November 2015

South Carolina Treasure and Artifact Association - November Minutes          November 28, 2015

The SCTAA met on November 23, 2015 with 29 in attendance including new member, Mark Lightfoot.

Reports: Bill Guthke called Randy to let us know he has lung cancer.  We signed a Get Well card and Randy delivered it on Tuesday.  Robert Weaver asked for the by-laws to be amended to clarify the issue of Lake Lure hunt fees being applied to next year’s dues if a member finds he cannot attend the hunt.  Currently, the by-laws do not address the issue.  Years back, it seems no refunds or adjustments were allowed.

The program was a turkey shoot using darts and a dart board.  Chris Phillips won first prize, a turkey and Jimmy Cochran was second and won a pumpkin pie.

September treasury ended with a balance of $ 757.92.  We collected:  raffle  - $82; donation can - $13.01;  2016 memberships - $525;  sale of decals - $4.50. We converted $5 in half dollars to birthday coins. The November deposit is $624.51. The amended closing balance (discrepancy noted) in the checking account is now $ 1,377.43.  We also keep $30 cash in small bills set aside to make change.
