October, 2018 Meeting Minutes
The meeting started with the Pledge of Allegiance, led by President Frank Nash.
There were 24 members present, and no new members or guests.
October birthdays were recognized.
VP Sue Chonoles updated the club on the shirts. The email she sent a month ago was just received today to the woman. Mens UV Long
shirts with pockets are not available. Sue will keep the club informed.
Sue also presented an article from 2015 ‘Should You Stay or Should You Go’ in her monthly tips. Staying is usually the right call.
It was announced that volunteers are needed for the Holiday party in December. A signup sheet was made available.
Board elections are coming up. Anyone wanting to run for a position must let the nominating committee know (more info later in the
newsletter).
Treasurer Laurie Haire presented the Treasurer’s report. There was some discussion about moving the club account from Wells Fargo to
Chase. The club could benefit financially by receiving incentive money from Chase.
President Frank Nash and Laurie Haire are putting together a hunt at Jupiter Inlet. More details in the newsletter.
Halloween theme snacks from Panera Bread were provided by Frank and Laurie. Bill and John Lane also brought sausage, crackers, and
cheese.
Member Tripp Ciosi was the featured presentation. He shared information on the Minelab Equinox detectors.
50/50 was $47.50, and was won by Lee LeClair. She generously kept only $20, and gave the rest back to the club.
Meeting was adjourned at 9:00

Pay your dues early, and the club can receive $750.

Club Hunt November 4

The club is considering changing banks. By switching to the new
bank, the club can receive a $750 bonus. We must maintain a
$2500 balance for two months, and make two eligible deposits
during that time. Paying your dues in November would bring our
account balance over $2500. Your dues can be paid at the meeting.
Checks are welcome, of course.

Final details and location of the November 4th hunt will be provided
to all members who have signed up for the hunt. Please call Frank
Nash (786-269-5744) or Sue Chonoles (561-262-8621) after 6
p.m. on Saturday November 3rd. The club has reserved a room for
breakfast/lunch at the Lighthouse Diner after the hunt.

Who is this man?
We had a mysterious person join us for the meeting. He
was wearing a name tag that read ‘Jim’, but we’re not
sure who it was. We hope he enjoyed the meeting.

October Winners
Best Costume – AL
Most unusual – Laurie
Best gold – John
Best Coin – Arnie

Please “Sign Your Finds”
At this past meeting, the entry form for the winning Best Costume entry had ‘A L’ on the back. When I was
putting together the newsletter, I realized I didn’t know who this person was. I asked around, and no one
seemed to know, either. I couldn't tell if I was looking at someone’s initials or a first name. I feel terrible that
I couldn’t give this person the recognition he deserved for winning the category. If anyone knows who this is,
please let me know, so I can give him credit for the win, which goes toward the Detector of the Year prize at
the end of the year.
In the future, I am asking all members who participate in the Best Finds to please put your first and last name
on the back of the entry form.
