Trips

· Bill Brown reported that we lost a minimal amount on the December trip to the Tropicana even though we had multiple cancellations.

Old Business

· Bud Pusatere, via Howard, thanked everyone who helped out on the Snowflake Run on December 1^st.

· Jay Cokos will provide a signup sheet for the Christmas party. He is suggesting that anyone who wants to bring food to the party bring an appetizer if your last name begins with A thru K and a dessert if your name begins with L thru Z.  This will prevent an overload of one or the other. David Tarditi volunteered to contact the Pine Barrens to attempt to get a quartet to perform. Bernie will send out an email to the local people with details since it did not appear in the December newsletter.

· Bill Brown made a motion “to withdraw the idea of changing the club to a tax-exempt organization”.  The motion passed.

 

New Business

· Al Schmidt presented a sample of a new banner for use at the Fall Festival. The board approved and Al will make one up encased in plastic for our use. The parade banner is way too big for this purpose.
