Minutes of Meeting of Sept. 18, 2014


  1. Call to Order: Dorothy opened the meeting at 9:30am with the Pledge of Allegiance, and then shared some great jokes. Walt spoke up at this time requesting members fill out stat sheets with information about themselves. This is being done to know more about "who are the seniors?".
  2. Host/Hostess: Barb L. and Susan D: Welcome back to members who have returned after an absence. We had one guest present. Barbara announced at this time that there is a Memorial service for Alice Behnke on Friday @ 3:00 PM at the Redemptorist Renewal Center on Picture Rocks Road. Alice passed away on Sunday morning….
  3. Vice-President: Larry L.: We have 105 active members and 3 inactive members. Larry informed the group that about half of the list of members has been contacted regarding nominations for officers and committees. The remainder will be contacted shortly.
  4. Secretary: Jeanne is covering for Barbara until her return. Minutes of last week were approved and accepted. 40 members attended today.
  5. Treasurer: Carol: Reported that the total in the treasury is currently at $1218.00. Payment is due for T-shirts for the upcoming SCRCR 20th Anniversary Celebration. Shirts are $8.50 each.
  6. Coordinators’ Reports:
    1. Refreshments: Coffee and pastries are 1.00 each.
    2. Sunshine: Sandy P.: a.) Nancy P. had her surgery and is doing very well – already in rehab! c.) Bo is currently back at home and is getting home therapy. d.) Patty thanked the group and Edna for the great food and fruit basket.
    3. Historian: Magda: No new report. Members who had a birthday in the past 2 months did not come to the meeting, hence, no birthday pictures. Magda will resume her previous practice of calling members with upcoming birthdays to remind them to attend the group.
    4. Philanthropy: Mike T.: 14# of food and $51.00 went to the food bank.
    5. Busybody: JoAnn: Please keep emergency information up to date by notifying JoAnn of any changes or additions.
  7. Activities: Joyce: a.) The armada for the SCRCR anniversary celebration will only cost us $30.00. Joyce needs a count of who will be attending so that the food order will be correct. A letter was sent to the HOA Board and management team inviting them to attend but this never made it to the agenda at the last business meeting. Edna requested that it be noted in the minutes that the invitation was sent. b.) If members who have signed up for the White Stallion Ranch dinner cannot attend, please notify June S. as there is a waiting list of those who would like to attend but the number is limited. c.) Thunder Canyon Brewery tour is postponed.
  8. Group Concerns/Good of the Group): a.) $200.00 was collected for Alice B. and a check will be presented to her family at Friday’s memorial service. b.)Patty H. commented on the great time that was had by all at the California Pizza Kitchen. The food was good and the wait staff terrific – highly recommended.
  9. Thought of the Day: Sandy P. left us with a couple of interesting "thoughts of the day".
  10. Adjournment: Dorothy: The meeting was adjourned at 9:55 AM.
