<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">Thanks Justin for putting this together. Totally consistent with what we agreed to.</span>

<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">I am flexible about Board meetings. Thanks Dana for offering to host at your home. I am also good with doing some of these meetings via Zoom.</span>

<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">I met with Malcom (former Treasurer) and we had a good hand off meeting. Fortunately Malcom is very organized and kept good records and notes. Our account is with US Bank (Strawberry Branch in Mill Valley). Currently, Jennifer and Malcom are the designated signatories on the account. We are going to need some kind of <span style="text-decoration: underline;">formal Board Meeting record</span>, showing that Robert and I have been duly elected to our new roles. He and I will need, at some point, to meet up at US Bank to sign new signature cards that authorize us to write checks, make deposits, etc to the account. </span>

<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">Finally, As an reminder, the Board unanimously approved a motion allowing for the outreach committee members to purchase stickers up to $75.00 for distribution at future events (fair, farm day, etc.). Starting up the learning curve!</span>

Not sure I'll be able to make a second meeting every month. My preference would be to meet with the Board 5:15 - 6:30 and then start the meetings with the 6:30-7 welcome.

<p>Dear Board Members,</p>
<p>Thank you all for your input and participation at our recent board meeting. I am excited about the direction we have agreed upon for our monthly association meetings and wanted to summarize the proposed format moving forward.</p>
<p><strong>Monthly Meeting Schedule</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>6:00 PM</strong> – Members gather in the bar area for refreshments and an opportunity to socialize with fellow beekeepers.</li>
<li><strong>6:30 PM</strong> – Meeting begins upstairs with a formal welcome and member introductions, hosted by Justin, Paul, Dana, and other board members.</li>
<li><strong>7:00 PM – 7:15 PM</strong> – President’s update on current hive conditions, seasonal beekeeping considerations, and words of wisdom.</li>
<li><strong>7:15 PM – 8:15 PM</strong> – Featured educational lecture or presentation.</li>
</ul>
<p>I am very excited to help plan our upcoming meetings and educational programs. I believe this format will provide a great balance of fellowship, club business, and quality beekeeping education.</p>
<p>Additionally, I would like to propose that we schedule our board meetings for the <strong>third Thursday of each month at 5:30 PM</strong>, approximately two weeks after our general club meeting. If there are no objections, we can begin planning around those dates moving forward.</p>
<p>Please let me know your thoughts.</p>
<p>Thank you,</p>
<p>Justin Strom<br>Education Director<br>Marin County Beekeepers Association</p>
