MINUTES OF THE CORSICA AREA COMMUNITY FOUNDATION (CAP)

August 16^th 2001 at 7:00 a.m.

A meeting of the Corsica Area Community Foundation was held at Cheryl’s Place in Corsica S.D. on Thursday, August 16^th.

Members present were Roger Bordewyk, Dick Bordewyk Gary VanRoekel, Tom Gerlach, Sylvia Zomer, Vern DeGeest, and Cheryl VanZee.

Meeting was called to order by Roger Bordewyk.

Minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved.

The by-laws as prepared by Dick Bordewyk and Manley Peterson were distributed and reviewed. Motion by Gary VanRoekel with a second from Sylvia Zomer to adopt the by-laws as prepared. All were in favor.

The next item of business was the election of officers. Motions were made, a second was received, and a unanimous ballot was cast for Roger Bordewyk as President; Cheryl VanZee as Vice President; Vern DeGeest as Secretary, and Sylvia Zomer as Treasurer.

The CAF by laws require that the Board of Directors shall consist of nine individuals, and the terms are staggered so three directors are elected each year. Roger Bordewyk, Vern DeGeest, and Sylvia Zomer were elected to three year terms. Cheryl VanZee, Tom Gerlach, and Gary VanRoekel were elected to two year terms. Dick Bordewyk, Mark Spitzenberger, and Manley Peterson were elected to one year terms.

The President appointed Dick Bordewyk and Manley Peterson to review the Articles of Understanding, a Pledge Agreement, and Grant Applications as applicable to the CAF.

The President indicated other appointments may be forthcoming.

It was suggested that we consider an appointment for someone to serve as a “webmaster” for our project. A directive was given to approach Scott Muckey. I have fulfilled the directive, and Scott Muckey will attempt, if provided the information.

Other items discussed was a chart/thermometer type gauge to record contributions to the CAF. There was also a feeling that some sort of “dues structure” needs to be formulated.

One other item of concern was whether the CAF needed a “mission statement”. The President said he would look into that matter.

With no further discussion, the meeting was adjourned by the President.

Vern DeGeest, Secretary
