Old Business

Henry Leimkuhler will man the table.
· The Wine & Chees Party is set for November 4th
from 7 to 9 pm. Bill Brown and Al Schmidt will coordinate arrangements. After
discussion it was concluded that the cost will remain $5 per person for members
and spouses.
· Jay Cokos presented the board with some suggestions to
improve the flea market activity. The suggestions included the purchasing of a
tent with the club name to provide some shade. The tent would also be used for
the Fall Festival. Other suggestions include some type of rack, which could be
borrowed, for linens which we have not displayed well; having committed sign-up
for clean-up and breakdown; and additional help for packing up and delivering
items to the market. All good suggestions.
New Business
· Ron Howley reported that the 5K Heart Run has been
cancelled. However, Ron indicated that Bud Pusatere has been involved in the
Haddon Township diabetes run and their biggest problem is obtaining marshals
for the event. After discussion it was decided that the club offer to provide marshals
this year for the event which is held the Saturday after Thanksgiving. In
addition, Ron will investigate the club’s getting involved with the Heart
Association to determine what is involved for the club to take over and
re-initiate the 5K Heart Run. Bernie will send email notifying members that the
5K Heart Run is cancelled this year and that we will likely be involved with
the Haddon Township Diabetes Run instead.
· Bill Brown showed a new item to give male speakers as a
token of appreciation instead of a pen. The item is a bottle opener, corkscrew
combination imprinted with the club name. A motion was made and passed “To
purchase 50 of the combination bottle opener corkscrews”.
· Bill also reported that he plans to restart the movie
night this fall. The exact date has not been set. He also suggested starting a
lending library for DVDs at the club. This would be very informal. Members
could borrow a DVD and return it to the club when finished with it.
· In addition, Bill indicated that the Salvation Army is
again looking for volunteers for manning the Christmas kettles this Christmas season.
After discussion the board approved the clubs manning of the kettle at the Acme
for 1 day. Bill will select a day in conjunction with the Salvation Army.
The meeting adjourned at 10:45AM.
Respectfully submitted,
Bernie Schaming, Secretary
