1. Our September chapter meeting will be held Wednesday, October

26, 2016 at the Penbrook American Legion Post 730. Social hour

will begin at 6 PM with dinner being served at 7 PM. Speaker will

follow dinner.

2. On the dinner menu this month will be ham pot pie, cole slaw,

tossed salad, French and Italian dressing, rolls and butter, brownie

with chocolate sauce, coffee, iced tea, soft drinks and beer. Dinner

price is $12; coffee, iced tea and soft drinks are included with the

meal; donations for beer will be accepted. Suggested beer

donations are $1 per glass and $5 per pitcher.

3. It is imperative that you make your dinner reservation by calling

(717-652-1534) or e-mailing Bob Hafer rhafer837@verizon.net) no

later than noon on Monday, October 24, 2016. PLEASE NOTE

THIS IS A NEW RESERVATION NUMBER FOR 2016. IT IS

VITALLY IMPORTANT THAT YOU CALL BOB IF YOU PLAN ON

JOINING US FOR DINNER. WE NEED TO PROVIDE LEGION

POST 730 WITH AN ACCURATE NUMBER OF THOSE WHO

WILL BE ATTENDING. THIS IS TO ENSURE THERE IS ENOUGH

FOOD FOR ALL WHO ATTEND THE MEETING. Also, you need

to know that Post 730 will charge us for the meals we reserve.

So, it is imperative that you also let us know when you make a

reservation and find out later that you are unable to join us for

dinner. Should this happen to you and you don’t call us we will

be charged for your meal. Your cooperation is appreciated.

CAPITAL AREA CHAPTER SPORTS HALL OF FAME 4. Our 51st annual chapter induction banquet has been scheduled for

Saturday June 10, 2017. As a member in good standing you have

the right to nominate candidates for induction. Please see Board

Chairman Tom Finger for nomination forms. Keep in mind your

candidate (1) must be retired from his/her sport for a minimum of 3

years OR (2) be in his/her sport/position for a minimum of 25 years

OR (3) have reached his/her 55th birthday. Also, your candidate

must agree to attend the induction banquet.

5. A sincere tip of the helmet and a hearty CAC thank you goes out to

our September speaker, PennLive’s Sports Manager Burke Noel.

6. Our guest speaker for October will be PA Senior Games Gold

Medalist and financial consultant Tim Noll. You won’t want to miss

his presentation “Lucky to Have Grown Up in Steelton.” Tim tells us

he will be asking trivia questions and passing out envelopes with

$10 bills to those with the correct answers

7. We request that all please be respectful and do not carry on private

conversations while our guest is speaking. Please know that all of

our speakers are well aware of their allotted speaking time and no

one from the audience needs to remind them. If need be, this issue

will be handled in a respectful manner from the head table. Your

cooperation is greatly appreciated.

CAPITAL AREA CHAPTER SPORTS HALL OF FAME 8. It is time to begin thinking about chapter officers for 2017. Section

4.10 of the chapter by-laws state that the chapter officers shall be a

president, vice president, chairman of the board, secretary and

treasurer. Also, section 5.10 states that there shall be 12 elected

board directors. Those interested in any of these one year executive

committee positions should state their intentions to our search

committee chairman Don Graham. The slate of candidates will be

presented to the membership for voting at our November

membership business meeting.

9. The State Hall of Fame Class of 2016 was announced at the Spring

Board of Governors meeting. Congratulations to the class;

10. Please know that our current chapter membership roster now

stands at 444 members in good standing. To date 15 of our

members passed away this year, 70 members failed to renew their

membership for 2016 and we have realized 39 new members.

11. You may pay your 2017 dues at any time. Reminder notices will

be mailed in November.

CAPITAL AREA CHAPTER SPORTS HALL OF FAME 12. Again I remind all, please keep in mind; it is crucial that each

member keeps me attuned to their current postal and e-mail

address. We cannot deliver chapter or state ballots to you if we

cannot contact you. Some of our members neglected to give me

address changes when they moved and consequently did not

receive their ballots this past year.

13. We still have chapter shirts, hats and coffee mugs available.

Please let me know via e-mail if you would like to purchase any of

these items.

14. It is my sad duty to report the passing of our past vice

president, Grant “Spooney” Morrill. As of this writing we have no

information on arrangements. Sympathy cards may be mailed to

Mrs. Joan Morrill at PO Box 372, Middletown, PA 17057-0372.

15. We kindly ask our members to please contact Sick & Vigil Chair

Tom Finger at 717-939-3006 if you know of a member who is ill or

who has passed away. We will be happy to send a get well card to

our member or a sympathy card to the family on behalf of the

chapter.

16. Executive Committee members – our next board meeting is

scheduled for October 19. An agenda will be sent to each member

by way of e-mail or snail mail.
