Present were Bob Bennett, Mike Schneider, and Maureen Ewell.
Reports:
Secretary’s Report: The January minutes were approved.
Treasurer’s Report: Maureen reported a $200 net gain per month for the past 7 months. The treasurer’s report was approved.
Building and grounds: Maureen will notify Jorje at Denver Lawn Service when to turn sprinklers back on.
Rentals: Bob states that the rentals are strong, however, there has not been a big rush to return to in-person meetings. Bob is inclined to let the process run its course. Bob’s Sunday morning 9:00 class is now in-person only. We have lost the monthly Sufi dancers due to the double scheduling of their class last month. Money was returned to Sara Rain for a refund of the March and April rental pre-payment. Bob spoke to Sara regarding the fact that RMMC has appreciated her long-standing rental of the RMMC space. Bob also now has all rentals listed on his iPhone calendar.
New Business: Mike has proposed that the Board look at the option of selling the property or consider opening up the building to other groups. From a business perspective, we are on a verge of not being very competitive. One suggestion is to ‘hang it up.’ If we would retain ownership and lease out the building, we may not continue to be a non-profit organization. Proceeds from the sale of the property would be forwarded to the Foundation of Inner Peace, Miracle Distribution Center, and/or other ACIM groups. Maureen will talk to Liisa about this idea, and Bob will talk to previous Board members and presidents. Mike will draft a proposal to the membership that can be discussed when he leads the Gathering in May.
The meeting was adjourned at 1:10 pm. The next meeting will be Sunday, July 10, at 12:30 pm.
Respectfully submitted by Maureen Ewell, Secretary.
