select the Shriner Fraternal Order to cater the Friday Welcome Picnic
and have the Saturday meal a catered barbecue meal. Cost per person
would be estimated on 300 attendees.
(3) Reunion Cost:
(a) After discussion, the Executive Board
established an inclusive fee of $10.00 per member and $12.00 for
non-members for meal costs. The cost was subject to firm per person
cost form the Shriner Fraternal Order and the selected barbecue
caterer. Board members agreed to confirm the membership cost via
e-mail and telephone vote. Costs over the actual meal costs would be
borne by the association.
(b) The Board discussed the purchase of
baseball caps for resale. The Treasurer provided a fact sheet showing
the cost to purchase caps for the last reunion along with other
unsold items on hand previously purchased by the association. He
noted that he still had 22 caps of the 200 purchased for the last
reunion. The majority of the Board members did not think there would
be a demand for baseball caps; however, he President stated that he
would check the cost to obtain additional cap. An alternative
suggestion was made to charge a flat meal cost of $12.00 per person
but provide a memento to each member, such as a coffee mug, and offer
the mug to non-members at cost of $5.00. The proposal was tabled
until the cost of the coffee mugs could be determined.

authorize the expenditure of $2,000.00 in support of the reunion.
This amount is in addition to the meal costs collected and the actual
catering costs.
