MEMBERSHIP MEETING
JUNE 27, 2010
LAKE MIONA REC CENTER

Pledge of Allegiance was called and led by Vice President Bill Villella.

*  Pat then called the membership meeting to order and informed all that the local
paper would no longer advertise the Sunday membership meeting.  This would be
advertised in Thursday’s recreation news.  

*  Pat then advised that the secretary’s note from the last meeting had been posted
on the website and if they were no questions, asked that motion be made that notes
be accepted. Motion was seconded by Wendy  Freyler.

*  Loretta - Treasurer reported that bank balance for the month of June was in the
amount of $4,683.53.

*  Claire, from the Travel Committee took the floor to promote the gambling trip to
Immokalee on Oct 11-12.  Cost is $68 per person based on double occupancy; you
will get $50 back from casino; $50 in food tickets- you travel in a Deluxe bus.  That
sounds like a really good bargain - you can contact Claire at 753-0856.

*  Pat then said that a member had made what she thought to be a very good
suggestion, that in order for Sumter Singles to recognize each other, to have a pin
made (ie. made in the shape of a sailboat ?), this was based on the Baby Boomers’
palm tree logo recognition emblem.

*  Kay McGrath - reminded the hiking club that the name “Hiking” had been
changed as the connotation scared some potential walker.  It is now knows as “The
Soft Walk Club”.

*  Helen Chun -  from the Golf Scramble committee went over the events coming up
in July and reminded the membership that when and if they needed to cancel their
tee times, they must do it directly with her by phone or email.

*  Pat then went on to promote the upcoming Luau on July 18, at Lake Miona Pool
and gave a run down as to what would be happening.  

A small yearly calendar was handed out to members - its wallet size is perfect to
carry around and now no one has any excuse for not knowing dates and upcoming
events.  It covers every month until the next board takes over in April 2011.  A very
good idea.

July birthdays were called out and the membership sang its birthday
greetings.

Motion for membership meeting was then called to a close, motion carried by Lynn
Dickie and seconded by Julie Ayotte.  Meeting adjourned.

New members were introduced by Pat.
Karaoke with Rich Kammarada was the entertainment for the day.

Submitted by Jo Thompson, Sec.


The Karaoke session went well..  especially when “Phyllis” took to the mike.. My

enthusiasm.. What a natural entertainer she was.. For you that left early, you don’t
know what you missed… go girl… hope to hear you again…
