Original release: July 2002
The
meeting was opened by President Tom Mugnano, who presided.
Also in attendance
was Vice President Brent Sehnert. Tom appointed Brian Callahan to take the
minutes for the meeting. About 43 members were present.
New Business -
Membership dropoff was discussed, why people do not renew, how to keep the
membership numbers up and active.
44 memberships were not renewed last year.
Resolved that
President Tom Mugnano will call some of the members and
get
an idea why they decided to not renew, what the club can
do to encourage
people to stay in the club. Also decided to
send out postcards by March 1,
2003 for those that do not
renew for 2003. There were no postcards sent this
year, but there
has been in prior years.
Note: dues are still annual,
and payable first of the year.
There was a discussion among the members,
led by Carl Sehnert,
about the club by-laws, and changing the annual meeting
to
Indianapolis in June. Also about where we were with respect to
the
needed changes and authorization from the complete membership.
David Lester
is working on an update to reflect that the annual
meeting was changed to
Indianapolis, and the elections were to be
in June each year. Brian Callahan
made a resolution that these changes be submitted via the Gatherer to the
membership to be
voted on. Seconded by Larry Freudenthal. The motion was
passed.
The update, when done, will be forwarded to the President and
to
Brent for the Gatherer.
The Treasurer's report was read and
approved. There was unanimous
approval, applause and appreciation of the fine
job that Marilyn Johnston has done as the club treasurer.
Elections -
Brent Sehnert was elected Vice President.
Steve Zehr was
elected Secretary.
Both were unopposed for a two year
term. There was thanks and applause for those willing to be officers and
help the club. Next year in June the President and Treasurer offices will be
open.
Thanks was extended to Brent, Brian, Carl, Mary, Dick, Jimmy,
Steve, Steve, Tom, Brenda, Brad, Bill, Paul, Matt, Marilyn and many, many others
for working on club functions, especially the club website.
Upcoming

A new Membership list will be printed and sent, please

information and send corrections so members can keep in
touch
with each other.
A question was posed: How many people do NOT
have access to a computer with internet. Answer was 3 people. (out of about
43) Jimmy asked that anyone with information or suggestions on glasses,
pictures for the web site send them in to www.pgcaglassclub.com there was a
misprint in the Gatherer, the club URL is NOT pgca.com
The meeting
concluded with show and tell, and door prizes. Many members donated nice
glasses and box sets of glasses. Special thanks to Edith and Ed Kearfott who
donated some Kentucky Derby glasses and souvenirs.
The meeting ended around
9:30.
Respectfully submitted, Brian Callahan
