GUESTS
None present, but President JoAnn told us that she and the
Membership Committee are working on some good ideas for club building.
PROGRAM:
Due to scheduling conflicts with other invited guests, Lori Hopp introduced our very own District Governor, Doug Foss. Doug brought a new AmTryke promotional video to show that National had produced. It was EXCELLENT! It was also suggested that we show the video continuously at the Ice Cream booth during the State Fair this year.
Club Announcements
Membership Committee: The Membership Committee will be meeting this Friday at 6:15 AM.
Second Readings: A second reading of recommendations from the Community Service committee and approved by the board were an AmTryke to Grace Villa. Grace is three years old and has Pulmonic Stenososis and Enchalocele. She is receiving physical therapy from EEC. Also, an additional $57 for Grace for orthotic shoes. $500.00 to Joshua Glavin for Hyperbolic oxygen therapy and vasodilatation. The cost is $125 per treatment with a goal of 80 treatments. Joshua is 12 years old and has a brain injury. He uses a power wheelchair and communication device. $750.00 to HHS Salt Hawks Special Olympics. All items were individually voted upon and passed unanimously.
Installation Banquet: Our Installation Banquet was a great event this year for those 50+ members who attended. The drinks were free, the food was good and the entertainment was very entertaining. Special thanks to the social committee for a fun evening.
Farewell: On June 26th from 2:30 5:00 PM there will be a farewell party for Majors John and Judith McCarty with our local Salvation Army who are transferring to Kansas City.
Committee Listings: Committee listings were handed out. Please verify which committee(s) you are on, attend the committee meetings and do your part to make your club year great.
AMTRYKE FOR NATIONAL CONVENTION: A special vote was held to suspend the rules so that approval could be made to award an AmTryke at the National Convention from our club next month in High Point, N.C. Both passed unanimously.
CALENDAR: The Town Club will be closed a month earlier this year on July 1st and 8th for their annual vacation time. We will be meeting off-site for our golf tournament as one of these meetings. More information to follow soon.
FINES
Sergeant at Arms Tom Hymer
with help from Deputy Dawg, Scott Potucek
collected this weeks fines.
John Knipp paid a suck-up tax for serving coffee to Sgt. Tom but not offering to fill the other members cups at the table. Lori Hopp was fined for arriving late, making her comments and leaving early at a recent legislative forum (just like a woman). Jack Mace paid for displaying a very nice self portrait at the recent Art Fair, unfortunately he had neglected to include his AMBUCS pin in the painting. Doug Foss fined for not knowing that recycling services were available at the Highlands, Jim Kicklighter paid his fine since he uses their recycled cardboard to make salt containers. Ward Davis paid for last weeks newsletter carry-over fine and JoAnn Williams paid for not having the publicity committee chairperson position filled. Eric Steinle paid for complaining Toms portion of the meeting was boring. Duke Wiggins paid but I missed why. Doug Foss paid for an At-a-boy Award for Jeff Brewer who wrote an article that appears on page 12 of the current issue of our National AMBUCS magazine.
Don Grossardt paid to announce that it was his, and Margarets, 50th wedding anniversary (25 years each) Congratulations!
Rick Mitchell claims Tom and Scott are clones since they both use Tabasco. All tennis shoe wearers were fined for not upholding the business image of the club.
TUIT REPORT
Terry Brigman had Chuck Peterson and Eric Steinle fined for not asking about the TUIT this week.
Since Tom almost forgot the TUIT portion of the program guess who Terry decided to give it to. All ALLTEL member/customers should particularly be aware.
