The secretary read the board meeting minutes from May 2, 2019. The
minutes were approved as read.
Dave Tarditi gave the treasurers report for
April and May and they were approved for audit. Dave reported that we made a
small amount of money on the Ladies Spring Luncheon. There was a discussion regarding
how to handle the funds from the 50/50 raffles. It was concluded that the 50/50
proceeds will be included in the accounting for each of the events in which the
raffle is held.
Membership
· Tom Rocereto and Bob Fisler were approved
as regular members of the club.
Speakers
· Saul Resnick reported that he now has only
two open dates for speakers through the end of the year.
Trips
· Bill Brown reported that the trip to
the Brandywine will be coupled with a visit to the Hagley museum as well as a
restaurant. He is waiting for details
from the restaurant. This trip is being planned for September 25. The cost of
the trip will be $85.
· Bill indicated that notices have been put
in the local papers for the Phi9llies trip. There are still approximately 20
tickets available for the July 30 game.
· Bill reported that there is still room on
the bus for the tour and lunch at the Evergreens on June 18th.
Old Business
· Frank Lodge reported that the plans for
the July 4th parade are set. We will have a 120 ft timeline of
significant events in Haddonfield history. This will consist of eight 20-foot
pvc pipes with the event signs attached. We will need two people to carry the
Club banner and a minimum of 16 people to carry the timeline. Since we don’t
have enough cardboard for all the signs, Frank purchased new slightly smaller
cardboard to be used. Two weeks prior to the parade, after a regular meeting,
the posters will be attached to the cardboard. Cost for all material is
approximately $120.
· Bernie Schaming reviewed the timeline
for the September flea market. Request for donations will go into the newspapers
in mid-August. Bernie will coordinate with Al Schmidt and Mike Underwood for transporting
items to the flea market and getting the tables set up.
· Bill
Brown reported that the facility at Grace Episcopal Church has been obtained by
Al Schmidt for the November 9th Wine & Cheese party.
· Jay Cokos contacted the Haddonfield Senior Citizens Board
to obtain more information regarding the duties of board members. The board
meets 3 or 4 times per year. If anyone is interested in joining this board,
please contact Jay.
· Fred Willis has volunteered to take on the secretary job
for a two-year period. In addition, Phil Kinsey has volunteered to take on the
database management function. Bernie will get together with Fred and Phil to go
over the material that he has.
· A discussion was had regarding the publishing of the
directory. Bernie indicated that the cost for the directory this year was
nearly $200. He suggested that we should consider emailing the directory
listing to all those who normally receive the monthly newsletter via email. The board agreed. This will reduce the need
for printed directories to about 50, 34 for members without email plus extras
for incoming new members.
New Business
· Bill Brown reported
that the Japan Exchange is looking for host families for the increased number
of students coming this year. Jay will bring this up at the regular meeting.
· A request has been
made for the club to participate in the Project Poppy for 2020 introduced at
the Memorial Day ceremony this year. Dave Tarditi will obtain additional
information regarding how the club might participate in this project.
The meeting adjourned at 11:00
AM.
Respectfully submitted,
Bernie
Schaming, Secretary .
