Meeting Notes

Greetings All,

I just wanted to send out some meeting notes from our little powwow last night. The events we have chosen were attached in an email that was sent out to everyone. The others that we had questions on will be discussed at future meetings for example the two Antietam events. We were still up in the air on which one to attend as well as if we did the "nit picker" one which battalion we would fall in with. So, I will try to gather more information on both events for the next meeting in February. I just want to take a moment to thank Ken Hillegass again for his years as Chairman and wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors. Those in attendance were Tom Wilde, Mark Hooverman, Ray Slattery, Tom Simich, Andrew Augustynovich, Dan Houston, Dan Slattery, Andy Kaminski, Ken Hillegass, and a special appearance by Scott Butler. Just a reminder to please pay your due as soon as you can! The 5th's Treasury is very low and if we want to have picnics, Christmas parties, and give donations we need all of your help. Also, just wanted to let everyone know about a change of procedure I will be making as your newly elected Chairman. When wanting me to register you for an event, I will ask that the money be paid up front or you are on your own. I will not take from the treasury and have you pay me at a later time. That method has depleted our funds drastically and we need to make an effort to replenish it. Once, I get a tally from Ken on who still owes money from events not paid for I will be coming around to collect. Finally, I want to congratulate Ray Slattery for being re-elected as our Captain and to Andy Kaminski for being elected to 1^st Sgt. for like the 100^th time or something. Oh, keep an eye out in your email box for the first edition of this year's newsletter; I know you’re just as excited as I am. Take care and see you all at the next meeting.

Respectfully,

Brian S. Herchek

Chairman, 5^th Ohio
