The board of directors meeting of the Haddonfield 65 Club was held
on Thursday September 5, 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 August 1, 2019.
The minutes were approved as read.
Dave Tarditi gave the treasurers report for
June and it was approved for audit.
Membership
· The board accepted Richard A. Bonnette as
a regular member in the club. In addition,
Richard Carney was accepted as a guest member. After discussion, a motion was made “to present all new members of
the club a 65 Club hat”. The motion passed.
Speakers
· Saul Resnick reported that there are no
changes in speakers through the end of the year.
Trips
·
Bill Brown
reported that the trip to the Brandywine museum trip on September 24th
has been cancelled due to lack of participation. Bill will talk to the Senior
Citizens United Community Services (SCUCS) regarding piggybacking on their trips.
This would alleviate our need to have a 40-person minimum for trips. The
minimum is driven primarily by bus costs.
Old Business
· Bill Brown reported that his article on
the flea market to the local papers has still not been published. If it does
not appear, this will impact our fundraising ability at the event.
· Jay reported that he has heard from Haddonfield
Senior Citizen Council contact. The contact information was given to Walt Baker
who volunteered to be the 65 Club representative on this council.
· Jay reported that the fall luncheon on
October 10th is set and speakers have been obtained. He also reported
that the Fall Festival is on Oct 12th and that at least two people are
needed for set-up. If we take the tent, 4 people would be better. Bernie
reported that he had designed a poster for use at the festival and now just
needs to print the pictures and mount on poster board.
· There was no further discussion on keeping the printed
version of the directory regardless of cost.
New Business
· Bill Brown announced that the wine &
cheese party will be November 9th at the Episcopal church hall from
7pm to 10pm. The cost will be $10 per person.
· With the resignation of Bernie as
secretary, the following changes to the club officers and directors will be
made. Fred Willis will assume the secretary position, Phil Kinsey will become
the newly created database manager and will take Fred’s place as a director.
Bernie will assume the director’s position vacated by the passing of Bud Pusatere.
· Howard Rementer suggested that the
passing of Bud and the fact that Ron Howley may not be able to act as
coordinator for the Children’s Diabetes Run this year will require new people
to act as coordinators. Bill Brown and Al Schmidt volunteered to assume this
role and will contact Ron Howley for any information that he may have.
· Bernie reported that he has no information
at this time on the Feed My Starving Children event coming up this fall.
· Saul Resnick announced that due to health
issues for both he and his wife, he will not be able to assume the presidency
next year as planned. This increases the number of position to fill for next
year. The nominating committee will begin to address this issue as soon as
possible.
The meeting adjourned at 11:15
AM.
Respectfully submitted,
Bernie
Schaming, Secretary
