Minutes were approved.

Old Business
Finding a president-elect is a messy situation according to Jeremy. Due to complications from Covid, it’s hard to get people to participate in Zoom meetings. This puts the burden on the president. It was decided that we continue to meet via Zoom but change the purpose of each meeting. The first and 3rd Wednesday will be regular meetings, the 2nd Wednesday of the month is the board meeting and the 4th/5th Wednesdays will be 6pm socials. With no president-elect, past presidents will assume the role once a month.
When it becomes possible to meet in person, the club needs to determine a venue. The community center is an option and the Soroptimist building is a possibility but Leslie Keating Smith will need to take it up with her board as they may decide to close the building.
The club received the $500 District grant for the literacy project.
Mary informed us that High on Health has been postponed indefinitely.

We were informed that a club member’s family is in need of financial help. This is a major problem in Curry County and the board feels that we need to look at a broader plan for community service. Tim will contact Elder Care and we will work with other organizations to identify the needy and under served population.

January 31 will be a club project day, weather permitting.
