2. Building & Maintenance Report (Jerry Z.):
Jerry updated the board on maintenance items. He pulled weeds around the building and is working with John K. to ensure the lawn is mowed regularly. In the kitchen, Jerry fixed the clogged drain for the coffee pots and some of the drawers in the cabinets. He heard some noise coming from the AC units and had Wenzel inspect; nothing was found, and all is well. He fixed the drinking fountain to increase the strength of flow. Jerry plans to replace ceiling tiles in the men’s restroom in coming weeks. He was also asked to contact the vending company about the dollar bill changer not working correctly on the candy machine.

Bill has agreed to provide a count for purposes of planning food purchases. A sign-up sheet has been posted at the club for members to volunteer to help with this event and list the food items they plan to bring. Members are encouraged to bring games to play at the picnic.
