The board of directors meeting of the Haddonfield 65 Club
was held on Thursday February 5, 2015. President Kille called the meeting to
order at 10 AM. Roll was called and 10 members were present.
Prior to the regular meeting Rob Wilby, a member of the Y’s
Men club briefed the board on their organization and its activities. The intent
was to exchange information about our organizations in hopes of attracting new
members for either club.
The secretary read the board meeting minutes from January
8, 2015. The minutes were approved as read.
Walt Baker gave the treasurers report and it was approved
for audit. Walt reported that there are still 50 members who have not paid
their dues. Walt raised a question regarding memorial contributions when a
member passes away. What do we do when the obituary makes no mention of where
to send memorials.
After discussion, a motion was made “To send memorial donations to the Haddonfield Foundation when no other option is mentioned in an obituary”. The motion passed.

Old Business
New Business
· President Kille reported that
David Hunter requested a meeting with the board to solicit our participation in
Haddonfield Soup. After a brief discussion, the board agreed that we should
table this for the time being. It was generally felt that the potential benefit
did not justify the cost.
· Dennis also brought up the
opportunity to have the AAA hold a driving class at our facility. We would need
to have approximately 30 people to justify having an on-site course. The course
results in an auto insurance discount of 3-5%. The board agreed that we should
proceed to find out if we can get sufficient people.
· Dennis initiated a discussion on
the spring luncheon. Bill Brown reported that Mayor Kasko will have a
proclamation honoring the club’s 60 year anniversary. He also suggested having
Bob Parsons put together a video history of the club and perhaps have people
discuss what the process is to win the various trophies. In addition he
reported that we have an offer to also have the young violinist.
· Bill Brown reported that the
Feed My Starving Children event is coming up. After discussion it was agreed
that the club would again participate. Bernie Schaming agreed to access the web
site and sign up the club. We will begin to solicit volunteers from the
membership. A motion was made “To make the same donation to this event as we
have in the past”. The motion passed. Past donations have been $200.
The meeting adjourned at 11:15am.
Respectfully submitted,
Bernie Schaming, Secretary
