MONTHLY MEETING

 EZRA S. GRIFFIN CAMP #8

January 13, 1994

 

The meeting was called to order by Sr. Vice Commander Russell P. Jones, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance.

 

Other members in attendance were:

Joe Long Charles Jones Bob Price
Russ W. Jones Bob Yeager Bill Lindberg

 

The minutes from the December meeting were read and approved.

 

FINANCIAL REPORT:

Joe Long read the financial report.  It was regularly moved, seconded and referred to the Audit Committee. 

 

OLD BUSINESS:

Bob Yeager, Joe Long and Phil Clifford saw the two shut-in members.  They spent one half hour with Jim Turnbull and also saw Bill Gilbert.

 

Joe Long sent the card to Art Reeser and received his dues.

 

The 2nd Virginia Regiment will hold its annual dinner on January 22 at 7:15 p.m. at Capogreko's Restaurant in Archibald.  All members are encouraged to attend.  Joe and Mary Jo Long will be attending.

 

Joe Long spoke to George Long of the Lancaster Camp about speakers for upcoming meetings.  He may have an individual to speak about genealogy and Civil War Hospitals.

 

Bob Price looked into advertising in his local newspaper.  This could not be done because they only accept news from the Carbondale area.

 

NEW BUSINESS:

Bob Price will become a member of the Memorial Association.  A nomination was made by Bob Yeager and seconded by Joe Long.  All were in favor.

 

Joe Long brought up the idea of having a 50/50 raffle at the beginning to the future meetings.  The money would be put in a slush fund to be used to help members in need.

 

It was also suggested that at the February meeting we start preparations for Memorial Day.

 

With no further business or discussions, a motion to adjourn was made by Joe Long and seconded by Charles Jones.  All were in favor.

 

Respectfully Submitted,

Robert C. Shaffer

Asst. Secretary
