August Meeting Minutes

QCMOTC

August 7, 2014 Meeting Minutes

Past Events-

The annual summer swim party was a success. We had a total of 17 families, with 80 people in attendance total. Everyone had a great time.  White water junction was brought up for future years. We will look into that next for next summer, check availability and prices. In June we had a family picnic. 7 families attended.

Unfinished Business-

Trivia Night-

Our first trivia night will be held September 12 at Sam’s Fargo in Moline. We need at least 10 tables, and by discussion it looks like we will have more that that! We are going to have 50/50, silent auctions, and raffles. We are currently looking for donations for the raffle and silent auction.  If you are able to put a basket together that would be much appreciated! You don’t need to have a table of 8 to come.

Dues-

Starting in september, dues for every member will be due.  If you have already paid dues earlier this year, or if a new member joins after september, you would be prorated. This will just make it much simpler to keep track. We talked about sending out paypal reminders and/or emails.

Swap-

October 18 at Bethany Baptist Church in Moline. Amanda is going to go check out the space/confirm. We are going to start taking vendors. A flyer will be posted soon, as well as a facebook event.

New business-

Fall Party-

The fall party will be held September 27th at Amanda’s house. The club will be providing hot dogs, s'mores, drinks, and a bounce house.  Costumes are welcome! Amanda said her neighbors are will to pass out candy for trick or treating. Another idea was each parent can hand out candy.  More details and an event will be posted.

Christmas Party-Mothers/Family-

The mother’s christmas Party will be December 4th at 6:30. Potluck vs getting it catered was discussed. It was decided to have it catered. Looking for different suggestions for food. We talked about doing an angel tree or something similar as a club.

Trying to shoot for the first Saturday for the family Christmas party. Discussed the pros/cons between Monkey Joe’s and the YMCA. Because of time, it was thought that just have desserts/drinks would be a better option this year.

Bylaws-

We currently don’t have a copy of our bylaws. We need to get a new tax id number since ours has expired. Kari’s husband is finalizing those for us. We are also going to look into The National Mothers of Multiples, and see if it is worth joining.

Website-

Lori has been keeping our website updated for years, but with a new job she is unable to keep doing it. Looked into using Wix.com and calling around for prices for someone to build and maintain our website. We are going to try to do the Wix.com and see how it goes for now.

See you at the next meeting! September 4th!
