Minutes
May 18, 2002
Fourteen members attended the May 18, 2002 Great Plains Heisey club meeting at the home of Gary and Shelby Corey in Overland Park, Kansas. President Kathy Files called the meeting to order late due to the fact that members hadn’t seen each other since last November. There was a lot of talking and looking at the “winter” Heisey purchases.
The minutes of the November 10, 2001 meeting were approved as submitted. The Treasurer's Report was approved as presented. We have 27 paid members for 2002 at this time. We are hoping more members will renew their memberships and we always welcome new members.
Old Business:
1. A discussion about dues was held. It was decided that members could pay dues in advance for up to five years to make the bookkeeping easier for the treasurer and secretary. At the November, 2002 meeting members can pay $5.00 for one year or $25.00 for five years.
2. Our web site needs a host that will let us use our URL “greatplainsheiseyclub.org.” Presently, the Cameron’s host our site, but Qwest requires a business account in order to use another URL. Business accounts are $40-$50 a month. Tom Files is going to check with his internet provider about hosting.
3. Our July 13 meeting will be at the home of John and Trudy Mock in Omaha, Nebraska. The program will be Heisey mustards. The September 14 meeting will be at the home of Jean Will in Leavenworth, Kansas. The program will be Heisey cruets, syrups and oils.
4. We are still going to work on a Heisey calendar for a fundraiser for HCA. Marcie and Eric weren’t at the meeting to give us an update of the work they have done so far on the calendar.
5. At our July meeting we are also going to discuss locations for future meetings.
New Business:
1. Pat and Rex Lucke have generously offered to donate an item in our club name for the Blind auction at the HCA Convention. A big thanks to them for their offer. Kathy Files agreed to contact the Luckes and offer to pay for the donation from the Club treasury.
2. Great Plains will also donate $50 to the sponsoring club for use in the Hospitality Room at the HCA Convention. Kathy Files will contact John Mock about sending a check.
3. The voting delegate for the HCA Convention will be Kathy Files and Bucky Will will be the alternate.
4. The deadline to register for the HCA Convention and be eligible for the souvenirs is May 24.
5. Kathy Files reviewed the HCA Benefit Auction.
