Attendees: Roland George, Fran Plodkowski, Irene Daley, Lynda Menton, Denis Menton, Cindy Slate, Paula Benham, Sandy Almassy, Janet Steinberg, Sara Czarecki, Diane Tolley, Veronica O’Neil, Betty Conable, Jesse Smith, Maribeth Thomas, Howard Helms

The meeting was called to order by the President, Denis Menton at 7:35PM.

Howard read the minutes, which were approved.

President’s Report

Since the parade has become almost too popular, Denis Menton probably will not respond to Morris Magazine’s request for information about the parade.

Treasurer's Report

Roland George’s report, which was read and approved, is attached.  On June 9, our current assets were $58,094.61.

Building & Grounds

Jesse Smith’s report is attached.  The new air conditioning units were demonstrated.  They are effective without causing undue noise.

Since there will be no meeting in July, a motion was carried that Jesse Smith will be authorized to decide whether to replace the floor or just refinish it.  This work will be done in August.

President's Report

The Morris County Heritage Commission’s sign near the driveway telling about the historic significance of Brookside has been erected.

Rentals

Betty Conable said that we are having a problem with some out-of-town organizations leaving the club a mess. Their cleaning allowance will not be returned to them. There was discussion about raising the fee for the aerobic people.  At least one renter (for a Sweet 16 party) probably will not be permitted to rent again.   Jesse Smith will revise the rules spelled out in the contract and will send them to Betty and to Howard (for the website).  This will include stating that renters should erect sawhorses and a sign if parking needs to be regulated.

Social and Fund Raising

The Shakespeare performance was a great success.

Buzz O’Neill has been proposed to organize an Oktoberfest. 

4^th of July

Veronica O'Neil said that Connie Barties (spelling?) has agreed to be the Parade Chair. 

To shorten the parade, the number of fire trucks and the length of the speeches will be reduced.

Next Meeting

It will be held at 7:30 PM on Monday, August 14, 2000.

 

This meeting was adjourned at 9 PM.

 

Respectfully Submitted,

Howard Helms
