Board of director meeting minutes
AICFC Board Meeting Minutes March 1, 2025
Members Present: Michelle Ames, Cheryl Babo, Rita Barnes, Marvin Presnall, Nancy Riggs and Jaleah Delphino-Smith
The meeting was called to order at 9:00AM and a verification of a quorum was provided by Cheryl.
The February 12, 2025 meeting minutes were reviewed and approved. Motion to approve made by Marvin and seconded by Nancy then unanimously approved by the board.
Chair’s Report:
Financial Audit: Cheryl reported that the audit has closed out the 2023 financials as they exist. The 2024 account statements were reconciled with QuickBooks through 12/31/2024. It was discovered that the QuickBooks fee of approximately $32 does auto transfer. The audit revealed more training on QuickBooks is needed as it appears as though there are some duplications of manual transactions. We need to let QuickBooks function as intended with less manual interventions. The balances for January 1, 2024 were $13,000 and $25,000 on 12/31/2024. However, some expenses (taxes for example) are coming due.
Had a meeting with the banker to discuss setting up the donation account which could be a savings account which could allow transfers of funds. If Stripe could be set up to go directly into this account only, then it would be easy to monitor. Stripe charges a flat percentage plus a 0.30 per transaction fee.
Discussion occurred related to the functionality of a donation button on our website, should we update our site’s security or have the donation button merely provide a link to a third-party donation processing company (Stripe, Donor Box, Pay-Pal etc.) so that we don’t need to change our site’s security.
Action Items:
Nancy and Michelle to work on updating gym web site to include donation button link to 3rd party service.
Cheryl, Nancy, Michelle, Jaleah and maybe Marvin to meet on March 4th to review/demo and select a third-party donation processing vendor.
Old Business:
Silver Sneakers first payment has been received. Siver and Fit payments are being received.
Jaleah requested that Silver Sneakers and Siver and Fit Id numbers be captured on new member forms. Board determined the best way to capture this info would be to include a series of fields similar to: Silver Sneakers, Silver and Fit yes/no then if yes, fields to enter 2 (for couples) Silver Ids.
Action Item: Michelle to update gym membership applications.
New Rate ($28.00) effective April 01, 2025. Need to update rates for board members in March to test the rate change in QuickBooks before actual increase. Board also discussed prorating first month’s fee if a new member joins before or after the 15th of a month, Rate is prorated for the first month if a member joins after the 15th. We also need to resend notification of new rate as well as including it on the web site and with a sign at the gym. In addition, we should include on our membership applications that membership includes a monthly newsletter just to ensure that members have given de facto permission to receive our emails.
Virtual Walk-A-Thon Event Insurance: Nancy provided a copy of the Move It Challenge Liability Waiver following it’s review and minor edit by legal firm Morton McGoldrich. Nancy continued to express concern about whether our general liability insurance is sufficient or if we need to get secondary event insurance which we have not been able to find for virtual multiday events. She will continue to reach out to our insurance carrier including emailing them the Move It Challenge Liability Waiver with the goal of having the carrier verify that our waiver is sufficient.
Nancy believes that we’ll need approximately 3 weeks from the go-ahead date to prepare for and publicize the event, which means that we’d probably target June or July for the event start date,
New Business:
New board members are needed both currently and in the Fall. Board discussed recruitment strategies including free membership for board members. Marvin made a motion that we provide a free house hold membership to new board members for the duration of their term. This motion was seconded by Nancy then unanimously approved by the board.
Open House:
Scheduled for March 15,2025 from 12-2PM to unveil proposed plans and renderings for the Guthrie facility.
Vice Chair’s Report: No report.
Treasurer’s Report:
The Treasurer’s Report was reviewed and discussed. January’s report will be corrected and resubmitted. New rate test discussion, see new rate above for information.
Request, please send all gym related emails only to Treasurer@aigym.org in order that Jaleah may better track gym related work and streamline her communications.
Secretary’s Report: Rita had nothing to report.
Communication’s Report: Nancy shared Virtual Walk-A-Thon progress, see above under old business.
Members at Large Reports:
Marvin had nothing to share.
Gym Manager’s Report: Michelle reported that in January and February the gym had 1,000 interactions.
Additional item: Jill A. requested that we donate a 1-month membership to the salmon bake silent auction. In the post we have donated a 6-month membership. Rita made a motion that we again donate a 6-month membership to the silent auction. This was seconded by Cheryl then unanimously approved by the board.

The next board meeting is set for April 5, 2025 at 9:00 AM in the Archival Building.
