lunches. We have a 30 plate at $16 per plate minimum of purchases required contractually withcontractually with
our EdCC catering, our lunch provider, and we are falling short of the number of lunch purchases to break even.
On to Service Programs, Larry explained FY 2015 budget version 1, which was based on requests, and the 2015
budget version 2 which included the modifications that Larry suggested to balance the service budget. A decrease in
planned spending of $16,630 was needed to balance the budget.
It was decided to require the Valentine’s dinner committee and the Santa Breakfast committee to raise funds to
support those events in the amounts of $1,000 and $1,500, respectively.
With regard to Vocational Service proposed spending, Ken explained the request to support Partners for Work in the
amount of $2,000.00. Kids who have finished school and are working at business to learn job skills. $2,000 is a sub-
category under the Vocational Service Expense line item.
Then the Community Service expenses were discussed. A significant discussion occurred regarding our budget line
item for the Celebrate Lynnwood. It was decided to reduce the funding to $2,500 from $5,000 and to move the
spending request line item 734 to Club Operations for PR from the service budget. Apparently attendance was
somewhat disappointing. Boys & Girls Club support line item was explained. Edmonds School Dist. Project was
explained. It was decided to reduce the funding to $375 from $1,000. Operation Warm was discussed. It was
suggested to drop the funding to $1,500 and ask TJ Max for a $1,000. It was ultimately decided to leave the
proposal alone and change the line item if TJ Max comes through with support.
The International Service spending request was discussed. It was decided to reduce the budgeted spending to $8,000
from $15,000 and to require the International Committee to present spending requests to the RCL Board when
sufficient information was available for specific international projects.
The Youth Service spending request was discussed.projects were discussed. RYLA, Student of the Month, and
Roteact Rotaract, and were discussed. Youth Challenge Award’s were discussed. line item cost remains the same.

Club Service Report:
None other than what was brought up during the budget presentation.
International Service Report:
International Service was discussed. It was explained that it takes usually takes two years to fund and complete an
international service project. Therefore it is difficult to know what we would should budget since the grant process
requires our club to commit a certain amount funds before we can ask other clubs and the district to join us.
Membership Chair Report:
Inae reported that we are focusing on membership in August. She emphasized that every Club member should be a
member of at least one committee, which could include having “a committee sign up day”. It was suggested by
Wayne that we change that emphasis to September so we can use the Club assembly meeting that month as
Committee sign up day. Beth moved and Sue seconded and unanimously passed to renew honorary members Jim
Doughety, Milt Scott, Michael Reagan, Dee Setting for the year 2014-15 and to add John Burbank as a new
honorary member.
