Elkhorn Valley Good Sams

November 14,2009

The regular meeting of the Elkhorn Valley Sams was held on Sat. Nov. 14, 2009 at The Old Scribner Hotel, Scribner, Ne., a step back in time, very cozy, and a wonderful meal was enjoyed by all. Jim Cunningham, chaplain, led us in prayer prior to the meal. Following the meal , our meeting was opened by President , Shirley Broekemeir. The Pledge of Allegiance was recited. Roll call was taken with 22 rigs represented. The minutes were read and approved as corrected. The Peterson’s anniversary celebration is Nov. 28, not the 27^th.

Guests present at our meeting were Rick and Mary Coates.

No unfinished business.

Our next meeting will be Dec. 12, 5:30p.m. at the Coffee Pot Restaurant in Fremont.

New Business: Larry Hintz reported that he had spoken with Director Fred Hatch about the policies, if any, for keeping Treasurer’s reports from the past. Fred stated that there is no policy, but recommended we keep at least the past three years. Discussion was held and Mary Bell moved that we keep the past three years Treasurers reports. Moved and seconded, motion carried. All minutes will be kept. Betty Bauer includes the minutes of each meeting in our scrapbook, which is a history of the club from its beginning.

Every December the club has been giving to a charity. After a short discussion it was decided to donate food items to the Fremont Low Income Ministry pantry. Motion made, seconded and carried. Bauers and Lofgrens will be responsible for taking the items to the pantry. We also decided to not have a meeting at our Christmas party.

Janet Emken discussed the possibility of the club making a cookbook with a collection of members favorite recipes. This would be a simple cookbook, not something formally published. This was tabled for further discussion in January.

Mary Bell presented a gift to our outgoing president, Shirley Broekemeir, and thanked her for doing such a splendid job.

The monthly drawing was held with the winner being the Baers.

The hosts for the evening were Saunders, Shermans and Boyds. A door prize of two cornish hens was won by the Cunninghams. John Prell and Sharon Munger, new members, announced their engagement.

What a wonderful evening we all enjoyed. Thank you to our hosts.

Meeting adjourned.

Secretary,

Sharon Lofgren
