Attendees: Denis
Menton, , Kathleen Salerno, Howard Helms,
Sandy Almassy, Sara Czarecki, Diane Tolley, Cindy Slate, and Jesse
Smith.
The meeting was
called to order by Denis Menton at 7:30PM.
Buildings & Grounds: Jesse
Smith’s Building & Grounds report is attached. In addition to the improvements cited in the report, Jesse is
working to put fire-detection heads in the attic (they are in the basement
already). Also, Jesse arranged to have
the fire extinguishers checked.
We admired the newly refinished
floor, whose coat of Urethane plus a finish coat highlights the grain. The floor is more level than ever in recent
decades, since a few of its boards were replaced. The floor refinisher thought that the floor would sustain just
one more resanding.
The upper interior walls of the
Club looked sparkling in their new coat of paint.
Denis gave the Twp. Committee a request for
$7,500 for a handicap-access ramp and new door for the south side of the
Club. With this improvement, the Club
will host the Township’s elections, which will be moved from the Fire House.
Social and Fund-Raising: Sara
Czarecki briefly described tentative plans for the next issue of the Newsletter.
Denis said that Buzz Thomas had raised $700 to
$800 by selling Xmas trees on our property.
The True Millennium Party was
very successful. Having it catered was
judged to be better than cooking it ourselves.
In view of this success and of our lack of
other events, it was suggested that we think of holding a party, e.g. to “Ring
in Spring “ on April 21. Cindy said
that he Social and Fund-raising Committee will hold a meeting next week.
Chair Committee: Diane Tolley reported her
research on a replacement for our chairs.
Diane made calls and researched the Web and identified just three
manufacturers of folding chairs.
During the discussion, we identified problems
with the current chairs (i.e. too low and raked back) but also several
advantages (i.e., light and easily stackable).
There was consensus that any candidate should be given a sit test before
purchase.
It was not clear whether new storage racks would
need to be purchased.
Diane also looked for round tables but found
none that could be rolled away and folded up like our rectangular tables.
Diane turned this information over to Denis
for consideration by himself and Lynda Menton.
Membership: Sara reported
that she is still working to obtain suitable stationary from its vendor
(Hawk). After this is settled, she will
try to locate a different vendor for future work.
Since dues are payable on April 1, Sara will
pull together a Newsletter. Persons having
material for the Newsletter are welcome to e-mail full writeups to her.
Website: The website continues to have about 1 hit per day. Howard will send a paragraph advertising the
website to Sara for the Newsletter.
Next Meeting: It will be
held at the Community Club on 7:30 PM on Monday, Feb. 12, 2001.
This meeting was
adjourned at 8:29 PM (a record for brevity).

Submitted,
