The hearing regarding unemployment benefits for a past employee was cancelled due to illness. It was continued to this coming Friday. James has asked for another continuance since President Stelford will not be available. James has not yet heard whether this will be granted.
The new cooler doors are here. The installation will be scheduled at a time when the inventory is lower and when the various technicians needed can find a common time. The date for the store closing during this installation should be set soon.
Inboden’s store has been contacted regarding the water that drains onto the DSC property. Mr. Inboden has promised to take care of the problem shortly. Since there has not been a lot of rain recently there has not been a significant problem yet. If no action is taken soon, James will contact them again.
James has contacted the people at the Rock River Times that were mentioned last month, but has not heard back from them.
Sales are doing well. DSC currently is averaging $2300 a day.
The General Membership meeting will be November 13 at 5 p.m. The major topic will be a review and discussion of possible plans for a reset.
Three board members need to be elected to positions on the board at this meeting. James will think about possible people to invite to serve on the board. Anyone who is interested may indicate to James or any board member his or her willingness to serve.
Naples mentioned that there must be a Finance Committee meeting before the next board meeting. James will try to get the third quarter financial material done as soon as she can so that the committee can meet in a timely manner.
Naples declared the meeting adjourned at 8:03 p.m.
