June 1st Meeting Notes

George led the Club in singing the American National Anthem as well as the Canadian one. Everyone welcomed Marion, Hank and Chet back from their surgeries. The happy thoughts ranged from excitement over a long delayed bathroom remodel that is finally occurring, a much needed non-working vacation, mom coming to visit, reconnection with second grade teacher, making connections with Interact members and a neighbor who graciously mowed a lawn in their absence. Jane was happy to have spent time with her grandson who took her out for her birthday.  We thank Jane for spending her birthday with us in the Monday meeting.

Jane presented Chet with a “Service Above Self” pin for stepping in mid -year and doing a great job as Membership Director. She also presented a pin to Alicia as a new member who didn’t waste any time in volunteering to work on projects and fundraisers as well as step into a leadership role as Foundation Director in 2015-16.

Jane asked for a motion to approve an amendment to the by-laws which establishes a reserve account and how it can be used. Gordy moved and Jerry seconded. The revision was approved by the membership. Gordy reported on the progress of the upcoming Copacabana Whidbey dance coming up on June 20. Virginia announced that this year’s installation will be held at Marion Henny’s home located on Bayview Road on Sunday June 28.  Lyn asked if anyone was available on short notice to help with the upcoming Meals on Wheels pancake breakfast fundraiser. Hank talked about a potential Halloween party and asked members if they had an interest in attended either on Friday night or Saturday night.

 

 

Members were asked to donate a few dollars towards the Foundation Account to help replenish our funds. As a means to help with funding that account in the future the membership voted to take $10.00 from the meeting fees twice a year and move it into the account.
