Minutes of Meeting of June 21, 2012
1. Call to Order: Jim: The meeting opened at 9:30 AM with the Pledge of Allegiance. Jim related his usual pre-meeting warm-up stories.
2. Host/Hostess: a.) Alice and Dennis introduced Barbara, a visitor who dropped in after the meeting had started. She will probably become a member and told us a little about herself. b.) Alice told us that they had attended a graduation ceremony that was the best they had ever observed.
3. Vice-President: Joan: We have 82 SCRCR members. She related a story titled “Truths for Adults” – very entertaining. Joan will be absent until October – another snow bird?
4. Secretary: Jeanne absent – unwell at the last minute. Lew took over. Only 35 members attended today. Minutes of June-14 were approved and accepted.
5. Treasurer: Walt: The total in the treasury is $1,187.80. SCRCR dues are due!
6. Coordinators’ Reports:
a. Refreshments: Betty: Today: Treats were provided by Eva, Margie, & Lou. Next week: Barbara H. with Dorothy and Iris (whose house is now up for sale).
b. Sunshine: Linda D: a.) Sandy reported that John was in hospital on Tuesday for an angiogram. b.) Joan M. looks well and is doing exercises but her memory fades; her son is looking after sale of her house.
c. Historian: Magda: absent.
d. Philanthropy: Betty: 57# of food went to the Food Bank this week – a good effort.
e. Busybody: JoAnn: No new report.
7. Activities: Joyce G.: Please see the attached agenda for upcoming events (the only changes from the previous agenda are deletions). a.) Joyce absent. Tressie reported that they had visited The Gallery as another potential Christmas party venue. It was considered to be too expensive.
8. Group Concerns/Good of the Group: a.) More information was presented by Walt re the Taste of Texas as a site for the Christmas party on Dec-11. It appears that ordering off the menu (for individual checks) remains the best option. If 40 attendees are present the room may be closed at no extra charge. b.) Alice B. moved and Betty seconded a motion that we book the Taste of Texas for the Christmas party; it passed with no further discussion. The tables will be arranged in a big U shape and there will be room for dancing. Edna brought up the subject of decorations. What type will there be? Does the restaurant supply any? They need to know. Walt will book the same DJ as last year. c.) Bo’s garage sale was successful, netting over $700. d.) Jim reminded us of the HOA meeting tonight at 6:30 in Twin Peaks school and the trash collection meeting which will take place at 3:00 PM in Twin Peaks school on June 23rd. d.) Walt informed us that the Taste of Texas no longer serves their former special $12.99 Prime Rib on Sundays.
9. Adjournment: Jim: The unusually short meeting was adjourned at 10:02 AM.
