[Capchapohio] November Chapter minutes

Fri Dec 2 05:04:02 UTC 2016

Greetings, I hope this response finds everyone doing well.
As a point of clarification as it relates to the Washington seminar motion was it a straight motion for $500 only, or $500 per person to be allocated for Washington seminar expenses? 
Additionally, I'd like to discuss this under old business this upcoming Saturday. Unfortunately I wasn't able to attend the meeting during November, but we had some discussions about increased expenses at Washington seminar at the beginning of this year so I am not sure if that was Wade as part of the conversation as well as what the state is going to be able to provide in terms of advance funding or other reimbursement.

Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.

Mr. Grynuik stated that for every deck that was sold for $30, the chapter would make $10, with the 5th deck raising the entire $30 as profit.  Currently, decks are available for Columbus, Cincinnati, and Toledo, with future plans to expand to other Ohio cities.  There is no up front cost to the chapter for the cards; they are given on  consignment  until the end date of the planned sale, when any unsold decks would be returned to the company.  In addition, sales can be made directly to customers, as well as through preorders and online.  The company would assist with marketing materials and a website for sales.  After some discussion, a motion was made (MariLyn/Heather) for the chapter to sell Foody Cards beginning immediately.  Passed with J.W. and Mike abstaining.  Carole will be the chapter’s point person for this project.
