The Executive Board members visited the new residents at 15 houses and invited them to the Coffee Hour on January 11th. They were given a packet of information about the activities. Eight of the new residents did attend the Coffee Hour and introduced themselves. This Coffee Hour replaced the Welcome Reception, this year. Many of the Activity leaders spoke about their group and updated us on their plans for this year. Anne said it went very well and thanks everyone who spoke. Meet the Candidates will be January 25th at 10 a.m. at the Carport. Christmas Eve Sing-Along was well attended and everyone enjoyed it. There will be a Musical Sing-Along Soiree’ on January 21st at 3-5 p.m. at the Carport.
Vice President’s report-Shana Simison-The Dances that were scheduled for March 6 and 19 have been cancelled. She reminded everyone about the guidelines to follow when conducting any activities; no more than 10 people indoors and 50 people outdoors, stay at least 6 ft. apart and wear a mask.
Old Business
Pool Sign Up Sheet-No one has signed up to volunteer to cover pool. If no one agrees to cover the pool at night, the pool will be covered at 4 p.m.
Electronic Bulletin Board-The Activities Committee approved to pay for half of the Electronic Bulletin Board. However, due to the changes in the Board of Directors, nothing has been done about getting the new board so it is still pending.
Memorial Service-will be March 21st. Anne requested the names of anyone who has passed away since the last Memorial Service to be sent to any of the Executive Board members.
New Business
Exercise Class-Barbara Giacchetti-the class is being held at the Shuffleboard Courts on M-W-F at 8:30 because more than 10 people are attending.
Musical Sing-Along Soiree’-Thursday, January 21st at 3-5 p.m. at the Carport
Activities Committee meetings- at the next meeting on February 8th, a Nominating Committee will be appointed to find nominees to run for Vice President and Treasurer which are up for election this year. The Nominating Committee will present those nominees at the following meeting on March 8th. Shana has agreed to continue as Vice President and Wendy has agreed to continue as Treasurer for another term. Therefore, if there are no new nominees presented at the March 8th meeting, it will not be necessary to conduct a meeting on March 22nd for the election. In that case, there will not be a March 22nd meeting.
