Mona: Went to Bennington to pickup her grandson because her granddaughter was born via emergency C-section! Got spent Tuesday night and Wednesday with her grandson.
Discussion about Treasurer and Secretary duties:
Secretary duties will be much more administrative, they will need a volunteer to be the “name” as the secretary. We will be forming an administrative committee where people will be taking on slivers of the work.
This includes working Clubrunner (Marcy volunteered! Yay Marcy!) and a number of other jobs.
Club Service and Membership will need a group of people to work on.
Discussion ensued regarding forming of committees and getting support from our club.
Some discussion of a few things we could do as a club before Mona’s term ends, corn hole tournament idea was presented, couch to 5K app is another idea presented.
Mona would like to get the club together again maybe going to the distillery, marina, whetstone, river garden market and Will offered a work party (trail clearing) and evening at this house.
We’ve talked about not always doing breakfast, but having a meeting somewhere else at a different time (like the Brattleboro Country Club). The Kiwanis shelter was also offered as an option and a few other places.
Closed with the four way test at 8:27
