2014 Budget
The Club is closing the 2013 books with a $1,225 surplus! Club members will consider the approval of the 2014 budget. Please see budget overview on the Club’s website. The executive board is requesting Club members reauthorize the expenditure of funds within the proposed 2014 budget categories plus 10%.
Upcoming Events and Meeting Topics
Club members will get a good look at the 2014 events and meeting calendar. Because it’s an election year, we’ll have special endorsement meetings and plenty of opportunities for precinct walking and phone banking. There are a few meetings where topics have not been finalized. Do you want a specific topic or discussion covered? Feel free to share your ideas at the meeting.
Save the date for our endorsement meeting on Saturday, February 22. The meeting will feature a panel of the AD 15 candidates and a few State-wide candidates will stop by. In order for your endorsement vote to count, you must be a full-voting member by January 27th.
