Trips

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. John’s for any Tuesday in July to visit their facilities. This will be discussed at the regular Thursday meeting.

Old Business

· Al Schmidt reported that another parade meeting will be held on June 14^th 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
