The meeting was called to order by the President, Denis Menton at 7:30PM.

Howard Helms read the minutes, which were approved with the correction that Jim O'Neill has been proposed to organize an Oktoberfest.  Also, Connie Bardes was the 4^th of July Parade Chair.

 

Treasurer’s Report:  Roland George stated that income was $5,424.39, expenses $14,228.77, for a net loss of $8,804.38.  Our assets as of 8/12/00 are $12,943.67 and a C.D. for $36,346.56, for a total of $49,290.23.  This report does not include 4^th of July results.  Details of income and expenses may be seen in the journals which Roland brings to each meeting.

 

We would have $2000 more if we were not having a problem with our tenant in the house. 

 

Rentals: Betty says that there have been many calls for reservations.  Sept. through December are full (Fris.,  Sats., and Suns. are taken during those months).  Aerobics are Monday and Thursday.  Betty raised their rates to $25.  Six weddings have reserved the Club for year 2001.

 

A ballroom dance program will start this fall and will last through December.  This will last one hour initially.

 

The rug people have asked for another booking this year.

 

Building and Grounds:  Diane Tolley will look into buying replacements for our folding chairs.  The goal is to find more comfortable and sturdy chairs that are small enough to be stacked on rollable racks in the closet.

 

The last two weeks are open in August for refinishing the floor.  The cost of replacing the floor is about $20,000.  Jesse Smith is looking into getting the floor refinished without replacing it this year. 

 

Social & Fundraising:  Lynda Menton said that the 4th of July Parade went well.  Jim O'Neill was thanked for organizing the Vets. 

 

Joy Barrett has not yet closed the books for the 4^th of July because not all of the bills have come in yet.

 

It is too late to organize an Oktoberfest.

 

Someone needs to volunteer to organize the New Year’s Eve party. 

 

Fran Plodkowski is organizing a

Community Club Holiday Boutique for all day on November 18.  We need a committee to organize this.  Diane Tolley will organize food sales for it.

 

For the next 4th of July parade, we will have to tap into our treasury.   Diane Tolley will make an 8” by 10” copy of the Vets group pictures for each of the Vets who appeared.

 

Membership:  Sandy Almassy will have Hawk Graphics print sets of postcards, to announce that dues are to be paid, another to announce that "your dues are past due", and yet another that says "Please come to our next meeting."

 

The website and Newsletter will contain a dues reminder for those who haven't paid yet.

 

Sandy will convene a membership subcommittee meeting.  Joy Barrett agreed to attend.

 

Next Meeting:  It will be held at the Community Club on 7:30 PM on Monday, August 14, 2000.

 

This meeting was adjourned at 9 PM.

 

Respectfully Submitted,

Howard Helms
