Show Me Cosmopolitan Club
The meeting was called to order by President Tim Echternach
Attendance:
Those in attendance were Kay Brejcha, Sara Echternach, Tim Echternach, Bill Giddings, and Brian McNeill
January meeting: (attendance and speakers)
It was noted that this is usually the meeting with the lowest attendance. No one has committed to speaking. Tim asked for ideas on speakers. It was suggested to ask Julie McNeill to speak again since it has been some time since she made a presentation regarding Foster Grandparents. Brian will check on this.
Possible emeritus status:
The board was in agreement to putting Jane Smith in emeritus status. Kay will check on this in January.
Memorial:
Jan Goodson has contacted Maxine Powell. Wayne wanted all contributions donated to the Honor Flight. The treasurer will send a $50.00 contribution in his honor.
Amazon Smile:
Bill Giddings received a letter from Amazon Smiles indicating we had money, but they need our paper work. The letter was given to Phil Hanson and Larry Benton to work on the information needed for us to collect. Once the board knows more information we will present more information on checking Amazon Smile when you use Amazon.
Scrip Program:
Kay Brejcha brought up that we could be making money from the Scrip account but she had not made a presentation on its use. She will make a full presentation at the February meeting.
Nominating Committee:
Our club has been without a President-Elect so far this year. We also know that Bill Tetro will not be our treasurer next year. (he has served for 2 terms, and so has Kay Brejcha as Secretary) The board is concerned about a full slate of officers. Suggestions/volunteers would be appreciated.

No date has been set. Participation is unpredictable due to COVID. More information will be available in February.
Pancake Breakfast:
The pancake breakfast is January 29th. It will be a drive thru event. All members are encouraged to participate.
