You could let us know that the dinner was a club Inauguration Dinner that the Board voted on paying for.
President Steve Brown thanked outgoing board member, JR Schiager, for his 2 years
service as Committee/Events Director. Steve reported that Dan Hughes had chosen not to
serve on the board at this time. Steve made motion that the club fund tonight’s Inaugural
Dinner/Board Meeting, motion approved.
I guess the real question is
were the club members included in the dues paid Inaugural Dinner,
can members attend board meetings? Can they attend Inaugurations?
But I'm sure the board has voted to spend club monies on stuff for
parts of the club before,
this time round it is the Board part.
There is plenty of legitimate focused spending... like maybe putting up a couple poles for the club Pylon guys. Or a wheelchair pilot station for a guy that needs one. Or spending for club freebies: Club BBQ Day.... or Inaugural Dinner.
Would we even be having this thread if that Inauguration was done with
a dues paid BBQ Day attended by all club members?
Was the Inauguration just a poorly promoted no-lead-time club dinner?
