News of the Meeting of June 23rd

 
Today we met again via Zoom at 5:30 PM, with Paul hosting. 
 
Seven of our members were able to attend this virtual meeting.  We missed the rest of you (but refrained from gossiping about you) and hope that you can attend next Tuesday's OUTDOOR, IN-PERSON MEETING When?  5:30 PM-7:30 PM  Where?  Al Kopcienski has graciously offered his lawn. (If rain, his barn.)  MASKS WILL BE REQUIRED.  B.Y.O.B.  Finger foods will be served.  Please R.S.V.P. to Paul's upcoming invitation.  It will be really good to actually see you again!
 
Paul reminded us that our Board positions should be voted on by month's end.  President Elect Rob Dooley, who will become Club President in July, nominated the following members to join his Board, and they accepted:  President Elect- Mike Burghardt; Secretary: Sal Filosa; Treasurer: Nancy Uzo; Membership Chair: Tara Scully; and Program Chair: Bob Huttemeyer.  Rebecca Kassay will be invited to become an Executive Board member, as well.  If YOU wish to volunteer for a position, please let Paul or Rob know.  All input is welcome.  Paul and Rob hope that the Board members- new and veteran- will come to their positions/duties expecting to enjoy what they are doing. 
 
Meanwhile, Paul will look up the club's Bylaws and send out copies to our membership.
 
Dennis noted that while the regular summer camping season has been canceled at Camp Pa-Qua-Tuck, the Director is running a Virtual Camp that appears to be quite popular and effective.
 
Cindy, who chairs our RYLA Committee, looks forward to Rebecca's assistance.  Cindy still awaits word on whether or not there will be a summer RYLA camp in New England.  On June 28th, the Scholarship Dinner will be held at Diane Marmann's home.  Check with her for more information.
 
Bob asks for members' help in seeking future speakers. If you know people who would be interested in giving brief presentations on any subject that you think would attract member interest, please let him know a.s.a.p.  
 
Be good and take care!
 
Cheers!

Quote of the Week

"Insanity is hereditary.  You can get it from your children."

                  -Sam Levenson

Thought for the week:
I've got PMS, OCD, and ADD.  I want to cry and look pretty while I kill everyone, but I can't focus on that right now.  I'm cleaning.
