COMMISSION ACTION: ATTACHMENT #1 WlNTER SPRINGS SENIOR CENTER General Membership Meeting October 13,2004 The meeting was called to order by President John Ferring at 11 :02 a.m. A prayer was given for all ill or absent members and for our Armed Forces. This was followed by the Pledge of Allegiance. The President introduced the attending Board of Members. The Secretary's report for the April 12 General Membership meeting, recorded by an acting secretary, was read by an acting secretary and approved. A letter from the Missing Children's Center was read that stated another child had been found and thanking us for our donations toward this outcome. The Treasurer's report was given, with a current balance of $21,469.22. This includes monies from two CDs, our money market and the checking account. The Treasurer also announced that we had purchased a new television set for the lounge and made donations to the Missing Children's Center and Meals on Wheels. She announced that the Board desired to make contributions to local charities and the Board was open to suggestions from its members. The President had a number of items to bring to the attention of our members: 1. Phil Kulbes had asked about the "Are you OK" program by the Winter Springs Police Department. They still have such a program and all one needs to do is call the police and they will come out and discuss this program with you and set up a time for each call. 2. The Police Department will also check on your homes when you are absent for a period of time. Once again, all you need to do it call them. 3. Weare very proud of our Center's Director, Susie, as she attended a meeting with the Lynx people and was able to negotiate a contract for another year at the current price. This is for a bus to pick up seniors living in Winter Springs and bringing them to the Senior Center; 4. We have Entertainment Books for sale for only $20 - this will raise money for our Center as we make $4.00 on each sale. All of the rest of the books were quickly sold. Thanks for your response. 5. A new sound system has been installed and we once again thank the City of Winter Springs and Susie for this needed addition. 6. The Thanksgiving Dinner will be held on November 28 at 1 :00 p.m. The cost will be $4.00 for members and $6.50 for non-members. This not only includes a delicious catered meal but entertainment. 7. We really need someone to fill the position of secretary as the current treasurer is acting as secretary until this position is filled. Annette Boyd volunteered for this position. We thank her for her willingness to serve. 8. Polly has resigned from the Board and was our Sunshine Committee chairman. Jean Roberts volunteered to fill this position. The Board thanks her for her willingness to serve. The President asked for comments from the members. One asked about a needed expansion of our current building. Susie informed us she was waiting to here from an architect. The question was raised about repairing the Bingo Board. There appears to be only one man in the area who can do this and he states he is really busy and it may be some time before this can be repaired. We just cross our fingers and hope this just not break down totally as a replacement will cost us in the neighborhood of$15,000. Susie announced that there was a gentleman who had video operas and would be willing to come in and show them it there was an interest. Anyone interested should speak with Susie. There being no other business the meeting was adjourned. A delicious catered meal of roast beef and all the trimmings was served to approximately 100 people. Great attendance. Resvectfully submitted, "'- ~dJ2 .~- '- ~~ / ISLA~INl~ Acting Secretary FROM YOUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS: What a wonderful turnout we had for the General Assembly meeting October 13. We served over 100 delicious roast beef dinners. We acknowledged the wonderful job Susie has been doing, especially her ability to negotiate a new contract for the senior bus with no increase in cost. Also, the addition of a new sound system. President John Ferring had checked with the Winter Springs Police Department on the "Are you OK?" program. This is still in effect, although only 21 seniors are currently enrolled. Just call the Police Department and they will set up the time for the daily call to check on whether you are ok. The Police Department also checks on your house when you are gone for any period of time. Once again, simply call them. Annette Boyd has volunteered to fill the position of Secretary on the Board of Directors. A most welcome addition. Jean Roberts volunteered to be our Sunshine person and will be working with Susie to ensure that we send out cards of condolence and get well. Thanks to both of these volunteers. The Thanksgiving dinner will be November 28 at 1 :00 p.m. The cost is $4.00 for members and $6.50 for non-members. This will cover the dinner and entertainment. Let Susie know if you plan to attend and be sure to pay her prior to November 26.
