SECRETARY REPORT AND MINUTES:
No minutes of the June BOD meeting were presented.
TREASURER’S REPORT: John
Miller reported a balance of $3084.91.
MEMBERSHIP: Mark
McGinnis has again updated the membership list which will
continue to appear on the website as well as being sent to
all BOD members directly. Brenda will contact newcomers
membership chair to see if they will provide a list of
possible “graduates” who we can invite to our fall meetings.
GENERAL MEETINGS:
The July 9 meeting will be a club cookout with the club
buying meats, buns, cheese, condiments, onions, tomatoes,
etc. Paper goods and plastic flatware will also be provided.
Members attending will be asked to bring a dish to share
determined by the first letter of their last names as well
as their preferred beverages. Bob and Mark will go to Sam’s
to buy the needed items. Bob will send out an e-mail to
inform the membership. The BOD decided the tables will not
need tablecloths. Each should seat 8 – 10 people so we
should have eight for people and two for food. There are
also three round tables which each seat eight people. Groups
using the grills are asked to make sure there is always an
extra full cylinder available.
There will not be a General Meeting in
August. Ideas for September include contacting Richard Polk
to speak about the History Park. October will be the second
annual Taste of Floridians.
December 10 meeting will be the joint
Holiday Party with the Newcomers Club.
Meet and Greet: The July
Meet & Greet has been cancelled but on August 1 Floridians
will join the Newcomers again at the Captain’s Table (a day
earlier than our usual time). Appetizers are provided.
ACTIVITIES:
Movie Time: Brenda and Mark will
arrange the movie and restaurant for July but will be gone
August, September, and part of October so someone else will
have to coordinate that. Brenda will contact Joanne Dixon to
see if she is willing to handle those months.
Out and About: Future
activities include Punta Gorda Garden Club’s Holiday Days
Home Tour on November 30, Venice Christmas Stroll on
December 6, and the Edison Home Christmas Tour during last
week of December.
Sports and Games: Because of
Marilyn’s absence there was no report for July or August.
Eat Drink and Be Merry: Bonnie
reported that she, Peggy, and Cynthia Cowdrey have decided
to make all of the remaining Fourth Friday events Food &
Friends. Having Food & Friends alternate with Eight for
Dinner has been confusing to a number of members and hosts.
When the 2008 BOD takes office, they can decide which way to
continue this popular evening event. Bonnie will prepare a
message for Bob to send out explaining the decision and
giving the dates for the rest of the year. She also reported
that the July 27 Food & Friends needs a host home. If one is
not found, that night will have to be cancelled.
Ladies Lunch Bunch will be July 11
with Debby Huddleston hostessing. In August those attending
will go out to a local restaurant instead of meeting at
someone’s home.
OLD BUSINESS: Membership
Brochure: Bob asked Brenda and Bonnie to continue to
coordinate the planning of a brochure to be ready by the
PGICA General Membership meeting in November. Brenda offered
to call Lorraine Geiser to see if she is willing to help.
The next board meeting will
tentatively be held on August 1 at 1:00 PM.
The Meeting was adjourned at 2:10 PM.
Respectfully submitted:
Bonnie Verminski (Acting Secretary)
