News at a Glanceby Nancy Ellegate The HWFC Board of
Directors met on Tuesday,
December 18. Budget The bulk of the meeting
was devoted
to reviewing and discussing the proposed budget for 2008. One concern was the new
health
insurance plan for staff, which has a prescription drug maximum of
$2,000 per person
per year. Options to assist the few staff members who might exceed this
were
discussed. These included creating a fund to receive contributions,
cutting
discounts, and requesting suggestions during a membership meeting. It
was noted
that the Finance committee recommends that both staff bonuses and
year-end
coupons for working members be eliminated in 2008 because of
expenditure needs
for the new store. Staffing levels and new
marketing initiatives
were discussed. It was noted that the budget is a flexible document and
will
continue to be revised through the end of 2007. New Store The papers had been
formally signed
to purchase the Raising Funds A proposal for raising
funds for the
new store was circulated. It will be discussed at a future Board
meeting. Minutes Minutes of all meetings
