Meeting was called to order at 1300 hrs. There were 12 members present.

Current balance of  $2671.13  Report filed for audit.

Jim Myers joined our group. He told us about his time in the Marines.

Bill reported we received thank you's from LSS, Fairhope Hospice, and Honor Flight Columbus for our 2025 donations.

Bob Ortman and Jim VanBibber's names were added to the Bremen CD.

Our 2025 taxes have been filed by Delaney and Company at no charge. 

The Olivedale Annual meeting for the election of  Board members is March 25th. Reserve your box lunch by March 20th. We will be featured at the meeting with a slide presentation and table display. Bill Reed is running for re-election.

Anne Anderson made a motion to have a Silent Auction in November. George Benz seconded and the motion passed. Bill will get with Carla to establish the dates.

Lloyd Robertson made a motion to donate to LSS Veterans Shelter and Fairhope Hospice     again this year for their work serving local Veterans. George Benz seconded and the motion passed. 

The Eagles closed and Bill reserved the community room at the Pleasant Township Fire Station for our picnics (which will now be potlucks). The cost is $50 less than the Eagles shelter was. The first potluck will be June 15th. The September date will be determined     later.

The group will go on a trip to Utica again this summer. Another possible car pool trip to a military museum in Harrisburg will be explored.

The group still wants to participate in the 3 parades this year.

Bill asked if something other than donuts was preferred for our meetings. There were no new suggestions.

 Remember to change your clocks 1 hour ahead this weekend.
