The Commentator
Sandy has submitted the her article. The Board gave her
kudos for her interesting and creative approach to her
articles.
Web Site
The new Webmaster will need to update the entire web site
and keep it current.
Old Business
The “Mash” party will begin at 6:00PM. The members response
has been somewhat weak, perhaps because of the “Mash attire”
requirement and the Mash-like menu. The Board agreed to
change the menu to more non-military foods and to not
require Mash-like dress, but to let members wear tropical
shirts/blouses.
New Business
We hope to have Vice Mayor Harry Goldberg, as a guest
speaker.
Mary Mazur reminded the Board of the Team Punta Gorda
annual meeting 11/10/2009 at the Events Center and asked
that we spread the word. A large group is expected.
For the XMAS Party on 12/14/2009, we will try to make up as
many tables as we can, consisting of four Floridians and
four Newcomers. Cocktails will start @6:00P.M. The caterer
and menu will be the same as last year. They will provide
table service and clean up. The entertainment will be
provided by the Blue Bayou Band. The cost will be $30.00 per
person, with members able to pay at Monday’s General
Meeting.
For the January, 2010 Welcome meeting in January, besides
wine and hors d’oeuvers, a game is planned that will get
members moving around to different tables..
Mary will write a message regarding Membership renewal, to
be included in the XMAS Party Invitation.
The Floridians will replace the Marines in running the toy
drive “For the Love of Kids Foundation.
Despite the dwindling membership in the Newcomers, the Board
agreed that while we can include them in certain events,
they need to continue to abide with their club’s normal
operations/functions.
The meeting was adjourned at 10:50.
Respectfully submitted
Susan(Sue) MacKay, Secretary
