Minutes from October
Meeting
The Women of Flower Mound
General Meeting
October 9, 2007
The Women of Flower
Mound met on October 9, 2007 at
Salerno‘s.
President Wendy
Trayler called the meeting to order at
7:00 PM. Wendy welcomed those attending,
and introduced 5 guests. Lifetime
members were introduced.
The Sunshine Committee
had nothing new to report.
Treasurer's report was
presented and a motion to approve was
made by Leardon Ruffing with a second
from Jalynn West. Minutes received in
the newsletter for the September
meeting. Carol Anne Crossan made a
motion to approve and it was seconded by
Jalynn West.
Issue of the fee for dinner was
addressed and included the issue of
Salerno's not being able to host the
group in November and December. Wendy
stated that the Board had discussed the
issue and is actively seeking a meeting
place for those months. One of the
issues that was brought to the Board's
attention was that times have changed
and Salerno's may be "bumping" us
because they don't make enough money off
of our dinners. Wendy suggested that
after several discussions with the Board
that the dinner fee be raised to $15
with an RSVP and $17 without beginning
November 1st. A membership vote of all
present was taken at the meeting. 27
approved the $15 with RSVP - no opposed
and 25 approved the $17 - no opposed.
JaLynn West introduced the program for
the evening: Denton County Commissioner
Bobbie Mitchell sharing her story about
how she decided to make a difference and
how you can also make a difference.
Wendy announced the
date of the annual Fashion Show for
February 23, 2008 and tickets are $25
per person and Charma is available at
the exit to distribute tickets.
With all business and program concluded,
the meeting was adjourned at 9 PM.
Respectfully submitted
on behalf of Cheryl Gist,
Charma Kerr, VP
