Golf Outing (May 19) – Mike Joyce reported that Kline
Creek is confirmed. Format, costs, etc. are staying
essentially the same as last year. Waiting to hear
from NI what charity they want to select. As for
sponsorship levels, will offer $500 specialty contests
and $400 holes. Mike noted that some of NI’s sponsors
automatically get golf sponsorships because of their
internal program benefits. Deadline for sponsorships
and RSVPs is May 6th. Invitation scheduled to go out
next week. Chris Janson will be reaching out to all the
sponsors and tracking who signs up with Michelle from
the IFMA office.

Community Service
04-6
Marie reported that progress on the bowl-a-thon is
moving forward. Unfortunately, several people who
committed to hosting a team pulled out (had 38
teams, it went down to 24 and now back up to 32).
She suggested we require a non-refundable deposit
next year at the time of signing up as a team captain.
The spectator fee, how many we allow and what to
charge was discussed. The consensus was that the
spectator fee would be $100 – chapter receives $25
and the Foundation $75. An email needs to be sent
announcing this spectator option and how they can
pay for it.
Professional Development
04-7
Cristina reported that the March program went very
well with just over 40 attendees. No program
planned in April.
- May 10– IFMA/ARMA program; East Bank Club.
Income/expenses to be split 50/5. Each chapter
to take their own RSVPs however, ARMA
administrator (Kathy Daloia) will attend the event
and check in people.
- May 11 – BuildX program on the new regulations
for ADA. $25pp at 2:30; registrations will be
handled by BuildX. Kevin to confirm if the reg
fees will be given directly back to the chapter.
Still need to determine if we are going to do the
Symposium (Sept. 15-16/Thurs-Fri) we probably do
not have to have to have a September program.
