Standing
Committees
·
Friendship – Dan Columbi is now on dialysis. It
is expected that he and Tish will make their October 17 club presentation. Bob
Parsons will make a video of their presentation.

Bob
Parson’s video open a significant discussion among the directors. The issue was
could a speaker bring a woman guest to hear her presentation. After considerable
discussion and disagreement, the directors agreed a speaker may bring a woman
guest. There was no formal vote on this
issue. The issues include the club’s purpose
and possible legal aspects. There were numerous positions and aspects of these issues
discussed, they are not being presented here. A more formal and detailed discussion
process is required.

·
Club Brochure
- John Asked Saul to review the brochure and update the pictures.
·
Al
Schmidt and John Cokos report on the proposed replacement of officers and
director for next year. The normal
progression of officers is distorted by Saul Resnick’s inability to become president
due to health issues. Neil Wise has agreed to return as president for a year with additional officer support
since he spends the winter in Florida. John and Al are working on providing the
necessary officer support. There was
some discussion and disagreement with this plan. The changes were not brought
to a formal vote. The plan will be presented,
with changes if necessary, at the next board meeting.
·
Directors and board member numbers. – the splitting
of the secretary position into three positions affects the number of officer
and director slots available. Bernie will
revise the by-laws to add two additional director spots and present the
revision to the board.
The
meeting adjourned at 11:10 AM.
Respectfully submitted,
Fred
Willis, Acting Secretary
