The board of directors meeting of the Haddonfield 65 Club
was held on Thursday April 7, 2016. President Wise called the meeting to order
at 10 AM. Roll was called and 12 members were present.
The secretary read the board meeting minutes from March 3,
2016. The minutes were approved as read.
Walt Baker gave the treasurers report and it was approved
for audit. In addition, Walt reported that seven members resigned or failed to
pay dues this year and will be dropped from the roles. The new member directory for 2016 will now be
put together for distribution at the Ladies Luncheon.
New Members
· Larry Walsh was approved for
membership in the club. In addition, Walter Wolf was approved as a guest
member.
· There was also a suggestion made
that non-members who participate in our activities be subject to an annual
charge to help defray the costs of the club. After discussion it was concluded
that rather than charge a fee an email would be sent to non-members suggesting
that an annual contribution would be welcomed by the club to help defray the
costs of the various activities.
Trips
· Bill Brown reported the casino
trip was very successful. Everyone enjoyed the trip and we made a few dollars
as well. After all expenses, we made $155
in profit. There was a suggestion that we keep a slush fund for the trips and
adding trip profits to the fund and using those same funds when we have a
shortfall on a trip. There was no decision made and the idea was tabled for
further discussion at a later time.
· In addition, Bill reported that
he is looking into a trip which would combine the car museum in Philadelphia
with a tour of the Link. If held in the summer, the use of a school bus or
private cars will be considered.
Spring Luncheon
· The Spring Ladies Luncheon will
be held on May 12th. Bob Parsons reported that all is ready and that
he will begin making phone call next week. Bill Brown requested that Bob look
into providing the high school students with lunch or dessert in return for
their performance.
Old Business
· There was no old
business.
New Business
· Bernie Schaming reported that he received a suggestion for
the newsletter. Perhaps we could publish photos of members between the ages of
2 and 8 years and see how many members can guess the identity of the person in
the photo. The photo would be published
in the newsletter and the following month, the result would be presented,
perhaps with a current photo. The board liked the idea and thought it would be
a fun thing to do.
· Neil Wise announced that
he forming a bowling team to participate in the Big Brothers/ Big Sisters Bowl
for Kids event to be held on Saturday April 16th. He would like to
put together a 65 Club team. He will also accept any donations to the activity
which provides one on one mentoring for kids at risk.
The meeting adjourned at 10:55AM.
Respectfully submitted,
Bernie Schaming, Secretary
