards at the time the group dues are due. When the roster is updated it will be sent to all members.

Gary asked for a show of hands of who might be planning on attending the Samboree in Pahrump on March 15 thru the 18, 2012. There will be possibly four rigs in attendance.

It was suggested we not plan on the theme or a fundraiser for Pahrump and concentrate on a fundraiser for Samboree in Winnemucca. Mary suggested we think of ideas for the the Winnemucca fundraiser and wondered if we might want to use the wheel again.

Pam also asked about if we do have a fundraiser in Winnemucca, where would the money go? What charity? Kelvin suggested forming a committee to make suggestions regarding that.

Pam indicated that our group had agreed to have a blog last year and she is to take care of it but has not done anything with it since last year after she got hurt. She has it going again and asked that we send pictures for use in the blog. Her goal is to have at least one entry to it a month. She will email directions to the blog to everyone. She asked that we make comments on the blog.

Gary asked if we had ideas for a charity this year, i.e, a donation to Ft. Churchill again or something else. He asked  everyone to think about it and report back any ideas at a later date. The group did do two charities last year.

Gary asked about meetings and/or camp-out locations not assigned yet. Suzie P. indicated she would do the Christmas party.

NEXT MEETING: 

1:00 pm. At Denny's in Sparks. Suzie S. will send Candy the flier and Candy will then send it to everyone.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: 

Kendell, Pam, Marianne and Randy all celebrated birthdays in December; and Mary and Jim P. celebrated birthdays in January, and the Shelly's celebrated their anniversary.

Mike D. won $12.00 in the 50/50 drawing.

Meeting adjourned at 1:50 pm.

Respectfully submitted,

Candy Shelly
