A discussion was had regarding the need for a Club Secretary, a recruitment request will be forthcoming from the office of the President.

A discussion was had regarding the upcoming Thanksgiving Food Drive. Currently the intent is to do both the solicitation of food at local markets and a social media campaign to raise money. Last year we raised a total of $10,866.00 from social media solicitation. The food and money are a restricted donation and must be used to provide food to the needy. To that end the committee is looking now for additional recipients should both solicitations be successful. Some scheduling changes are also forth coming from the committee.

A meeting will be held on 10/21/2021 with Saint Lawrence the Martyr Parish to pay the $500.00 advance and secure the 2/5/2022 date for the Annual Crab Feed. Facility capacity and other questions will then be answered.

Currently there is $1215.00 of dues in arrears, the President’s Office will be taking steps to address that situation.
