Dec 7, 2014 - ODC Christmas Party

This year's Christmas Party is hosted by the Freed's and Welfords' at the Welford residence.  It will start at 2:00 p.m.  Please bring an unwrapped gift for the Toy's for Tots.  A suggestion was made to bring something for a teenager such as hair dryer, curling iron, etc., as they seem to run out of gifts for this age group.  Club will provide the meat and a non-alcoholic punch and paper goods.  Sandy will assign other food to club members.

Meeting Minutes – December 7, 2014
The meeting was called to order by President Sandy Freed at the Old Dominion Cardinal annual Christmas party held at the Welford home. Welcome to all in attendance.

New Business

State Committee meeting was held on December 6, 2014 at Misty Mountain Campground.
Chapter reports and Rosters are due before December 29th, in order to get the information to national.
Samborees for 2015 will be:
Spring Samboree at Beth Page – May 15-17
Fall Samboree at Rockahock – Sept 25-27.

Some changes happening at Beth Page might cause us to look for another site for the spring samboree.  State has not signed a contract as of yet, but at this time, it is too late to look for another place for May, 2015.  Some items changing:
Beth Page wants to charge clubs $100 if they sell food during the flea market.  There will be an extra charge for extra vehicles stored on other sites (this will mostly affect vendors).  Beth Page wants to charge RV dealers to have rigs on site to show.
State is in talks with Trav-L-Park in Virginia Beach for future years.  Also talking to the State event park.
For the spring samboree, Sandy signed the club up for Saturday evening refreshment service.
We decided to hold the Motorcycle ride at the Fall Samboree.  We will discuss selling food or raffle at the flea market at the April campout.
 
The new state director would like to attend chapters campouts.  We will need to invite them.  The Mid Atlantic Samboree is in June at Harrington, Delaware.  Virginia Good Sam is not supporting the samboree, but encourages the members to attend.
The winter luncheon will be held in February.  Larry Welford will organize.
 
A motion was made to donate $150 to both the EOD Warrior foundation and the Thurman Brisben Center. The motion was approved.
2015 camping schedule: A list was circulated to sign up for hosting duties at the monthly campouts.  Norah will send out the final list.
After the installation of officers, the meeting was adjourned.
Merry Christmas to all and safe travels until we meet again.
Respectfully,
 
Rebecca Messerle
