Jun 22 - 25, 2012 - Gettysburg, PA


MINITUES OF THE MEETING OF THE  OLD DOMINION CARDINALS
GETTYSBURG, PA - JUNE 23, 2012

The meeting was called to order by President Larry Halstead.   Those in attendance were, Welford, Bowen, Zerhusen, Halstead, Simmons, Tolson, Matheny, Burdette, Solden/Wilson and Freed.  Mem Halstead volunteered to take minutes due to the absence of our Secretary. President Halstead welcomed everyone especially our guests, Natalie and Renee, the Bowens granddaughters, and Madie, the Halsteads granddaughter.

A BIG thank you was given to Phyllis and Craig, Sandy and Bill, and Carol and Larry for the wonderful job they were doing with the food for the weekend.  This is the first time we have done an extended campout of more than 2 nights. It was well received and we will recommend doing it again. Also just for information it was a motorcycle weekend and the ones who have bikes did several rides and those who did not enjoyed the Battlefield and Museums.  We all met up on Sunday for a great lunch at a local restaurant after the Bikers did a tour of the Battlefield with a tour guide.   There were also several side trips to Hershey PA, (the sweetest place on earth), the Snyder pretzel factory and the Harley Davidson factory in York. 

Larry Welford made a motion with a second from Wayne Simmons to approve the minutes and the treasurer’s report for the May meeting.
Mem reported that Velda Taylor is now very dependent on others for her care.  Ken has help 3 days a week so that he can go and do the things he needs to do.  Please continue to pray for them.

OLD BUSINESS:

The books were audited by Carol Welford and Patricia Winder in May and everything was approved.

Samboree Year Bars are being mailed out to the Chapter Presidents and when Larry gets them he will deliver them to those that attended.
