The
regular business meeting of the Haddonfield 65 Club was held January 8, 2015. President
Bill Brown called the meeting to order at 1:30 PM. There were 26 members
present.
The
meeting began with a presentation by David Hunter on his new endeavor called
HaddonfieldSOUP. This is a twist on websites in that all members of the
website, whether individuals, businesses, community organizations or the
Borough can post information of their choosing on the site. Business and organization
members pay $25/ month while individuals ay $25/ year. It’s an interesting
concept that only time will tell if successful.
Following
the presentation, Chaplain Lou Dunkle gave the convocation followed by the Pledge
of Allegiance and the singing of god Bless America. The Secretary read the minutes from the last
Business Meeting held on November 13, 2014. The minutes were approved as read.
The Secretary also read the minutes from the last Board of Directors meeting,
held on January 8, 2015.
Walt
Baker gave the treasurer’s report and posted a copy on the bulletin board. Walt
reported that only 48% have paid their dues so far.
President
Brown, as a last desperate act as president, managed to sell the t-shirt that
was a sample.
Bill
noted that Don Beck performs many tasks for the club and recognized his
contribution to the club. Don handles all the get well cards, sympathy cards,
Christmas cards, memorial donations as well as the mailing of the monthly
newsletter.
