The board of directors meeting of the Haddonfield 65 Club
was held on Thursday January 7, 2016. President Kille called the meeting to
order at 10 AM. Roll was called and 11 members were present.
The secretary read the board meeting minutes from December 3,
2015. The minutes were approved as read.
Walt Baker gave the treasurers report and it was approved
for audit. In addition Walt informed the board that she has closed the Delaware
Cash Reserves Fund and moved the funds into a new 13-month CD with Republic
Bank that expires in January 2016.
Trips
· Bill Brown reported that we received
a refund for 10 tickets from the American Music Theatre and that we should
receive a refund for another 6 tickets sometime in January. Bill is now taking
reservations for a casino show trip on Wednesday, February 17th, coupled
with a wine tasting and lunch at the Tomasello winery. The Wednesday trip will
include the Everly Brothers show as well as $10 in slot play. Nothing has been
done on any additional trips at this time.
Membership
· Two applications for membership were
presented to the board for consideration. Neal Tully and John Fiorella were
accepted as regular members. In addition, Donald Gosnay was moved from the Gst
member list to full membership since non-resident membership has dropped below
15%.
Election report
· President Kille reported
that all is set for the election of officers. The slate of officers selected by
the committee will be presented, followed by nominations from the floor, voting
and installation on the January 14th business meeting.
Christmas Party
· Dennis reported that the
Christmas party was great. He advised that next year contact should be made
with Lakeland in advance so that there will be no difficulties delivering the
gifts. The board discussed having the Pine Barrons, either be a quartet or the
chorus, next year. This discussion was tabled until later in the year.
Wine and Cheese Party
· Bill Brown suggested that
we make a donation to Grace Episcopal Church for the use of their facility for
the wine & cheese party. After discussion, a motion was made and passed to
send a $100 donation to the church. Walt will write a check and Bernie will
write and send a letter with the donation.
5K Heart Run
· Bud Pusatere reported
that the 5K Run went well but that he counted less than 100 runners at the
event. A good time was had by all who
attended the event and the party at the club after the event.
Old Business
· Bud Pusatere also reported
that he has had further discussions with George Hutchinson regarding the club’s
involvement with the 5K Run.
He and Ron Howley expect to meet with George in the next couple weeks. After
checking with George, Bud reported that the Heart Fund maintains liability
insurance which eliminates the need for the club to take any action in this
area.
New Business
· Bernie Schaming reported
that there has been a complaint regarding member’s ability to print the
newsletter on standard paper since it is produced in legal size format. After a
brief discussion it was pointed out that if you print from the pdf version it
will automatically scale to letter size.
The meeting adjourned at 11:15AM.
Respectfully submitted,
Bernie Schaming, Secretary
