The board of directors meeting of the Haddonfield 65 Club was held
on Thursday March 1, 2018. President Al Schmidt called the meeting to order at
10 AM. Roll was called and 14 members were present.
The secretary read the board meeting minutes from February1, 2018.
The minutes were approved as read.
Dave Tarditi gave the treasurers report
and it was approved for audit. After discussion a motion was made “To allow the
treasurer to investigate and select the appropriate bank for CD rollover”. The
motion passed.
Membership
The board approved Robert Turner and
Joseph Hillegas for membership in the club.
Trips
· Bill Brown
reported that the trip the 911 Museum is proceeding better than anticipated.
There are already 32 people signed up for this trip and most have already paid.
Spring Luncheon
·
Entertainment was discussed for the Ladies Spring Luncheon. Bill Brown will
solicit Julia Chin for the event.
Old Business
· Al Schmidt reiterated
the need for a new chaplain. After discussion, David Tarditi volunteered to
take on this role.
· The board once again discussed the duties
of the 1st and 2nd Vice Presidents of the club. After the
appropriate modifications, the writeups will become part of the information
passed on to incoming vice presidents.
· A discussion
was held on fundraising activities. It was noted that various restaurants will
contribute 15 – 20% of a total bill to a 501c (3) charity. There may be
limitations on times and days for these activities. The purpose of such an
event is more for the social aspects than for fundraising. It provides another
opportunity for members and spouses to get together while at the same time
generating funds for some organization. A suggestion was made to perhaps join
with folks from the Fortnightly on such an activity.
· Mike
Underwood reported that the Historical Society will take all of the club’s old
slides and corresponding notes for preservation. They were happy to get them
since they are primarily all local people in the slides. They will store and
preserve them in a proper fashion.
New Business
· It has been
suggested that our Tri-fold brochure is getting a little old. Since we don’t
have too many on hand, it is time to update and produce more of these
brochures. Jim Dunn volunteered to take some new pictures as part of the
update.
· In addition
to the brochure, we will also generate reprints of the recent newspaper article
on the club as an additional handout.
Bernie will make up a master and give it to Bill Brown for reproduction.
· Mike
Underwood asked members to start thinking about themes for the 4th
of July parade. It is never too early to start thinking about this event.
Perhaps something related to Armistice Day since this year is the 100th
anniversary of the armistice signed between the Allies of World War I and
Germany in 1918.
· Henry
Leimkuhler noted that the Kroc Center is now giving books to the homeless so
our book donations are greatly appreciated.
· It was
decided that the club will sign up again to support the Feed My Starving Children
event. Bernie will attempt to reserve a block of slots for our participation.
· It was decided that April 12th
will be the date for our spring cleanup. The activity will take place following
the business meeting on that day.
The meeting adjourned at 11:15
AM.
Respectfully submitted,
Bernie Schaming, Secretary
