In attendance were: Cindy Cieciwa, Margaret Walters, Christiane Payton, Anne McIntyre Lahner, Carol Pasheilich, Chris Bazant, Kendall Spielman, Randy Thompson, Ron Andress, Charlene Carlisle, Jane Caulfield and Dan Pence. Carol Pasheilich made a motion to shorten the Board meeting by focusing on old business and dealing with new business at another meeting to be held in March. Anne McIntyre Lahner seconded the motion which passed unanimously. The first order of business was to review the minutes from the August 7, 2009 ARBA Membership Meeting – this was put off until the March Board meeting. Christ Bazant moved that the Board Meeting minutes from 8/9/2009 be approved as presented. Jane Caulfield seconded the motion and it was passed unanimously. Chris Bazant moved that the Board Meeting minutes from 8/22/2009 be approved as presented. Jane Caulfield seconded the motion and it was passed unanimously. Chris Bazant moved that the Board Meeting minutes from 8/27/2009 be approved as presented. Jane Caulfield seconded the motion. A note was added to the 8/27/2009 minutes that there was a discrepancy between the roll call and the fact that 2 votes were not accounted for in the changes made to Article V section 2. Therefore the term “unanimous” was removed from this portion of the minutes. All Board members were in favor of the deletion of the word “unanimous” and voted to approve the 8/27/200 minutes. The Treasurer presented her report to the Board. According to the Treasurer the organization was able to meet its financial obligations in a timely manner and should be able to do so in the foreseeable future. Jane Caulfield moved to accept the report. Margaret Walters seconded the motion and it was approved unanimously. Carol Pasheilich presented the Advertising Committee report to the Board.
