September 23, 2025

Announcements:

Today’s meeting was a review of the attendance requirements for being a member of the club. There have been some glaring violations that would seem to indicate a lack of the full understanding of what the Prospectors Association membership is for and how it benefits each member. The board is welcoming comments from each of our members. If you were unable to attend today, or simply have any questions, please reach out to one of our board members.

Guests: Jim Martin, America 2000, brought Alex Renfrow to breakfast this morning. Alex will attend the meeting when Jim is unable to attend.

We have one opportunity to speak on 12/16, if you are interested, please use the SIGN UP TO SPEAK link in the drop-down menu.

We are sad to announce that today was Dr. Tidswell’s, My Eye Doctor, last day. Jeff, we will miss seeing you and wish you a happy retirement!

Board Members Present: Karole Campbell, Greg Jones, Steve Dufaud, Karen Heun, Jay Dahlberg, Steve Lebel, Heather Smith, John Autry, Mark Copelin, Tom Stewart

Absent: Bob Goss, Rick Ward

Quorum: Yes

Discussion and Action:

Financials:
Not discussed.

Membership: 

Ongoing discussion about members who are in violation of the bylaws. Due to Bob Goss’ absence the 15 persons to be contacted by him, status is unknown. 

The current membership violation has been a structure issue for the club. It was suggested that we could bring structure by having quarterly reviews of attendance, placing those in violation on a quarter of probation, and if their attendance does not improve take action. 

Steve Lebel to announce this structure to the members next week and Steve Dufaud to outline the proper way to miss a meeting if unable to attend. He will also review how to request a leave of absence if needed. 

The board members are to review the membership section in the bylaws. 

Old business: 

Bob Goss requested that the board review the membership section in the bylaws and bring any suggestions for revision to our next scheduled meeting. 

Our next meeting will be October 21, 2025.
