President’s
Corner
Happy New Year Turner Members!
I
would like to thank all of the outgoing Board of Directors for their years of
service and would like to welcome the new Board members. Two hundred and
fourteen members voted and elected the following; President Mike Seppelfrick,
Financial Secretary Rick Darfler, and Board of Directors Tom Bozonelos, Mark
Thompson, Steve Nelson, and Brian Darfler, Social Chairperson Theresa Sherman,
Entertainment Chairperson Marietta
Sherman, Sgt.of Arms Gary White and with one position open for Recording
Secretary.
Due
to a shipment of defective door access cards (green and white) the manufacturer
has shipped us 5000 brand new cards (purple and white). These are the cards we will be using in the
future. All of the green cards will be deactivated, and only the purple cards
will be able to access the doors at Aurora Turners. We will be mailing out your
new key cards with your new membership card. DO NOT THROW YOUR GREEN KEY CARD
AWAY!!! THE CARD COMPANY, GENERAL ELECTRIC, NEEDS ALL OF THE GREEN CARDS
RETURNED. If possible, please bring them back to the club and drop them off in
the box by the front door, or mail them to Aurora Turners 1335 Mitchell Rd.
Aurora, IL, 60505. If we do not receive a substantial amount of cards, we will
be charged a fee per card for uncollected cards. Do not return your green card
until you have received your purple one.
As
posted in the main clubroom on 12/22/2008, we will be having three Special
Meetings to discuss the purchase of a new bar and floor in the main clubroom.
The Board has received three bids and will be recommending one to the General
Membership at the January 8th meeting. The cost will be approximately
$100,000.00. The reason for this is the current bar is 27 years old and is in
need of repair. Liquor lines, pop lines, drain issues, as well as a widening of
the bar 18 inches are just some of the reasons to look at the possibility for
making the purchase.
The
first and second meetings are for discussion and to recommend any changes. They will be held Thursday, January 8th
after the 7:00PM General Meeting and Tuesday, January 20 at 7:00PM. We will vote at the third and final meeting.
The bar will be either approved or disapproved.
The voting will be held on Thursday, February 5th after the 7:00
General Meeting.
If
for some reason you do not receive your newsletter on time, you can view/print
it one week before the 1st of the month at the club’s website

With Turner greetings,
Mike Seppelfrick
