The meeting was called to order by President
Bob Pickett at
8:30 AM. at the Cracker Barrel Restaurant in Cicero , NY.Those in attendance were: President Bob,
Registrar Shawn Doyle, Genealogist Rich Remling and Secretary Bill
Billingham.
The minutes of the March 6th Executive Committee meeting
were
approved with the correction of the date from the 5th to the
6th.
President Bob reported that the Chapter
meeting in Pompey on
April 17th was well attended and appreciated by all in
attendance.He also reported that the
ESSSAR Meeting last week in Ithaca was harmonious.Frank Decker and Bob Gang accompanied Bob to
that meeting.
Treasurer Tom Henry had a conflict today but
reported very little
activity and no response from the Bank of New York after he, Bob, and I
had
visited their office and signed releases for the account we have with
them.We still have no access to that
account.Registrar Shawn presented the
report that follows these minutes.He
lauded new member Chris Sheldon for all his help with new member
applications
especially since he comes over from Seneca Falls.
Future events included a discussion of the
picnic in Pulaski
on the Fourth of July.It was generally
agreed that Monday, the 5th would be a better date so the
date
of
the
chapter
picnic
was
changed
to Monday, July 5, 2010. Shawn asked
for a
piano player to play patriotic songs and Bill volunteered.
Bob reported that there have been some
procedural changes in
the application for our state fair booth but we have the booth reserved
for
this year.They don’t seem to realize
that no money is exchanged at our booth.He
said
that
the
next
Executive
Committee meeting would be
held here at
the Cracker Barrel Restaurant on Saturday, October 16th
at 8:00
AM.
We need a speaker for the Pearl Harbor Lunch,
Friday,
Dec. 3rd so any suggestions would be appreciated. It was agreed
that the
Saratoga Steak House was a good location.Shawn
reported
that
the
most
valuable
artifacts from Fort
Ontario in
Oswego have been moved downstate to Pembroke State Park.Bob Pickett recommended the book, “The Two
Kendricks”, a story of the French and Indian War.We
decided
that
the
Heritage
Luncheon
will
be
held on Saturday, February 26, 2011 at Drumlins.Bob will ask Stephan Webb, Emeritus Professor
from S.U. to be our speaker.
There will be a short executive committee
meeting at the
picnic to firm up the program for the Pearl Harbor Luncheon.The meeting was adjourned at 9:15 AM.
