Retiree Scholarship for 2015 Financial Aid will continue to choose our Retiree Association scholarship recipient. We have been distributing a yearly $700 scholarship. We need $25,000 in our scholarship fund to increase the amount to $1000. We are a couple thousand shy of that goal. Salon Program Series Jane and Sue Goral are presenting two holiday piano concerts on December 3, one at 2 p.m. and one at 7 p.m. Jane will talk with Cliff Abbott and Linda Curl about performing compositions for piano 4-hands and possibly having a sing along at the evening performance. To date we have 6 people attending. Jim will send out another e-mail to the listserve. We decided not to specifically ask for a $25 donation to attend. By-Law Revisions We need to look at choosing Board members in a different manner than on a ballot. Our main goal would be to get people interested in being on the Board and then internally the Board members can select a President. A possibility for the would be that everyone has a turn taking minutes. We will put this on hold secretary’s job until next month. Winter Events Jane is working on a slide ID party. She asked Pat to contact some retired classified employees who would be willing to meet for about 2 hours in the Library Archives to go over slides to name people and events. Jane gave Pat several dates that would be available for working in Archives. Informed Choice Presentation Jim indicated that Informed choice needs 90 days notice to set up a presentation. We will talk with them next year and try to set up a presentation in the 1965 room during the month of September or October 2015. Informed Choice is flexible with dates and times. It was suggested that we have the presentation on the day that UWGB holds their Benefits Fair. This year it was held October 8 from 11-2:30. Tracy will check with HR see if a date is set for next year. She thought it was usually the second Wednesday in October. Board Meeting Schedule We will meet December 9, 2014, and then February 10, 2015 and April 7, 2015. We will not meet during the months of January and March. New Business Jim said that Ron Starkey was interested in serving on the Board in some capacity. Jim will contact Ron and enthusiastically welcome him to our December meeting. The meeting adjourned at 10:44 a.m. Our next meeting will be Tuesday, December 6, at 9:30 in ES307. Respectfully Submitted, Pat Przybelski, Secretary
