Treasurer’s Report
The September Board requested Capozzo to report back to the Board on a plan concerning what items can be cut or reprioritized in the 2007 operational budget, and what effect it will have on the Club and the bottom line. At the October Board meeting, Capozzo distributed his report which did not recommend any cuts to be made. Hakenen thanked Capozzo for his thorough report.
Proposed Procedure for Accounts Receivable: The proposed procedure posed several questions for the Board so further discussion was tabled until the November Board meeting.

Membership Sales & Notations
In an effort to stimulate the sale of memberships, the September 2007 Board removed the minimum sale price of $15,000. Management notified those on the selling list that their asking price could be reduced if they wished. The three lowest asking prices presented to the October Board were: $10,950, $12,000, $12,000.
Proprietary Applicants: Richard & Julie Geselle, Roy & Sandy Van Pelt, Dick & Veronica Mello. Gerhardt motioned to approve, Hon. James F. Moelk seconded. The motion carried.
An above membership selling at $12,000 has been passed over several times as the Board elected to move other memberships to the top of the list for various reasons. Membership Committee chairman, Bill Fell requested the Board to move this particular membership to the top of the list and consider absorbing the $500.00 difference in the transfer fee and provide the selling member with an Associate membership waiving the $250.00 fee. Machado motioned to approve, Gerhardt seconded. The motion carried.
