Oswego Emeriti Association
Executive Board Meeting Minutes - King Alumni Hall
September 20, 1999
Board Members Present: Donald Cox, Eleanor Filburn, Kent Rosebery, Willard Schum, Barbara Shineman
Guest: Peg Lowery
- The agenda for the meeting was approved with the addition of two items: request for a presentation by Bishop Commons and Membership dues.
- The minutes of the May 24, 1999 executive board meeting were approved.
- There was no treasurer's report because the Foundation Office is in the process of changing its computer program. Two memorial books have been purchased in memory of Ronald Prisco and Robert McManus. Membership lists were distributed.
- The Annual Luncheon at Sheldon Hall was very successful. A critique mentioned keeping the agenda short, trying not to repeat too much from the business meeting, and tightening up by having each speaker introduce the next person. Some suggestions for workshops: for new people, a session with Joan Dennison on retirement and an overview of retirement facilities and places presented by AARP, rather than one local establishment.
- Barb Shineman reported that the display for the Emeriti Display Case in Penfield Library is almost ready.
- Jim Hastings has agreed to continue serving on the Campus Environmental Advisory Committee (CAEC). The Board appreciates his service. A suggestion was made to check on possible committees that emeriti might like to serve on, and for committees that the College might like to input from Emeriti. Some possibilities were Strategic Planning, Parking, etc. Another suggestion was to have in the newsletter some information about continued services for retirees, such as free parking and discounts at the College Bookstore.
- Peg Lowery presented an update on Development activities. The Fall Classic grossed over $313,000. There is an Al Roker Scholarship for minority students. The Sheldon Legacy group has had 43 responses.
- The Emeriti Newsletter will be distributed in November. It was suggested to indicate, with a red X on the address, those who still owe dues.
- Will Schum agreed to chair the Celebrating Sheldon's Legacy Event. It will be October 15, 1999 with students and faculty invited.
- There was some discussion about the appearance of the campus. Concerns were raised about the condition of the tennis courts, needed lawn mowing, and improving entrances to buildings. It was recommended that Jim Hastings convey emeriti concerns to CEAC.
- Ellie Filburn presented Lois Jackim, in consultation with Barb Gerber, will determine which buildings need plaques and develop a priority list of buildings. Lois will report at the next meeting with more specifics and her progress.
- The cost for supporting the memorial books was discussed. All agreed that it was a worthwhile project and should be continued. If more people paid their dues, this would help since the Association has no other income. As an aside, Peg Lowery will check on having the Board receive the Campus Update.
- The following officers were elected for the 1999-2000 year.
Chairperson- Eleanor Filburn
Vice Chairperson- Willard Schum
Secretary- Donald Cox
Treasurer- Kent Roseberry
Newsletter Editor- John Fisher
- The meeting was adjourned at 4:13 p.m.
- The next meeting will be Monday Dec. 6, 1999 at King Hall at 1:30 p.m.
Respectfully Submitted,
Elleanor Filburn
Secretary/Treasurer
