Minutes of Meeting for October 27, 2016
1. Call to Order: Iles W., began the meeting at 9:30 am with the Pledge of Allegiance to Jorge’s American flag pin because The Station put the real flag up somewhere due to Halloween decorations. We followed that by us all singing God Bless America and Iles telling a couple of great jokes. Iles also brought up the fact that the new board should review the by-laws and rules as their first order of business as well as to discuss “absentee ballots”.
Being as we had enough folks present, Barb L., brought up the fact that we should probably vote on the new board right then and there. A motion was made and passed and we did jusr that. Your new board for next year will be: (Drum roll please) Bill E., President, Debi S., Vice President, Walt R., Treasurer and Kristi G., Secretary. Barb L and Susan D. will stay on as our Hostess/Greeters (These two really know how to make a person feel welcome). Sunshine will be split between Dorie Z. and Sandy P. Magda will stay on as our Historian and Barb J. will do the Busybody function. Philanthropy will be split between Jim A., and John Z. And last, but not least, Pam M., has stepped up to take over Activities from Rose M. Pam and Bill are relatively new members along with their spouses Dan and Elizabeth and that’s what we love to see is new members getting involved. Thank you ALL!!!!
