From: Secretary, NAS JRB Ft. Worth E-6 Association
Subj: NAS JRB FT. WORTH E-6 ASSOCIATION GENERAL ASSEMBLY MEETING MINUTES
1. On 11 October 2001, the General Assembly of the NAS JRB Ft. Worth E-6 Association met at BLDG 3346 (The "Lake House") for the regular monthly meeting. A quorum being noted, the meeting was called to order at 1501 by President Charbono.
2. Treasurer’s Report: $1890.23 in the bank with an outstanding debit of $415.00 due to MWR. (C. Norcross)
3. Old Business
a) The Lake House repairs are continuing. AM1 Flow reports that the installation of the ice machine is in progress, but the machine pulls too much current for the circuitry and circuit breakers. The back steps and the picnic table have not yet been repaired. P/W says that we will not get a fire suppression system, therefore we will not be able to use the stove. AK1 Charbono will browbeat them and try to get them to reverse that decision. Smoke alarms have not been installed, so the smoking lamp is OUT. We have dropped down the priority list for A/C, and the condition of the heating system is questionable. AK1 Charbono is working with Wes Cloud on the heater and the toilet and flooring in the main head. We’re still trying to find the roof leak. The ceiling and wall repairs are ongoing. DirecTV has been installed. (AK1 Charbono/AM1 Flow)
b) The Tarrant Area Food Bank excursions are now on the 2nd Thursday of each month. The October event was only attended by 4 members. This is not acceptable. The November and December runs will need a bunch of people, since the food bank will be gearing up for Thanksgiving and Christmas. (AK1 Charbono)
c) Six Flags Booster Club excursions continue to be a good deal for us, but the end of the main season is upcoming. There will be availability through Holidays In The Park. AK1 Charbono will continue to provide availability updates via GroupWise. (AK1 Charbono)
d) Slug season is over, so the CPOA now has no excuse. AD1 Fetsko has been trying to contact them to reschedule the annual softball game, but they appear to still be afraid of us. (AD1 Fetsko)
e) We’re looking at the first annual (?) family gathering and campout happening 2-4 November at Lake Benbrook. AK1 Charbono will send out the details later. (AK1 Charbono)
f) We are collecting pull-tabs from soda and beer cans in the plastic bear on the kitchen counter. They get turned in for time units of kidney dialysis for the daughter of someone at the law firm of Modero-Keith. Bring remote collection cans in to General Assembly Meetings. (AT1 Clark)
g) Fleet Reserve Association Branch 11 has been activated in Fort Worth. Cindy Norcross is the Vice President. They meet on the 3rd Saturday of each month, 1000, at VFW 8235, 5333 White Settlement Road (just across the river). Maps are posted in The Lake House. As of now, there are only two active duty members of that branch (AT1 Crawley and AE2 Crawley), so the Association membership is encouraged to join the Branch. (C. Norcross)
h) The car wash coordinator is directed to set up a car wash to raise funds for the Ruckel family. It will happen at the Taco Bell on 183. Date TBA, but hopefully VERY soon (as in before the weather cools down too much) or it will be 50 lashes for the car wash coordinator. (AD1 Bouy)
i) The Adopt-A-Highway was quite successful. The 15 folks who turned out filled 45 bags with trash and they didn’t even finish the whole distance. The next walk will be in November. (AK1 Charbono)
j) Lunchtime burger burns have begun.
k) Due to the emergency situation, turnout for the Habitat For Humanity house framing festival was limited to three Navy personnel (AD1 Close, AM1 Flow, and AT2 Dudzinski), but there might be another one in November. (AD1 Close)
l) The haunted house for this year was discussed, with two options being most feasible. We could either take one room of the Desert Storm club and make it the non-kiddy part of MWR’s Fright Night, or we could work with VFA-201’s First Class Association and do our own at either their hanger or the Lake House. MWR might have a hayride going, and if they do, one stop will be at the Lake House. The date is 26 OCT. (AK1 Charbono and AD1 Snyder)
m) The Christmas Party will not be like last year’s due to a lack of funding. We will probably have quite a bit fewer door prizes. The possible locations are the Desert Storm and the Green Oaks Hotel, which AD1 Snyder says is making very good deals right now. (AD1 Fetsko and AD1 Snyder)
n) The procurement of new shirts will be discussed at the November Executive Committee Meeting, with 2 companies as possible vendors. AD1 Close has been in contact with Little Stitch For You, in Dallas, AD1 Snyder knows a C-130 loadmaster who has a comparable business on the side, and YN1 Daniels has info from still another company that can do shirts, coffee cups, etc. (AD1 Close, AD1 Snyder, and YN1 Daniels)
o) AT1 Clark will be in charge of the refurbishing of the sand volleyball court in the Lake House’s back yard. The roto-tilling and weed/grass removal will happen in October. (AT1 Clark)
p) The dumpster across from the Lake House is for general office trash and kitchen trash, not for remodeling trash (who put that freezer in there?). (AK1 Charbono)
4. New Business
a) The Grand Opening/Hail & Farewell will be held on Friday, 16 November, at noon, in conjunction with the November General Assembly Meeting. Before then, we will need to field day the place and do touch up work. (AM1 Flow)
b) AM1 Flow will put together a list of housekeeping supplies needed. (AM1 Flow)
c) Since the base website is still down, and might not be back for a long time, our website has been moved to www.oocities.org/e6_assn/. (Norcross)
d) Home Depot has a military discount on purchases through 21 October. (AD1 Fetsko)
5. AS1 Arnold made a motion to adjourn the meeting. AD1 Close seconded the motion. President Charbono adjourned the meeting at 1559.
