We received $250 from Hometown Bank and $100 from Dr. Schmidt. Other letters were sent out for donations and we are starting to receive more donations from our loyal sponsors’ such as Chateau Elan. We have donation letters and promissory notes available if there is someone you would like to contact.
Larry Hanna is working on new forms for our logo.
By-Laws. Bob brought up the subject of the by-laws only to state that postcards were sent out to all members, they are posted on the internet to read and to be prepared to vote for or against them at the October meeting. Jan commented that she would like to receive a hard copy of them. We did not discuss the possibility of copies made for those that wanted them.
Doug has contacted every event manager. It was suggested that every event manager should have an assistant to help make the event run more smoothly.
There will be some changes in our games. Shuffleboard will be held on two days. One day at Bethesda and one at George Pierce Park. It will run from 10-2 P.M. No members will be able to sign up after 2 P.M. to play.
Game nights will be held on the 3rd Monday of each month at Bethesda Park after the first of the year to practice.
Lana asked Eileen if we could have 3 on 3 basketball competition. We will have to discuss it at a later meeting.
Billiards will be held at George Pierce Park because of their beautiful billiards room. It could accommodate more players at one time.
Cleo will take over basketball shooting this year.
Cycling will be Apr 25th, Chris will be in charge and Dianne will help. Others will schedule their event today at the end of the meeting.
Jan wants to bring the swimming competition to the Sugarloaf Branch of the Y. She is working on it.
T-Shirts will be a variety of colors this year, in order for us to get them free.
Food. We had a suggestion about serving a brunch instead of breakfast at the closing. This way the members will stay and play games, stay for the meeting and then eat. This way we will avoid too much food being leftover We will need 3 people for the food committee.
Bob asked us to think about a gift to give to our members at the opening meeting.
Eileen made a motion to end the meeting. Doug seconded it.
Our next meeting will be October 15, 2007 at 10:00 P.M.
Sincerely,
