- Discussed upcoming plans for Hometown Christmas event. Town is preparing 400 treat bags for Santa to give out and will block off the road for the event as in past years. Our offer to assist in purchase of new christmas lights was declined as they decided to go ahead with that acquisition on their own. Roger reported table sales complete and that most locations filled up. Paypal report of sales to date to be forwarded to Treasurer.
- Discussed Treasurer report on current balances: 1st Choice (in trust for Trail System) has $10,388 and ATB (Chamber Current account) has $7,217. Shannon noted that last years Gala funds raised not yet moved to 1st Choice and moved that $3,150 be transferred from ATB to 1st Choice to bring the balance in the 1st Choice account to $13,515 (her calculation of the expected balance in trust balance). Vote - All Agreed.
- Discussed CYB Nominations received and the procedure for Chamber CYB vote. As agreed in past meetings, the nomination committee will select top three in each category for the chamber vote. Roger agreed to set up the online vote as per past procedure. Deadline for voting set for Fri 26 Dec 2014 so that winners can be notified and plans finalized for the Jan 2015 Gala.
- Discussed the CYB Gala Ticket sale procedure and membership renewal process. Town has agreed to distribute our Chamber Invoice page with their request for business licences in 2015. Roger will update the Chamber Invoice handout for 2015 by the end of December.
