he has received multiple donations from people who greatly enjoyed the trip. Bill also reported
that he has 39 people signed up for the Middletown trip and the notice in the
local paper just showed up this week. Bill also received an invitation from St.

held on June 14th at 12:45 prior to the regular business
meeting. Bernie agreed to have calling
lists available for that meeting.
· Al Schmidt reminded
the board that the spring cleanup will take place after next week’s business
meeting. Henry has been unable to get any definitive response from our neighbor
regarding any cleanup help.
· Jay Cokos reported that he has looked
into obtaining a 10’ x 10’ tent for use at the flea market and at the Fall
Festival. The cost of the tent would be approximately $450 including the club’s
name printed on three sides of skirt. A motion was made to “Authorize Jay to
define the details and purchase a tent with our name imprinted for use at the
flea market and the fall festival”. The motion passed.
· A summer wine & cheese party was
discussed and it was concluded that we will drop the idea of a summer event and
keep the single wine & cheese in November,
New Business
· Bill Brown raised the idea of converting our non-profit
status from a 501C (7) to a 501C (3) corporation. This would provide the
benefit of tax-exemption on all the club’s purchases especially the trip
luncheons.
The meeting adjourned at 11:00
AM.
Respectfully submitted,
Bernie Schaming, Secretary
