Annual Meeting

Fulton Country Club Membership

October 8, 2008


 The meeting was called to order by Pres. Bielenberg. 
A welcome was offered to the membership.
 A brief summary of what had been completed for the 
Club was given. The shingling of the cart sheds has 
been completed and a new air conditioner has been 
put in place upstairs.
 The current financial statement was presented by 
Rich Winkel, C.P.A., Clifton Gunderson. The statement
 is very strong showing that income has increased 
and expenses have decreased. Due to the increased 
income it will be possible to apply $30,000.00 to 
the Club's current debt. The current interest rate 
on the present debt is 5% and the current interest 
rate on the C.D. Is 3.6%.
Our Superintendent Josh offered his comments. Josh 
reports a very “slow” start to his employment. On 
his beginning he encountered trouble with water in 
the gas. “Nothing would run”. He then expressed his 
appreciation to Dick Thoms for ball retrieval, 
Bob Taylor, for flowers, and of course Jerry and Wayne.
 His plans for next year are to have prairie grass 
and flowers planted in the “no-mow areas”. The mound
 on #1 fairway will remain, it has been seeded, 
fertilized and will be kept mowed. The old bunker 
on the back of #7 will remain and it too will be 
kept mowed.
 Ben Ehrhart voiced that he thought that the 
“course looks great” and complimented Josh on his
 “good work”.  

 Election Results: New Board Members are:
1. Paul Hamstra
2. Jack Utroska
3. James Hlubek

 Present at the meeting, including proxies, 
was 51. By-law changes #1 and #2 were voted on 
and both were passed.

 The nomination committee chairman for next year 
will be Darrell Schmidt. He will secure a committee
 and report that to the Board Secretary.

 The meeting was adjourned and a sincere “ thank you” 
was given by out going President Richard Bielenberg 
for his service to the Club.

Respectfully submitted,
L. Gilbert, Rec. Sec.
