Treasurer’s Report
Terri discussed the latest FFBC financial picture.  Primavera showed a profit of $16,000.  Some of the money will be used to pay for new canopies.  Final Primavera expenses are not completely in.
The fraud situation is completely resolved.  We have an overdraft on the old account and Terri will investigate.

Director at Large
The club has signed up for a larger storage locker.   Ron brought a diagram which demonstrated a suggested layout of the new locker.  Ron will send out an email asking for help to move items to the new locker. 
Ron suggests purchasing 4 rolling shelves.  Motion to approve purchase was approved by board. 
1 bike case is currently out.

General Business
Donations
Lori Sommer presented the recommendations from the FFBC donation committee.  The budget is $2,000.

NOTE 1:  Split between local and general fund (local fund may be used to fund Bicycle Safety Class in Fremont)
NOTE 2:  Donation to Cycling Club via Newark Jr. High School/PTA, after receipt of fund request by club advisor, Mark Dieter

A vote on the proposed donations will take place at the next general membership meeting.

CPR Training
Alameda County Fire Dept (ACFD Program) did not respond to an inquiry about a free CPR class after multiple attempts. The board decided to offer a one-time CPR class to all interested club members.  The class would run 2 ½ to 3 hours and cost club members $20.  FFBC would pick up the additional $25/person.   Since there will be no July club meeting, we will hold the CPR class at 7:00 pm, Tuesday, July 9th at the usual location, at the Fremont Adult School.  Ken will send out the information to the club membership. Members will be asked to mail the check (CPR class) by the end of June. 

Next Term
Gary, Ron & Vanessa would like to continue their roles on the board.  The others are finishing their term.  The board will take recommendations for a nominating committee.  Please email Gary if you would like to be on the committee. 
Meeting adjourned at 7:35pm.

The next Board and General Meetings will be held on Tuesday, August 13th.
