The board of directors meeting of the Haddonfield 65 Club was held
on Thursday August 1, 2019. President Jay
Cokos’s called the meeting to order at 10 AM. Roll was called and 12 members
were present.
The secretary read the board meeting minutes from July 11, 2019.
The minutes were approved as read.
Dave Tarditi gave the treasurers report for
June and it was approved for audit. He reported that we lost approximately $200
on the Phillies trip.
Membership
· The board accepted Charles Reinert and
John Testa as regular members in the club. Frank Lodge presented a draft letter to be
sent to Haddonfield resident club members announcing the membership drive. A
motion was made “to authorize postage to send letters to Haddonfield members
regarding the membership drive”. The motion passed. An article will also be
placed in the newsletter.
Speakers
· Saul Resnick reported, via Jay, that there
are no changes in speakers through the end of the year.
Trips
· Bill Brown commented that the walk from
the bus to the stadium was too far. He has contacted the Phillies organization and
suggested that they need some better way to facilitate bus drop-off access at
the games. This would be especially helpful for senior citizens.
· Bill also reported that the trip to
the Brandywine museum trip on September 24th currently has 7 or 8
people signed up. He is also looking into a trip to the Barnes museum as well
as a potential Christmas season trip.
Old Business
· Bill Brown reported that he has submitted
an article on the flea market to the local papers. He will try to have it
appear in multiple issues.
· Frank Lodge indicated that he currently
has 10 names of Haddonfield athletes that participated in major league sports
or the Olympics as well as one professional announcer and one NFL official.
· Jay again mentioned the need for a
Haddonfield Senior Citizen council contact. Walt Baker requested that he send
him the information.
· There was no further discussion on keeping the printed
version of the directory even regardless of cost.
New Business
· Howard Rementer reported that a woman at
Borough Hall is collecting old shoes. Somehow, she turns them into support for
the Pet Savers organization. You can drop old shoes off at RM 105 at Borough
Hall or you can give them to Howard at the club and he will make sure she gets
them.
· Jay
brought up the fall clean-up. It was agreed that we would set aside November 11th
for this activity.
· Dewaine Osman suggested that folks who
have pictures from club activities, such as the Phillies game, email them to
him for use in the newsletter.
· Bernie suggested that the database
manager should be on the board of directors. It was agreed that rather than
changing the By-Laws, he would be made on the directors to ensure his participation
on the board.
· Al Schmidt suggested that it is time to
start thinking about the Fall Festival. Multiple ideas were suggested to
attract people to our table including a photo poster of club activities, a list
of trips from the last year, a list of the year’s speakers and munchies such as
pretzels and mustard. Bernie volunteered to look for photos for a poster.
The meeting adjourned at 11:15
AM.
Respectfully submitted,
Bernie
Schaming, Secretary
