January Minutes
All are asked to review them and get corrections to Maryellen Rudolph.

Fiscal Status
Bob Miller our new treasurer confirmed he is in the process of transitioning his role and records. At this time he has reconciled the bank balance of $3571.11. He will be transfering the Corinthian Account to Evergreen Bank. Account signees include Bob Miller, Herm Lintner, Chuck Thorne?, Spencer Raggio?. Bob noted that he had no accounts receivable (to LGCYC) but recognized that some bills will be due — US Sailing, Insurance (via US Sailing) plus some from 2001. Bob intends to operate with no petty cash. Herm will get Bob a copy of the current bylaws and the articles of incorporation. Spencer will compose an invoice for 2002 membership.

To handle the LGCYC store a specific individual will be recruited for each event.

Herm passed out a draft budget for each committee for 2002. Comments and suggestions are requested before the March meeting. Of note is the proposal for basic membership fee to remain at $50 and the racing membership fee to increase to $75 (total $125).
