June Board Meeting

June 4, 2026
Location: Laughing Monk, Scotts Valley
12:00 p.m.: Welcome and Introductions
Recorded by Julia Zuckerman

Meeting called to order. Minutes from the last meeting approved.
○ Julia via Zoom and Reed gave his proxy to Scott.
○ Not enough for a quorum, but we discussed current and future business.

1) Scott reviewed the Golf Tournament at Delavuega Golf Course.
a) The event went well.
b) Lower attendance than expected (68-people).
c) The winning score was 58 for 2-teams. Playoff held and the final winning
group was Adam Crum, Matt Dodd, Mark Manely, & Sean Medina.
d) Closest to the hole was Rick Pistanna.
e) Overall the event was well received.
f) Scott will pick up signs from the golf course.
g) Per the treasurer, we broke even from the tournament.

2) Future golf tournament:
a) We will need to push the entry fee for the event to $140.00 per person
the chapter sponsors will still get their slot per year as per their membership).
b) The next tournament we want to sell closest to the hole, longest drive,
putting contest and the ability to set up a stand at their hole as ways to
extend donation opportunities for the chapter.
c) Bringing in food to the event for before or during the day and eliminating
dinner at the end of the event for a 30 minute award and thank you spot.
This was because there was not a great turn out for dinner at the recent event.
d) A committee will be put together for the planning of a second tournament in
September-October, to be headed by Scott and supported by Henry, Reed,
and Earl. A possible new location might be Cinnabar.

3) We are looking at ditching the constant contact means of email communication
for the Zeffi which we used for the Golf event with much better results.
a) It is cheaper and easier to use.
b) To also be used for any chapter event requiring email correspondence
(board meetings, holiday party, supplier night, BB event, etc…)

4) Looking at August or September for sumer chapter get together. Event committee and Scott working on it.

5) Recognizing Ki & Elise at holiday get together.
