Retiree Meeting 9/7

1. Applied for Paypal Credit Card Reader - $149. This will be helpful for shirt sales, reunion sales and chili sales. Money will go right into our Paypal account, Randy can transfer funds to the bank. Randy got a debit card from TD bank for Asc – can use to pay postage for mailing shirts, reunion expenses etc. Receipts and paper trail better than writing checks for reimbursement.

2. Chili Cook Off – 2/18/2017 @ Bryant Park. Would like to see us split proceeds (50/50) with organization. I know Butch Smith could use money, maybe Cindy Steinhoff too? Need to decide by October meeting so we can start fund raising letter distribution. Thoughts?

3. Reunion – rec’d $500 from FF Council, should pay for drinks and paper products for Fri/Sat nights. Fri night is cookout so price should be about $7- 10/each, Sat is catered BBQue so should be $15/each. Will need people to help put food away on Thursday am, decorate on Fri am, cook on Fri afternoon, restock on Saturday afternoon. Need headcount for both days.

Looked at doing wine bus but too expensive ($250/hr for 15 pass bus X 6 hrs)

4. Uniforms – had people ask about buying new uniforms from county vendor. They can email me and I will get PBCFR to approve so they can be put on the approved list to purchase uniforms

5. University of Miami – should be getting Annual Cancer Survey ready for retirees by/around October. Two doctors will come to the reunion and be at a table for answering questions, promoting the survey.

6. Shirts – Hannigan has some for people coming to lunch. We have about 55 shirts left that will come to reunion. If we do not have a desired size, they can order and pay and we will have printed. Minimum batch = 24 shirts.

7. Union Retirement Party – 9/23, need people to rsvp to Traci Moore

8. 9/11 Remembrance at PBG FD, flyers posted and sent out.

9. In August Randy renewed our Incorporation with the state.
