Senior committee approves event budgets, Playhouse outing and April bingo invoice
Summary
The committee approved multiple event-related budgets and invoices: a $1,610 Gardinos invoice for the April bingo, a $500 budget for a spa event, $200 for spring decorations and a May 15 Playhouse outing with a $10-per-person fee (committee to subsidize remaining costs for up to 40 participants).
The senior committee approved several event-related budgets and invoices at its March meeting, voting to fund food, outings and decorations for spring activities.
The treasurer reported an approximate balance of $17,133.15 through Sept. 30, noting the figure could change as credit-card charges clear. After a brief review of sponsorships and permits, the committee approved an invoice of $1,610 from Gardinos to cover food boxes for the April bingo, with members indicating no nays were heard and the motion passing.
Members also debated a preemptive budget for an upcoming spa event intended to provide snacks, water and modest refreshments for staff and attendees if sponsor support is not available. The committee approved a $500 allocation to cover those needs, to be adjusted if outside sponsorships provide the items free of charge.
On outings, Omar Sa moved to add a Playhouse event (listed in materials as Main Street/Miami Lakes Playhouse) and to charge participants $10 each to cover entrance and food; the committee agreed to absorb the remaining estimated $5 per person for up to 40 attendees. The motion, later clarified to select May 15 at 2 p.m. for the performance, passed without recorded opposition. The committee allocated up to $300 for finger food for the Playhouse outing, and the total committee exposure for that event was recorded as roughly $500.
The group also agreed to proceed with a movie outing in April (ticket price consistent with prior practice at about $15 per person) and approved $200 for simple spring decorations (centerpieces and small table items) for an upcoming spring social scheduled noon–3 p.m. on Friday the 27th. Members noted the DJ’s fee had been arranged earlier in the year and would be processed when the vendor submits an invoice.
A subcommittee to plan senior games was scheduled for March 23 at 6:00 p.m.; members said a brief agenda would be circulated. With these items settled the committee adjourned at approximately 6:59 p.m.
Attribution notes: several procedural votes were recorded on the transcript as "hearing no nays" with no roll-call tallies provided. Specific motions recorded by the secretary included Omar’s motion to add the Playhouse outing; other motions such as approval of the Gardinos invoice and the spa budget were moved and seconded during discussion but speakers who made those motions were not consistently named in the transcript.
