B. Golf Tournament
Ed Waller gave the financial breakdown of his highly successful Army-Navy Golf Tournament. Bottom line is that he reported a net profit to the Chapter of just under $100.
Old Business:
A. Thank You. Mike Borns thanked Ed Waller for his superb leadership with the annual golf tournament. He also singled out Brett Feinstein for giving up his two seats at the December Event so that two walk-up guests could be accommodated.
B. December Event. The event was very successful, but the Board discussed the hectic events surrounding the late registrants. It was determined that they were primarily Fleet Landing residents and that Brett and Dave Ward handled them superbly. It was decided that the Presidential remarks in the next mailer would contain an emphasis on the importance of the reservation deadline.
C. Website Update. Tom Barry reported that Scott Bushnell had run in to very time consuming problems with the update of the Alumni data fields. Scott is working through them but the update will take far longer than anticipated. Tom also alerted the Board to the fact that Scott had created an Alumni page. Any information to be included on this page should also be submitted to Tom Heilman, the Board’s liaison with Scott for website management.
New Business:
A. New Board of Directors slate. Mike Borns announced that the new Board of Directors would begin their efforts as of January 1, 2003.
B. February Event: The Board decided that the next event would be scheduled at UNF on either February 14th or 21st, dependant upon speaker commitment. Mike Borns will contact USNA concerning feasibility of getting Academic Dean or similar speaker. Bill Farnsworth to contact UNF concerning availability of dates.
C. Gifts. Mike Borns discussed the difficulty he had finding a presentation gift for the speaker at the December Event and proposed that Board procure several and keep them on hand. Tom Barry volunteered to research possible gifts with the USNA outlet websites and report back at the next Board meeting.
D. Head Table Place Holders. Again as a result of difficulties experience, the Board authorized Mike Borns to procure suitable markers to be used at future Chapter Events.
Remarks/Business from the Floor:
A. Tom Barry asked to know how some members had permanent name badges. Mike Devaux and Pete Miller to explore options and report at January Board meeting.
B. Mike Borns announced that this would be Joel Febel’s final Board meeting as he is moving. Fair winds and following seas, Joel. Thank you for many years of hard work on behalf of the Board and the Chapter.
