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

$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 Send E-mail to Web Master |
