South Dakota Unit bids Farewell
It has been five months since our Memorial Day Rally in Rapid City. It was an enjoyable time. It was a sad time. Present for the event were Bob & Ginger Collier, Bruce & Carolyn Coonrod, John & Sandi DeYoung, Kemm Satterfield & Myrtle Letcher. Our business meeting was held on Saturday, May 23 at the Lake Park Campground, following our potluck evening meal next to the Collier’s trailer. President Myrtle called the meeting to order at 6:10 p.m. with the pledge of allegiance to the flag. Minutes of our September 29, 2008 meeting and the current
treasurer’s report were read and approved. Other business- the message board for International, delegates, Constitutional amendments, expenses for breakfast and postage-were discussed, decisions made. The Ultimate Decision was left till last. As Secretary Sandi’s minutes state:
“After much discussion and motion duly made and passed, it was decided that due to few members and no one willing to become officers of our unit, that our unit will disband. No further rallies will be held. The money remaining in the treasury will be divided between the food pantries at Rapid City and Pierre. This will be completed by August 1, 2009. The Coonrod’s will have possession of the scrapbooks.”
UPDATE: Thanks to Murt misplacing a check and never finding it, the SD Unit bank account still has not been closed. Kemm will write and mail the checks to the food pantries as soon as the re-issued check has cleared the bank account.This will occur before December 31, 2009.
It was decided that our Unit Flag and the President’s flag would be donated to the WBCCI Archives in Jackson Center, OH. Coffee pots, 5-gallon beverage cooler, table cloths, etc. were appropriately divided or donated to charity. Murt will take any memorabilia pertaining to our WBCCI Unit to sell at the WBCCI International Rally flea market to be held on July 4. (Flea market proceeds, $82.75, were turned over to Treasurer Kemm when Murt returned home in July. The very few song books and the printed emblems & buttons not sold were given to
Kemm to dispose of .) Business meeting adjourned at 8:10 p.m.
