THE VILLAGES RV CLUB MEETING DATE: June 11, 2010

 

In the absence of President, Mark Hulbert, Vice-president Len Holdsworth presided at the meeting, which was called to order at 10:05 A.M. with a moment of silence and prayer for those in harm’s way protecting our freedoms and the Pledge of Allegiance. 

Abbreviated minutes from the May 14th meeting were read and approved.

Teasurer’s Report:  The financial report was presented by Walt McKechnie and approved as follows:

Beginning Balance            $3,781.22

Income                              571.00

Expenditures                      233.95            

Ending Balance            $4,118.27

Wagon Master’s Report:   Fred spoke briefly about the trip to West VA.  He also reminded members that he still has two scooters available for loan to anyone who may have difficulty walking or getting around.   Fred reiterated the intent of the stipend available to Wagon Masters being for expenses associated with putting together a rally, such as printing, packages, etc. and not for food or alcohol.  Wagon Masters came forward to present details about their upcoming trips to:  Everglades City, Albuquerque, Lion Country, & Mediterranean Cruises.

Picnic:  Len stated the date of the picnic has been changed from September to Saturday, October 23rd at Mulberry Recreation Center and is for members only.  If all of the tickets are not sold as we approach the date of the picnic, we would open it up to others.  The picnic will be catered by Oak Wood Smokehouse & Grille.  The menu will consist of barbeque pork and chicken, along with two sides, & tea.  There are a limited number of tickets available for $8 per person.  The actual cost is much greater than that, however, the club will pick up the remainder of the tab with funds in the treasury, which is funded primarily by our 50/50 and membership dues of $5 per couple per year.  You will need to bring your own beverage and chairs.  Ice will be available and table settings will be provided by Oak Wood.  Tickets are being sold in the back by Carol McKechnie and Pat Ozimek.

Christmas Party:  Christie King indicated we only have three months to sell tickets for the Christmas Party, which will be held on Friday, December 3rd at the Savannah Center.  The price will be the same as last year ($27.50), which includes a carving station and very good music. There will be round tables that seat eight so if you want to set up your own table of those you wish to sit with, come prepared at the September meeting to sign up.  This is the one time of year that we dress up.   

Additional Trips:  Fred solicited members to come forward to lead a trip as we are short with nothing scheduled until the fall.  There are many opportunities available. 

Guest Speaker:  Our scheduled our guest speakers from Sunset Isle RV Resort & Marina in Carabelle, FL were apparently dealing with the Gulf oil spill and unable to be here.  Therefore, in the absence of guest speakers, Len conducted an FYI session where members shared knowledge on the various types of RV’s from Class A’s to pop-up campers, as well as tow cars.  Len also shared information he received regarding a total electric (lithium battery) towable weighing 1750 lbs, is pre-wired, has a tow bar, comes in two models of a 60 or 100 mile range.  Pictures and information can be found at www.ecosmotors.com.  Len stressed that the RV Club does not promote this vehicle and is making the information known for information only.

Sunshine:  Carol McKechnie sent 3 get well cards last month to Carmen Smith, Bill Procop, and Jane Marie Dorsey.

New Members/Guests:  1 new member was introduced and received free koozies.

Interim Announcement:  Len shared information he received from Maxine Bryant regarding the organization called Cleaning for a Reason.  This group will provide cleaning services once a month for four months while a woman is undergoing chemo treatment.  All they need is a fax from the doctor.

50/50 Drawing:  Three monetary prizes were awarded; 2 for $30 and 1 for $25

Next Meeting:  Our next meeting will be on September 10, 2010. 

Motion to adjourn:  Just prior to adjournment, Carol McKechnie reported that 34 tickets for the picnic had already been sold.  With no open discussion or questions, the meeting adjourned at 10:45 A.M.

Respectfully submitted,

Barb Hatch
