Executive Board Meeting - November 11, 2019

SNF Tennis Club

Executive Board Meeting Nov 11, 2019 in the Magnolia Room

Meeting was called to order at 4:00 by President Don Harrington.

Attendees were Richard Brown, Joan Martin, Don Harrington, Ann Sowle, and Wade Wilkerson.

Absent were Joan Axtt, Terrance Black, Catherine Harrington, Bob Dougherty, Mark Eshleman, and Bonny DeSiro

Harrington submitted his and his wife Catherine’s resignation from the SNF Tennis Club since they have moved out of the SNF resort.

Wilkerson moved that Richard Brown be president. Martin seconded the motion. The motion was approved unanimously.

Harrington spoke with Activities last spring and requested dates for our three banquets. Dates requested were selected in coordination with Bonnie DeSiro. Dates were in early December, mid January, and late March. Venues requested for the first two banquets were either Cypress, Pavilion, or Woodland Hall. Venue requested for the last banquet was Woodland Hall. Brown needs to check with activities to determine what dates and venues have been assigned.

Harrington contacted the Activities Department and requested that the Magnolia Room be reserved for SNF Tennis Executive Board meetings on the first Monday of November and December 2019, and January, February, and March of 2020. Activities dropped the request for November--the room was locked and we were not shown on the room reservation schedule. Follow up by Brown is recommended.

With Catherine Harrington’s resignation, it was necessary to establish a lead for the Homecoming Parade and the Social Committee. Brown said he and Brian Sproston are willing to head the Parade activity. Brown will ask Terry and Paula Cooper or Rosemary Schmidt to head the Social Committee.

Wilkerson announced he is not going to teach beginning tennis due to the SNF Manager’s absurd decree last year, namely: one could not be a chairman if not sleeping overnight in the resort.

Brown will determine a start date for the fall ladder. A carton of balls for the Tuesday ladder is in the shed.

The ball machine remote is not working. Brown will manage getting it fixed.

The Board was receptive to getting first aid and AED instructions from Howard Quinn. Brown will set up dates.

Appreciation was expressed for Don Harrington’s leadership over the past few years. He responded that he hoped that when he died, the Tennis Club would put a brick in the Memorial Walk for him.

Meeting was adjourned at 4:40 PM.

Respectfully submitted,

Wade W. Wilkerson, Secretary
