The board of directors meeting of the Haddonfield 65 Club
was held on Thursday March 3, 2016. In the president’s absence, Vice President Leimkuhler
called the meeting to order at 10 AM. Roll was called and 10 members were present.
The secretary read the board meeting minutes from February 4,
2016. 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 there are still 14 members
who have not paid their dues for 2016. All delinquent members have been called.
Bernie reported that letters have been sent to the 14 members
Trips
· Bill Brown reported the casino
trip has 14 people signed up. A discussion followed regarding the viability of
the trip. A motion was made to continue the trip regardless of the number of
people committed. The motion resulted in a tie vote. Bill contacted Safety Bus
and got an extension to the 14th for a commitment. A second motion
was made to extend the deadline for the cancelation of the trip to March 14th.
The motion assed. If we don’t have sufficient people signed up to break even on
the trip, it will be cancelled at that time.
Spring Luncheon
· The Spring Ladies Luncheon will
be held on May 12th. Henry urged members to bring guests to the
luncheon as way to promote membership in the club. The luncheon speaker will be
Roger Clark, a local resident who has recently been nominated for the Nobel
Peace Prize. In addition, Julia Chin and a small group from the high school
will provide music for the event during cocktails.
4th of July Parade
· Mike Underwood reported
that he will convene the first meeting for the parade sometime in April.
Old Business
· As a result of the
investigation into new members added in 2015, a motion was made to “present
Bill Brown with a check for $100 as the winner of the contest to bring in the
most new members in 2015”. The motion passed.
· Bud Pusatere and Ron
Howley have been attempting to meet with George Hutchinson regarding the 5K Run.
It appears that although George initially wanted to become less involved with
the event, that may no longer be the case. We will do nothing at this point
unless and until they hear from George.
New Business
· Bud Pusatere announced that he is investigating the
possibility of a special outing with the Phillies for the Club. He will keep us
informed.
· A suggestion was made to
include cell phone numbers in the directory this year. After some discussion it
was agreed that we will give members the option to have either their home phone
or their cell phone listed in the directory. A notice will be put in the April
newsletter to provide Bernie with their cell phone number if that is what they
want in the directory.
· Henry reported that we
are out of business cards and requested that additional cards printed. Al
Schmidt agreed get the cards made.
The meeting adjourned at 11:15AM.
Respectfully submitted,
Bernie Schaming, Secretary
