Committee Reports
Membership - Report from Cathy Deluca received - see above Secretary’s Report. Joe Attaway added that the committee is currently working on the club’s membership renewal letters and they have compiled a survey. The Board is to review the survey before mailing.
Website - Committee (Dan Renfrow, Donna Welty, Joe Attaway and Nydia Thornton) have contacted a few webmasters and the committee’s recommendation is to employ Barbara Laird as our new Webmaster. Her charges would include $400.00 to develop, $100 annual fee to make once a month updates on site and $50.00 annual fee to host website. Therefore, after the initial creation - the total fee for a year will be $150.00 for monthly updates and hosting services
(versus the $44.50 per month currently being paid). Sharon Costello moves to accept Barbara Laird’s proposal stating $400 for creation and $150 annual fee. Nydia Thornton seconds. Vote - all ayes. Donna will notify Barbara Laird.
Neogram - reported
This issue of the Neogram is almost complete. We are aiming to have it submitted to the printer by Tuesday or Wednesday of this week. I never received a transcript of the interview with Palazzo so that will not be running. The issue is full at this time but we will be starting on the next issue right away and we will need content and ads asap for that. If anyone knows anyone that wants an ad or wants to submit content we would be very grateful.
Respectfully submitted,
Heather D. Welty
Health - No report submitted
Dr. Scalia reported that the Health website is up and running and that the committee is seeking volunteers.
Fundraising -
Trophy and pledge forms have been posted on club website. Nydia Thornton has posted on other Neapolitan sites and is accepting trophy pledges. Question has arisen if people can pay by PayPal. Need more information on whether club has an account or not. Questions on the monthly charge of $44.50 paid to Pay Pal. Susan Vann- Spruill offers to call PayPal and seek clarification. Sharon Costello offers to call bank to seek further clarification.
