Program Layout Contract Don finished negotiations with our designer for program layout. His normal design charge is 100+/hour, but he agreed to continue the small programs at $250 per program and the special 60th program at $400. ($1,400.00 total for the year)

Roses for reigning Monarchs Don proposed increasing the number of roses that a reign gets for the year from 16 to 18 dozen. The last increase was his and Dawnas year when it increased from 14 to 16 dozen. Following discussion about costs, ordering minimums, recovery of costs as a part of the Investitures budget, and much more, Don moved, Connie seconded, and the motion was approved.

New rose order To restock the roses used this year and prepare for the coming year Don proposed reordering the roses and backstock. The quote of $1,575 delivered was discussed. This puts the copper based roses at $5.25 base cost, more than the last order but about $250 less than the Giovannis were costing before they quit production. Don moved, Connie seconded, and the motion passed without opposition.

Square stand We borrowed Peacock Productions square stand for Coronation to rave reviews. It was faster than Paypal, connected better, was easier to use and paid into our account faster than PayPal. Don asked that we pay 149.99 for our own stand so that we don’t have to keep using Peacocks. Don moved, Connie seconded, and the motion passed without opposition.

Annual Budget The Annual Budget was presented. It moves to a reign cycle rather than a calendar year cycle like all other fiscal reports. Don discussed each line item, then Connie moved adoption, Don seconded, and the motion was approved unanimously after discussion. (budget attached)
