When: March 4, 2006
Where: Patricia Carter’s house
Time: 4:00 p.m.
Linda Bailey, William Bailey, Alvin Cann, Cynthia Cann, Patricia Carter, William Dickey, Jr., Arletha Sims, Earl
Sims, Katrina Sims, Detrice Smith, and Roberta Smith were present at the meeting. It was called to order by
Melba Sims. Khamari, Makyla, and Melba gave a bible verse. Katrina read the minutes from the previous
meeting.
Corrections to the minutes: Cynthia said that it was suggested that we get a family account but she was not the
one who suggested it, and that we do not have to have a 501c3 to open the account. Also, the minutes should
not include who paid or how much was paid. There was a correction in who paid, Alvin did not pay because he
was not there and Cynthia could not recall paying for him. Linda suggested that the agenda be placed on the
website before the meeting so that we can know what we will be talking about.
Financial Report: $325 was collected to give Doris Barnes and her family in their time of bereavement. There was
one expense of $37.45 for a bereavement plant for the Barnes family. Therefore, our current total is $627.55.
Melba made the motion to approve the financial report and it was approved.
Old Business:
1. The Bylaws were passed out and read by Cynthia Cann. Alvin suggested that the bylaws be talked about at
the next meeting when there are more members to talk about the meeting. It was decided that we did not want to
have to wait another 3 months to get the amendments done so we proceeded with the bylaws.
2. Discussion of bylaws: Cynthia wanted to include “themselves” in the purpose of the bylaws but it was decided
that we leave themselves out and include “values.” The exemption of the most senior member from dues will be
removed from the purpose and added to the finance sections under part A. Under the finance section, letter C
will be changed to read the kitty is “a collection” in order for it to read better. Linda suggested that bring-a-
covered-dish be changed because it means something different to each individual. It was changed to all club
members shall bring a food dish. Katrina suggested that we define all officers’ duties and the bylaws committee
will work on that for the next meeting. It was decided that the secretary present the minutes to the president and
vice-president within two weeks after the meeting and to the family within two weeks after that. The people who
view the website will not receive the minutes the rest of the active family members will. William Bailey suggested
that everyone get the minutes the meeting before the family reunion. It was decided that the bylaws committee
would work on including the above into the bylaws. The meeting minutes for Avon Park and Sebring will be
mailed to Patricia Carter who will get them out to everyone in those areas.
3. Discussion on the reunion committees and financial secretary was tabled until the next meeting.
New Business:
1. Bank account: In the previous meeting Amelia said that she would look into opening the bank account, but
she was not there to inform us about it. We had also decided that the Treasurer, President, and Kitty Keeper
would have access to the account. William Bailey said that we only need two signatures so Melba (President) and
Patricia (Treasurer) will look into it.
2. Tabled the discussion of the reunion committees and the right of passage.
3. Patricia made a motion that we make Avon Park the site for the next family reunion. Linda seconded the
motion and it passed 8 to 3.
Dues were collected by Katrina.
Dues: $225
Kitty: $14
Total: $239
The next meeting will be at Roberta Smith’s house 4:00 pm on June 3rd.
