Reports from Committees

Welcome Back Party

AED – new Volunteers for Training

Jim Marusen is having a training session in January.  He is looking for 4 to 5 people for training in the AED.  If you are interested or know of someone who is interested in the training session,  contact Jim Marusen.

Coffee and Donuts

Shirley Smith served 42 people.  Red Hatters served and were responsible for the breakfast.  $69.67 was taken in.  The final profit is not known at this point and will be announced in the future.

 

Bingo Board - Disposal

Harley was called and asked if he was going to help in the disposal of the old Bingo Board.  He stated that he never said he would help with the disposal.   He suggested we donate the old board to a nursing home or church.  Al St. John said Freddie might be able to dispose of it by giving it to his church. Ed DeCrosta suggested that when the board is removed, Harley should be present to make sure correct items are given away.

 

Old Business

Poker Tables

Ernie Paoletti presented information about the condition of the old poker tables.  He then asked for the purchase of 2 new poker tables.  The table comes in a variety of price ranges.  He located a folding poker table on the Internet for $359.00 each. This table meets all the needs of the poker group.  The activities committee can recommend approval, but the board has the final approval for the tables.  Ernie moved that we purchase two new tables at $359.00 each to be purchased for the poker group.  Louise Cannizzaro seconded the motion.  Motion passed, with final approval from the Board of Governors.

 

Activities Meeting Time

Changing the meeting time and date was brough up for discussion. Friday morning was suggested because there are no other activities schedule for Friday mornings.  Wednesdays were bad for some members because they volunteer for different organizations.  Those member stated they could skip their volunteer duties if there was a meeting scheduled, other members of the activities committee felt they shouldn’t have to give up their volunteer duties. After the discussion, the next meeting will be on the 2 nd Friday in January @ 9:30 am.  The committee agreed to try Fridays and see how things went.  

 

Sign-out Sheet for Borrowed Items

Betty Brice recommended that we put sign-up sheets in club room and kitchen. If someone or group is looking for an item to use in the clubhouse and it’s not there, we know where it is and when it will be returned. It was suggested that an announcement be placed on channel 95 to let know people know about the sign out sheets.  

There is shortage of dishtowels in the kitchen for building activities held in the clubhouse.  It was suggested that groups bring their own towels to use for events since we are down to only a few.

 

Notices

Please use 1/2 sheets of paper if possible for all board notices.  This will save space and allow for more notices. Westchester has put up a new board and turned the glass case so the door opens sideways.  Holly O’Connor invited people to stop by and look at their arrangement, in case other buildings would like to do the same.

 

Bocce Ball

Question was raised, where are the bocce balls?  They are located in box located next to the bocce ball court. The box is locked with a key lock.  It was suggested that a new combination locked be placed on the box, along with a new lock on the tennis courts with the same combination.  Building reps should know the combination and can give it out to residents.   Recommended to put the location on channel 95 so people who would like to play know where to go to get the bocce balls.

 

 

New Business

 

Grill Cleaning Letter

A letter, sent via e-mail, was received from John Wasum regarding the condition of the community grill.  Summary of letter:  Grill needed to be cleaned more often, at least once a month.  Also grill could be moved to new location by the ice machine.  The storage shed could be used for other items.  Holly recommended that the shed area be sprayed for insects.  Ed DeCrosta reminded the members that the insect problem (ants) could follow the grill to the pool area.  Members felt that the grill should remain in its present location. John’s letter will be forwarded to Ed Davis.  

 

Golf Cart for Pro

Phyllis Simmerman feels that we need a golf cart for the Pro in case someone is injured on the golf course.  It was stated this is not an activities committee responsibility, but concerns will be passed on to Dennis.  Is this an activities responsibility, or the board?  Phyllis stated she would check prices for used golf carts and pass this on to Dennis.  

 

Jan Booker

On the 30 th of March there will be a skit put on by residents of Golfview.  Marge Gotro and Jan Booker will be in charge. Other talented people are wanted to make this into a real talent show.  Sign-up if interested.  It’s called Remember When .  More information to follow.
