HIGHLIGHTS of Executive Committee Meeting
July 20, 2021
In Attendance: Karen Teach, Belinda Rupp, Carolyn & Dale Seburn, Ann Marie Downey, Phyllis McLeaf, Iris Kresge, Sally Mummert, Kathy Garlitz, Nancy Martin, Debbie Banister, Jackie Snapp, Susie Cianelli and Kathleen Pleasant.
· Treasurers – Carolyn shared both reports. Due to a shortage in the scholarship account, our committee decided at our last meeting to give only one scholarship this year. An anonymous donor gave $1000, so it was decided to go ahead and grant two scholarships beginning this September. She also shared that the audit has not yet been conducted but will shortly.
· Awards--Belinda Rupp shared that she has not yet received any nominations for the Outstanding Educator Award and asked for nominations.
· 500 Club--Karen Teach shared that the 500 Club is now meeting at the Redmen in Williamsport.
· Membership --Ann Marie Downey and Iris Kresge shared that we now have a local membership brochure (300 copies). The brochure contains the 3 purposes of our association, mentions some of the “No-Stress” Get Togethers we’ve had, our community outreach involvement, our scholarship practice, and most importantly, information for membership to both local and state organizations.
· Newsletter--Karen Teach will plan on the next newsletter for after Labor Day. It will list dates for our upcoming picnic and October luncheon with the reservation forms. She asked that any addition information be given to her by the last week of August.
· FaceBook--Kathleen Pleasant said that she has added Cathy Grantham as an administrator. Kathleen also stated that she has requested the general membership to begin to save the plastic T-shirt type bags we get from grocery, drug, and convenience stores for an upcoming activity.
· Membership Sub-Committee-- Kathleen informed the group that the sub-committee six met to discuss possible activities for the 2022 year. These will be shared with the general membership at a future date.
· Picnic-- Kathy Garlitz shared that our picnic this year will be held at the South Woods Pavilion (between Emma K. Doub and E.R. Hicks). Food will be catered by Ernst; cost will be $5 for members and $15 for non-members.
· Social-- Susie Cianelli shared that she is working on the December luncheon. As a committee, we decided that we will do two outreach collections (December and May), but the recipients will be discussed at our next meeting in October.
