Board of Directors Elected for 2009-10 on June 28th
At this years’ Annual Meeting & Picnic the Prime Timers, DC Board of Directors was elected. The board is now made up of Ken S., President, Bill L. Treasurer, Allan A, Don C, Alan D, Ray N and Rene T are members at large. In addition, two club members were elected for the first time, Jack H. and George E.
The board meets every other month in someone’s home for about an hour and a half to monitor our finances, establish policy and plan our activities. Board members also manage many of our programs as well.
Club Dues:
You recently received a membership renewal form for the 2009-2010 program year. You probably noticed that the club’s dues have increased to $30 per guy, per year. PTers DC has had the same $25.00 annual dues amount since our founding in 1998. The board looked at our annual expenses and felt it appropriate to make this slight increase.
About the “couples” discount
From the first days of the club there was an attempt to accommodate partners or couples by giving them a slight membership fee discount, however, definition of a “couple” was two guys living in the same house. We have found over the years that this is not really fair. There are several couples/partners/lovers in the club, but who do not live in the same house, and there are several friends/roommates etc. who do live in the same house and are not a couple. So we have decided on a one man/one fee policy. Of course, if anyone is having a financial difficulty we are happy to make any adjustment necessary.
Capital Pride, Washington DC
Once again this year, Prime Timers had a booth at the Pennsylvania Ave. Gay Pride Festival on Sunday, June 14th. A BIG thanks for Bill L and his organizing the display and to all the guys who “staffed” the thing and to all those club members who stopped by for support.
While at Lost River:
It has been suggested that some of the guys heading to Lost River prepare to lead the others in some activities, such as discussion, games, sing-a-long, etc. Jon Rose has offered to lead a yogercize session on Saturday morning before breakfast on the back deck overlooking the valley. It will be a short, easy: only standing drop in.
