EC Meeting

Good Afternoon,

Randy Groover, Ruth Wadsworth and Nancy Johnson met on 8/10/09 for a short executive board meeting.

We discussed memebership which is on the upswing - need to get guests to join.

Development of our web site is going along very well and the next 6 months please note any changes you might want to see- if after 6 months you feel the same turn them in to Randy to discuss.

Our Club will have a booth at the San Mateo CountyBusiness Expo on 9/23/09 4-7 PM. This is a Mega-Mixer involving multiple Chambers of Commerce from San Mateo County. Ruth and Nancy to man the booth.

Google E-Mail is working for our web site Randy reported.

New Mentoring program to be announced - once a month meet to discuss items to assist new members - it was decided it was too much work for one-to-one mentoring that we have tried in the past.

Meeting adjourned by President Randy

Next meeting 9/14/09.
