August 5, 2021
The Board of Directors meeting of the Haddonfield 65 Club was held
on Thursday August 5, 2021. The meeting was held in the 65 Club clubhouse which
had been recently opened
President Frank Lodge called the meeting to order at 10:00 AM. Roll was called and twelve (12) board members
were present.
Minutes – Fred Willis
- The July minutes had been distributed previously
for the Directors review. No changes
were required and the Directors approved the minutes as previously distributed
and posted.
President’s Report – Frank Lodge
- The President stated it seemed strange to sit at
the end of the meeting table even though it was August. This was reference to the many zoom meetings
the Directors have held.
Treasurers Report – Hank Zaleski
· Hank reported the club’s income and expenses
were almost equal for July. Financially the club is in good shape.
· The look ahead for the year shows the club
is well within its budget. Approximately one third of the clubs’ spending is provided
by the Green Jar contributions.
· The bylaws require an annual audit of the Treasurer’s
report and budget; the audit has not been done for several years. An audit will
be performed in February for 2018 though 2021.
The audit will be conducted by Dave Tarditi, Walt Baker and two members selected
by them.
· The Directors approved the treasurers
report.
· Dave Tarditi recommended all expenses incurred
by the club should be paid directly by the club. Members should not pay for items or repairs
and then be reimbursed by the club. To assist with this action Hank will apply
for a club credit card at TD bank.
· The Directors approved of this approach to
club payments.,

Membership
– Dave Tarditi
- Dave is working on methods to better contact
potential members. He will present his
thoughts and methods at a future meeting.
The important issue is establishing a personal contact with the potential
member.
- Walt Baker commented, that from his experience,
if a person comes to an organization meeting three times, they generally
join the organization.
- Dave is still investigating the veterans
list Bill Brown provided.
- There was a suggestion that the club
send out notice to members weekly on the upcoming speaker. This message will be sent out on Tuesday
and will include a small writeup on the speaker, if possible. It is hoped this will remind and entice members
to attend the weekly meeting.
- Churches are beginning to open and
more potential members may see the club brochures at their church.
Trips/
Events – Bill Brown
- The club will support the Children’s Diabetes run
the Saturday after Thanksgiving, if support is requested.
Old
Business
- Al Schmidt distributed a description of the club’s
equipment and capabilities to display audio visual information.
- Insurance
- Tim Barnes reported on the club’s liability
insurance. The club’s policy does
not cover lawyer fees or liability damage if someone is injured by or in
a private vehicle, driven by a club member, in a club sponsored event. The
liability passes to the individual member and possibly club members though
that is unclear. Upgrading the club’s
liability policy to cover these issues at an affordable price, is not possible, with the current
insurance issuer.
- Tim found another insurance provider who will increase
the club’s liability coverage and cover the driving issue for an increase
in insurance rate of about $100 per year.
- The Directors authorized Tim to change the
policy and insurance provider by August 23. Tim Barnes, Frank Lodge and Hank Zaleski
will perform the required legal actions and make the insurance policy change.
New
Business
- Flea market. – September 11. The club will participate
in the Lions sponsored Flea Market.
Objects for sale may be brought to the club house. The Flea Market will be held at the
Archer parking lot.
The meeting adjourned at 11:15
AM.
Respectfully submitted,
Fred
Willis, Secretary
