Channel 95

            Ed DeCrosta thanked Faye for a job well done in getting Channel 95 up and running in October.  She did an excellent job of getting things going.  Jim Higgins will again be advertising with us at his usual donation.  Committee chairpersons were reminded to notify Ed or Faye of beginning dates for their activity.  They need to know so they can change the information on 95. 

 

            Men's Poker

            Harley reported that the poker group wants to run a Texas Hold-Em Poker Tournament during their regularly scheduled poker nights.  The tournament will be opened to anyone from golfview.  Residents should look to the BB for more rules, regulations, etc. and dates for this tournament.

 

            Tuesday Social

            Doing well, don't need anything from activities committee.  Charge small $.25 fee and that helps cover all their costs.  Everyone enjoys the night and they have great turnouts.

 

            Bingo

            Connie Norstrem reported that Bingo will start on January 5, 2009.  This is her first year and she's still getting settled in, but stated that she has great help and all the people who volunteered last year are still on the list to help this year.  She did say that if anyone would like to join the volunteers, it only means working Bingo one night a month.  If you're interested, please call her.

 

            Pickle Ball

            Dennis Billingham reported that they have around 20 people signed up to play pickle ball.  Pickle ball will be on Monday and Wednesday evenings at 7 pm.  Monday night is instruction night and Wednesday night is game night.  Pickle ball has submitted a letter for changes to the tennis courts to allow for more pickle ball playing to the board. Dennis asked if the activities committee would help pay for the cost of these changes.  Faye stated that we can not commit to anything that has not been approved by the board.  Once the board has approved this request, come back before the activities committee. 

 

6.     Old Business

Welcome Back Party

The party is scheduled for January 4, 2009.  There are only six people on the committee and more are needed.  There was a suggestion that the party be held a little later so people just getting back would have more advance notice.  The problem this year was that it was scheduled after all the dates for Pot Lucks etc where scheduled, thus not leaving any open dates later on.  Hopefully next year this will be taken care of.

 

Rummage Sale (Bocce Ball)

At the end of the last season, there was discussion for a rummage sale, run by the Bocce Ball players to help finance the redoing of the court.  However at this time, the board is going to pay for that project and rummage sale has been put on hold.

 

New Water Fountain for Pool Area

Faye suggested that we purchase a new water fountain for the pool area like the one added to the golf course last year.  A Motion made by Betty Brice and seconded by Irene Rizzo  to purchase a new water fountain for the pool area. The motion passed.  After discussion the committee would like to know the exact price of the water fountain. 

 

Monetary assistance for Clubhouse  Lighting

Faye suggested that we help with the cost of replacing the lights in the ceiling of the clubhouse so we don't have the ones that keep going out and then back on.  This discussion was postponed until more information on cost etc. was obtained from Dennis Catoe.

 

Replacement for Wicker Chairs

Betty Brice and Jan Booker said they would clean and replace seats in the wicker chairs in the clubhouse.  The exact cost was not known and they would report at a later meeting the cost of this project.

 

Newsletter

Ed DeCrosta reminded the committee of Jim Brice's resignation from the Newsletter.  We are still looking for someone to write the articles etc. for the Golfview Newsletter.  Ed DeCrosta said he would still do the layout, but not the writing etc.  If anyone is interested or has any ideas, please let Faye or Ed know.

 

7.     New Business

Thanksgiving Dinner (Mike Manfre)

Mike Manfre will be heading up the Thanksgiving Dinner again this year.  This dinner has been a success since it has been held and the attendance has climbed each year.  The cost will still be $5.00 per person again this year.  There will be flyers posted on the bulletin boards for those interested.  There will be a meeting on Friday, November 21st for those who are going to help. 

 

Dinner:  Thanksgiving Day

Cocktail Hour:  4-5 pm BYOB

Dinner:  5 pm

Change Meeting (Week and Time)

After discussion, the time and day of the week for the Activities Committee Meetings have been changed from Thursdays at 4 pm to a Friday morning at 9 am.

 

Doers List

It was suggested that we have a list of people in the community who are willing to help tranport someone to shopping, doctors appointments etc. because that person is unable to drive themselves.  Look for more information regarding this and look for the sign-up list.
