The CCC Board met this afternoon in emergency session to discuss our situation and to develop a plan to go forward. The Board agreed that it is important to establish a regular meeting place and time for the interim but that the effort to do so was more of a group function rather than an CCEDII function. Angie H agreed to conduct a search for temporary quarters to start a meeting.
Dealing with the building and property is a major issue, and Larry N agreed to take on the project of working with the various parties (City, contractors, clean-up people, etc.) to assist in development of a plan to restore the building to its previous grandeur. A budget will also be developed to assist in planning our financial needs.
Once we have a better understanding of our needs, a comprehensive financial plan which would most likely include reviewing cash on hand, fundraising, SBA borrowings, disaster grants, and other matters can be developed for the ongoing future of the CCC. The target date for this matters was to have it presented to the Members at the regularly scheduled meeting on November 8, 2008, or about 6 weeks from now.
The Board generally agreed that there need to be some special provisions presented at the annual Members' meeting for By-Law consideration such as one-time lifetime membership offers, waiving dues deadlines for October and November, and other such matters. Otherwise, the Board acknowledged that adherence to the By-Laws was especially important at this time since they do represent the Members' instructions to the Board as to how they expect the Club to be run.
The Board will meet weekly on Sunday at 3:00PM for the foreseeable future. The next meeting will be held outside at the CCC location.
Stay tuned here for additional updates as they occur. Keep in mind that this information is my summary of events and not the official CCC position on anything.
