AIRMEN’S COOKIE DRIVE:   

1.  ACTIVITY SINCE LAST MEETING:

·        Forwarded the sign up list to the coordinator for the ESC.  I was out of town when they met and she was going to have people sign up at their meeting.

·        Called First Sgt. Mike Dyer, the President of the Shirts Association and gave him the date of the cookie drive.  He mentioned that it was also the date of the Enlisted Dining In – but that was okay.

·        Mailed out letters to the community (schools and churches) to ask if they wanted to participate again this year.  I just used the list from last year.  I’ve heard back from 3 people.

·        Submitted article for November issue of ACCents.

·        Emailed a flyer to Dawn Olsen to put on the webpage.

·        Emailed information to Coretta Britt to work on publicity.

 2. UPCOMING PLANS:

·        Submit article about the Cookie Drive for December issue of ACCents.

·        Call the people I sent letters to in the community, that I haven’t heard from,  to see if they are going to participate in the cookie drive

·        Talking with the shirts to have them start getting info together about their airmen in the dorms.

·        I still need someone to volunteer to be the Neighborhood Drop off POC in Bethel Manor.  If you can do this, please let me know.

·        I am in need of volunteers to help distribute extra trays of cookies the afternoon of the cookie drives. Obviously, we won’t know how much extra we’ll have until that day. Places we took them last year include offices on Langley (SFS, Fire Dept., etc.) as well as dorms at Ft. Eustis, and all area USO Lounges (Patrick Henry Airport, Norfolk Airport, and Navy Norfolk PAX terminal). If you can help deliver that afternoon, I’d appreciate it—just contact me at your convenience.

3. FINANCES

            A. Income: N/A

            B. Expenses: Book of stamps (8.80) – I haven’t submitted my receipt yet

4. MOTIONS: None

 

MISC:  It was mentioned at the last board meeting to look into using something other than the Styrofoam trays.  I never followed up on this because I had already submitted my request to the Commissary.  In the past the Commissary has been very generous in donating items to us, I didn’t want to change the request in case the manager had already started ordering the items.  I will put it in the after action report for the chairperson next year.  There was no documentation about the trays in last years’ binder (other than they were used).

44 RSVP’d, 27 were O’Club members

             RECOMMENDATIONS (It is my thought that the following actions will likely increase the number of people attending monthly functions, and will also likely reduce the number of late rsvp replies.)

    • Recommend that Membership Chair send email message to membership each month, one week prior to LOSC function, reminding members of RSVP deadline.  Recommend attaching function flyer to email.
    • Recommend posting reservation information in each monthly edition of ACCents.  Also recommend that this same information be posted on the website.  (See draft language attached).
