Minutes of August 16, 2008
The
meeting was called to order by President, Brady Crist.
Announcements:
Through the generosity of Paul Lindenmuth, laminated Fact sheets and Glacial Maps are
available through the store for the price of $3.00 each. Also, Paul donated
several items to be raffled off. Thank you Paul.
The
Secretary’s and Treasurer’s Reports were read and approved.
Old Business:
(1)
Do we want to become an Independent Gold Club or remain with GPAA?
Between
now and the January meeting we need to develop a plan. There needs to be some
discussion with the EGPA and a set of by-laws developed at the next meeting. It
was also determined that we need to set up an Advisory Committee so we can see
what direction the club wants to go. If this is ok with the Club, we will need
an interim slate of officers until we decide.
Over
the Labor Day weekend the EGPA is having an outing in the York area. Wayne
Ordille and Dave Cupina are planning to attend. One of the areas they want to
discuss with EGPA is if people need to be members to be officers.
The
current Club’s officers recommend making the decision slowly and waiting until
January/February 2009 for the final decision.
Anyone
who wishes to remain a member of GPAA may do so. You can be a member of several
organizations if you wish. It may be to your advantage to belong to two or more
affiliations to increase your benefits. Brady does have applications to join
EGPA if anyone is interested. Also we do not want to become adversarial to GPAA.
(2)
Christmas raffles: The prizes we will be giving away this year will be gold
nuggets and gold coins, as well as, other prizes. Also, please remember that you
need to attend a minimum of three meetings to be eligible for the door prize
drawing of the large nugget. The Christmas meeting does not count as one of the
three meetings attended.
The
September meeting will be back at the Montour-Delong Fairgrounds in
Washingtonville and starting in October and for the winter months, the meetings
will be at the Lightstreet United Methodist Church in Lightstreet, Pa.
The
raffles were held and the meeting adjourned for the potluck.
Respectfully
Submitted,
Linda
