The
regular business meeting of the Haddonfield 65 Club was held February 11, 2016.
President Wise called the meeting to order at 1:30 PM. There were 19 members
present.
The meeting
started off with the Pledge to the flag, followed by the singing of God Bless
America. Chaplain Dunkle gave the invocation.
Colin
Mac-Allen was introduced as the speaker and he gave a very interesting history
of Tavistock Country Club including its transition from the Haddon Country
Club, the land purchase, the multiple fires and some of the great golfers who
were members.
Following
the speaker the secretary read the minutes from the last Business Meeting held
on January 14, 2016. The minutes were approved as read. He also read the
minutes from the Board of Directors meetings held on February 4, 2016.

club and both were willing to come back. He also introduced Al Schmidt as the
new membership chairman for 2016.
Walt
Baker gave the treasurer’s report and posted it on the bulletin board. Walt
reported that we still have approximately 20 members who have not paid their
2016 dues.
Henry
Leimkuhler requested suggestions for a speaker or entertainment for the Ladies
Spring Luncheon.
Bill
Brown reported that after cancelling the casino trip and wine tasting at
Tomasello winery he had multiple requests for tickets. Of special interest was
a request from the Haddon Heights Italian American club for a block of tickets.
This could be a source of trip-takers for the future. He also announced that
they have monthly dinners for a nominal charge.
Bill
also reported that he has arranged another casino trip for Wednesday, April 6.
The trip will include $10 in slot play, $20 food voucher, a show titled the
Legends of Song. Details will be in an upcoming email and the March newsletter.

competition including the 55 meter run, shot-put and two other events. Champ
won all four events.
