Feb 25th Luncheon Minutes and Special Occasions for Jan - Mar

COPPER HILLS GOOD SAMS
DENNEY'S, SPARKS
FEBRUARY 25, 2012

The meeting was called to order by Vice President Mary N. at 1:55 p.m. and the Pledge of Allegiance was recited.

The minutes of the January 28, 2012 meeting were read and approved.

Susie S. gave the Treasurer's report as follows: Beginning balance as of January 28 was 1,551.28, receipts were 12.00, expenditures zero, leaving an ending balance of 1,563.28. It was moved and seconded to accept the report as read and the motion carried.

There was no correspondence.

OLD BUSINESS:
Susie S. reported on the chapter flags as follows: The cost of the 2x3' flag is 75.00 but there is an additional one-time set-up charge of 50.00. A motion was made and seconded that we pay the additional set-up charge and the motion carried.

Mary had a mock-up of the size of the flag and also brought color samples for the background of the flag. She had red, and two shades of blue. There was some discussion as to what should be put on the flag in addition to the emblem and the established date. A committee of Shirley W. Mary and Cathy C. will meet and
come up with some ideas for the wording on the flag and present to the group at a later date.
Susie indicated the small flags for displaying on your RV will be 12x18” and come with a 3/8” rod for displaying. She did not have the cost for these flags with her but will get the price to Candy and Candy will email to all members to determine interest.
(As an addendum to these minutes: Susie S. emailed Candy and indicated that the small flags with the rod would be $15.00 for orders of 12 to 24, and $12.00 for orders of 25 to 49.)

Mary asked for a show of hands of who may be attending the Samboree in Pahrump in March and five rigs indicated they would be attending.

Mary indicated that Pam and Gary said hello to the group and Pam was wondering if anyone had visited the chapter blog. A few members indicated they have been to the blog and to Pam and Gary's personal blog and said it was very interesting and encouraged others to visit the blogs.

Mary mentioned the charity for this year and reiterated that would be decided at a later time.

NEW BUSINESS:
Mary asked if there was anything to report on the Quincy camp-out in April and Don C. said everything was a go. And if the weather turned bad for camping, we can cancel a few days ahead of time with no problem as there was no deposit required. The date is April 26 through April 29, 2012 and the cost per night for full hook-ups is $30.50 per night. And again we will have the use of the clubhouse.

Randy indicated we need to remind Gary that it is our chapter's turn this year to pay the $60.00 deposit for the October camp-out at the Boy Scouts Camp. Randy will check to see when the deposit is due.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
It is Paul N's birthday today and Mary brought cookies for everyone to share.

Mike S. won the 50/50 drawing of $9.00.

Next meeting will be in Pahrump, if there are enough members present for a meeting.

Adjournment was at 2:25 p.m.

Respectfully submitted,
Candy S.
Recording Secretary

Along with the minutes it was decided that it would be nice to recognize the birthdays and anniversaries of our chapter members.  Since we are already coming up to March I thought we should mention all the dates so far this year and include the people who will be celebrating in March!

January Minutes

COPPER HILLS GOOD SAMS
COMPADRES, DAYTON
JANUARY 28, 2012

The meeting was called to order at 1:00 pm. By President Gary N. who led the Pledge of Allegiance. The minutes of the November 2011 meeting were read and approved.

Suzie S. gave the treasurer's report as follows: Beginning balance as of November 20, 2011 was $1466.06, receipts were$287.00, expenditures of $201.78, leaving an ending balance as of December 29, 2011 of $1551.28. Suzie also mentioned that an audit of the books was performed by Don and Cathy Cook. It was moved and seconded to accept the treasurer's report as read. Motion carried.

CORRESPONDENCE: 

Candy read a letter from Quail Run RV Park located in Quartzsite, Arizona inviting Club Presidents and Rally leaders and their groups to visit their park. Of particular note is dogs over 25 pounds are not allowed in the park.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS: 
Suzie S. indicated she is still working on getting the 2x3 chapter flag made. The company is in the middle of a rather large order and we are apparently on the bottom of the heap. She has sent a graphic of our patch to the company and asked the membership if we wanted anything else on the flag. It was suggested that we put on the established date of April 1986. A motion was made, seconded and passed that we add the established date as discussed.  Mary N. said she will put together a sample of colors to be used for the background on the flag. Kelvin asked about individual small flags for the rigs and Suzie indicated she is also working on that but needs an approximate size for the flag.

Mary also mentioned that everyone seems to be up to date on their vests and name tags.

NEW BUSINESS: 

Gary passed around the membership roster and asked for any additions or corrections. He also suggested that we add our cell phone numbers if you wish to. It was also mentioned that Candy will need the expiration dates for Good Sams cards at the time the group dues are due. When the roster is updated it will be sent to all members.

Gary asked for a show of hands of who might be planning on attending the Samboree in Pahrump on March 15 thru the 18, 2012. There will be possibly four rigs in attendance.

It was suggested we not plan on the theme or a fundraiser for Pahrump and concentrate on a fundraiser for Samboree in Winnemucca. Mary suggested we think of ideas for the the Winnemucca fundraiser and wondered if we might want to use the wheel again.

Pam also asked about if we do have a fundraiser in Winnemucca, where would the money go? What charity? Kelvin suggested forming a committee to make suggestions regarding that.

Pam indicated that our group had agreed to have a blog last year and she is to take care of it but has not done anything with it since last year after she got hurt. She has it going again and asked that we send pictures for use in the blog. Her goal is to have at least one entry to it a month. She will email directions to the blog to everyone. She asked that we make comments on the blog.

Gary asked if we had ideas for a charity this year, i.e, a donation to Ft. Churchill again or something else. He asked  everyone to think about it and report back any ideas at a later date. The group did do two charities last year.

Gary asked about meetings and/or camp-out locations not assigned yet. Suzie P. indicated she would do the Christmas party.

NEXT MEETING: 

1:00 pm. At Denny's in Sparks. Suzie S. will send Candy the flier and Candy will then send it to everyone.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: 

Kendell, Pam, Marianne and Randy all celebrated birthdays in December; and Mary and Jim P. celebrated birthdays in January, and the Shelly's celebrated their anniversary.

Mike D. won $12.00 in the 50/50 drawing.

Meeting adjourned at 1:50 pm.

Respectfully submitted,

Candy Shelly
