SECRETARY’S REPORT
The Minutes from November were
unanimously accepted.
TREASURER’S REPORT
Treasurer John Miller reported that our
current bank balance is $4706.82 but the expenses of the
Holiday Party will greatly diminish that amount. It appears
that we will end the club year with about the same amount
that we had to start it, approximately $1000.
CURRENT BUSINESS
It was noted by President Dorman that
there have been communication problems with email notices
bouncing back between Embarq-Hot Mail-MSM.
MEMBERSHIP
Ron Robinson noted that membership dues
are due and are starting to come in. He has asked members to
provide their email address and any out of town addresses
for the summer months.
HOLIDAY PARTY
The next order of business was the
Holiday Party planned for Dec. 10. Sixty-two Newcomers and
sixty-four Floridians have paid. Treasurers from both clubs
will check in the participants and name cards will be given
to act as place cards. Tables will be called at random to
approach the buffet table. Each treasurer will write checks
to cover one half of clean up, entertainment and number of
members cost to caterer. Set up and decorations for the
party will be on Dec. 9 at 3:00 at the Civic Center.
CANAL LIGHTING CONTEST
More than fifty homes have signed up
for the Canal Lighting Contest. Judges will be cruising on
Dec. 11, 12, 13 and 14. They will meet on Dec. 15 to tally
the vote and winners will be announced the week of Dec. 16.
Winning homes will be given a sign to put up in their yard.
Winners will be treated to cruise in Jan. Floridians will
provide the refreshments.
OUTREACH
Board members were asked to send
articles for the Commentator to Lorraine Geiser. They should
mention Commentator in the subject box so that the mail is
not mistakenly deleted.
SUN N FUN &SPORTS
Brenda McGinnis has organized a trip to
the Edison/Ford Estate to see the Christmas Light display on
Dec. 29 at 6:30PM. If we have enough participants we can
qualify for a group rate of $10. Those interested can meet
earlier for dinner at Mimi’s in the Bell Tower Center.
Judy Berger mentioned that the Out and
About Committee has a meeting scheduled for Dec. 14 at 10:00
at the Civic Association to plan activities for 2008. The
January outing will be to Bok Sanctuary in Lake Wales on
Jan. 18. Details will be in the January edition of the
Commentator.
Ron Robinson will continue to plan Dine
Around events. There will be none in Dec.
Mark McGinnis reported that the next
Movietime will be held on Jan. 23.
Meet and Greet will be at Benedetto’s.
EAT DRINK AND BE MERRY
Bonnie Verminsky reported that Lunch
Bunch will be held in the home of Laurel Nelson in December.
Food and Friends will be on Dec. 28 at
the homes of Pat and Gary Teeple, and Laurel and Earl
