Lewis and
Minutes of Board Meeting
Call to Order: President Denise Tarr called the board
meeting of the Lewis and Clark Humane Society to order at
Secretary’s Report: It was moved to approve the November
27, 2001 board meeting minutes.
Shelter Executive Director’s
Report: Gina reported that we are getting a good
response from the fundraising letter that went out in the December H.S.
newsletter. It was suggested that we do
this type of mailing twice a year, instead of once. Gina also reported that Tia Nelson is doing
spaying of shelter animals on Fridays at cost.
Tia inquired about the possibility of shelter funds for the spaying of a
large number of cats held by one owner.
Gina said she would look into the matter. Construction of the concrete cover with
draining system between the two shelter buildings will begin next week. And, there is only one dog, and five cats
left at the shelter from the Jefferson County cruelty case.
President’s Report:
Denise reminded executive board members to bring $15 to the next board
meeting to pay for sponsorship of a cat cage.
She also reminded board members to pay their membership dues to the
humane society.
Treasurer’s Report: As a thorough Treasurer’s Report was given at the
November meeting, none was given tonight.
Old Business:
Santa Paws was held at Big R on Dec. 8-9, 2001. Together with the raffle, approximately
$1,100 was netted ($330 for film was paid out of this). Denise said that more should be charged for
the photos next time (they were 1 for $5 or 2/$8). Dr. Don Bishop won the Nancy Glazier print
raffled off on Dec. 9 and re-donated it.
Norma Jean Huetari won the guided fly fishing trip.
New Business:
None
Miscellaneous: Jean reported that she had investigated the
issue of insurance coverage for shelter employees when they are using personal
vehicles to run work-related errands.
The selected employees will be reimbursed their mileage fees, but are
personally responsible for notifying their insurance company of the additional
usage of their vehicles.
Adjournment:
The board meeting adjourned at approximately 6:45 pm for holiday treats
and festivities. Shelter staff were
invited to attend the holiday potluck and many did. The next regular LCHS board meeting will be
held Tuesday, January 15, 2002 at the Stray Pet Center.
