Blue crab recap – numbers were down due to lack of exposure, club profited overall from the event, but more PR is needed next year and advertising needs to start earlier

 

Treasurer’s Report: Club has money set aside for two $1,000 Track and Field scholarships for outstanding male and female high school students; money now resides in CD; club also has various funds for upcoming events and future scholarships

 

Paid memberships discussed; membership for the GSRC is now set up for membership to last a full 365 days.  Prior to this, it was based on a calendar year.  Members will be given reminders to renew their membership 1 month and 1-week prior to their membership expiring.  Club needs to push membership and think of more benefits to offer paid members to gain more interest.

 

RRCA membership has been annualized and the GSRC is protected with insurance for club group runs and club races.

 

Club by-laws were discussed as well as the need for updated by-laws.  The current by-laws were written 6years ago when the GSRC was still under the “Myrtle Beach marathon umbrella”.  With the new board, there are plans to update these.

2010 Elections

Nominations and second nominations were made for all members.  A vote was then cast and the majority ruled.

President – Rick Lanigan

Finally, a dispute between two parties of an LLC of which the GSRC is part of was discussed.  The board members of the GSRC must decide to side with one of the two parties or choose to dissolve the LLC.  If the LLC is dissolved, there is a fear that the Turkey Trot 8K may be at risk.  The board members all concurred to hold off on the decision in order to understand all legal ramifications and the operating agreement of the LLC.
