Minutes of Meeting for July 28, 2016
1. Call to Order: Iles W., started this session at 9:30 am with the Pledge of Allegiance and Maureen led us in singing God Bless America. Iles then had some jokes to share and once again, a reminder that the coffee is $2.00/cup with free refills and the pastries or fruit is $1.00.
2. Host/Hostess: Barb L., happy to see everyone and that we had 37 in attendance today. Still pretty good for the middle of summer. Barb also thanked Linda and Bea for all their work in making the outings to the Gaslight Theater and Little Anthony’s Restaurant so enjoyable. Well done ladies!
3. Vice-President: Larry L.: 114 SCRCR members total. Larry was approached by someone from CareMark Health who wanted to give us a presentation on their plan, but the membership voted this down. Instead, Carol A. had a great idea to bring in a broker who handles all different insurances to speak to us as the “re-up” time is approaching. Larry also asked that if we are at an outing of some sort for someone to please take pictures to memorialize it. We’ve not been doing that as of late unfortunately and the pictures are always nice to share.
4. Secretary: Kristi G.: Minutes for July 21, 2016 were approved and accepted.
5. Treasurer: Carol A.: We have $2,362.00 in the bank.
6. Coordinators’ Reports:
a. Sunshine: Sandy P.: No report – everyone is well for the third week in a row!!!! J
b. Historian: Magda: No Magda today but on her behalf Iles reiterated the importance of bringing the pull tabs from cans to Magda for Ronald McDonald House.
c. Philanthropy: Jim A.: Took $80.00 and 10 pounds of food to the Marana Food Bank.
d. Busybody: Elaine H.: Just a reminder to all new folks to get her their emergency contact information and why it’s so important.
e. Activities: Rose M.: reported on the schedule of activities (see below).
7. Group Concerns/Good of the Group: Bill E. brought up the subject of computer scams once again which is always a problem. Bill is a really savvy guy when it comes to computers, and he got into a situation with a hacker, so if it can happen to Bill, it can happen to any one of us, especially those of us (present company included) who aren’t so “tech savvy”. We have to be vigilant and careful with what we open up and do. Also for the good of the group, Rose has found a place that will take old electronic stuff. It’s called Rise Equipment Recycling Center located at 1134 S. Park Av., in Tucson. They accept donations of working and non-working televisions, computers, computer peripherals, landline telephone systems, as well as other electronic equipment. If you are taking in any computer, please take out your hard drive first and destroy it. Do not take your hard drive in. Hours are Mon. thru Fri. 9 AM to 6 PM and Sat. 9 AM to 2 PM. This is a freebie – no charge!
Just a reminder to bring your donations of fruit or food stuffs to next Thursdays meeting for our wonderful Marana Police Department. We ask for fresh fruit, cookies, cakes, health/power bars, things the Officers can take with them in the car and eat easily. This is the only day we will be collecting as we will package it up and take it right to the two locations after the meeting.
8. Thought of the Day: Sandy P. closed the meeting with a great thought along with a great ending joke as always.
9. Adjournment: Iles W.: The meeting was adjourned at10:21 AM.
