1. Fred Kapa advised that the forms required by the State of Michigan for our 501C3 status have been mailed and received by the State of Michigan for the year
2012, as required.
2. Tom Manial advised we received an invitation to the Owosso Dawn Patrol, however, due to the rather late invitation, we do not have the volunteers to
participate. However, Tom will take the L-2 to the event on that weekend.
3. Dan Kenny advised he found another good dog tag machine that is available from the Medical Center in West Branch, Michigan. They will give the machine to us,
but would like us to consider a donation to their facility for a medical machine that they need in their bio-medical department.
Dan has contacted them, telling them that we can use the dog tag machine, either as a working unit, or for parts to replace worn ones on our existing machine, but he
has not yet heard back from them.
A motion was made by Jeff Turner to give Dan Kenny the authority to offer the medical facility a donation, not to exceed $750.00 to be made to the Bio-Medical
Department of the West Branch Medical Facility as a donation for the dog tag machine. The motion was seconded by Barb Hatfield, and passed by the council and
members.
4. A motion was made by Dan Kenny to have our Christmas and holiday meeting again this year as a breakfast meeting at the Texan Restaurant on November 19,
2011, and that we would invite, and pay for the breakfast of invited guests who have contributed to our museum in various ways over the past year to thank them for
their help and support. The motion included that our existing members will pay $5.00 a piece for their own breakfasts. The motion was seconded by Dale Mikesell, and
passed by the council and membership.
5. After discussion, a motion was made by Tom Manial that we become members of the Saginaw Castle Museum, as they have been supportive of our new museum.
The motion was seconded by Jeff Turner, and passed by the council and members.
Meeting adjourned @ 11:10 AM. Next meeting Sat. October 15, 2011
