The Board of Directors of the Charlotte Bridge Association met on Wednesday May 2, 2007 at 4:30 at 510 East Park Avenue.
All members were present . Janet Case, Gene Manion and Carol Winecoff were also in attendance at the meeting. The meeting was called to order by the President.
The Minutes of the April 2007 meeting had several corrections. Sue Bedient took Carol Winecoff's place as the District representative, Harold resigned from the National Board of Governors. The Disciplinary Committee also includes Janet Case. For the work on the library Celia Johnson and Anne Allen will work together.
After these corrections the minutes were approved.
TREASURERS Report: Jerry Pontius gave the Treasurer's report. Jerry reviewed expenses and purchases. Jerry provided a financial document with details. Some unexpected expenses incurred were the addition of the new walls and painting the walls. The last utility bill was paid at the old site. In the near future we will be able to compare costs for Latta vs. the old building.
