The proposed wine tasting and fall kick-off events have been combined, and the combined event will be held at the Casa Marina Hotel, Jacksonville Beach.

The cost per attendee will be $15.

A slate of officer nominees for 2010/2011 with the exception of the president elect was approved unanimously. Board members will remain the same as for 2009/2010 except for one who moved away from the area. Nominations will be voted on at the wine tasting / fall kick-off party. A president elect is expected to be appropriately nominated and voted in during the fall football game viewing party period.

Apr
13

Location: Cracker Barrel
Date: April 13, 2010

Discussions were conducted on the spring banquet scheduled for April 26 at Maggiano’s Restaurant.

A wine tasting event targeting young alumni is being considered in mid-June.

Since the current terms of officers and board members are being extended from May until August to eventually achieve calendar operation like the UTAA, the development of a slate of nominees for 2010 / 2011 has been delayed but will be accomplished to allow board approval at the July meeting.

Also discussed were the recent Annual Leadership Conference and Awards Banquet (where the chapter was presented a certificate for being an outstanding Two Star chapter for 2009 / 2010) and a Facebook page for the chapter.

Jan
12

Location: Times Grill, 13500 Beach Blvd
Date: January 12, 2010

Jennifer Hendrich, Ed Galbury, Frances Tyler, and Matt Defflemy were welcomed as new board members.

Planning for the spring banquet continues. A more reasonably priced venue than some country clubs contacted is desired for a high turn out.

In addition to the spring banquet, a wine tasting party is being considered as a young alumni event.

Although the Times Grill has proven to be an excellent location for viewing parties, conversation among the 16 attendees at this meeting was difficult due to normal restaurant noise. Future board meetings will be held elsewhere preferably at a restaurant with a private room. The board will be kept up to date by email on this matter.

The availability of a block of from 6 to 8 tickets for the lady vols versus Florida basketball game in Gainesville on January 14 was announced.

By unanimous vote the chapter will convert to calendar year operations for consistency with the UTAA. This provides for term extensions of officers and board members to allow full calendar year terms to begin January 1, 2012.

A canned food drive will be held at the Alabama football game viewing party.

Discussions also included progress with goals applicable to the new chapter tier program, preliminary planning for the 2010 spring banquet, and a possible group trip to an away Florida or South Carolina basketball game.
