Rollingwood Women’s Club Meeting April 26, 2016, Featuring Amy
Ford of New York Life addressing Women in Insurance.
At the Home of Nicole Leonard at 5002 Jeffery Place.
The meeting began with a presentation of by Amy Ford of New York
Life. Amy is an Insurance Broker and encouraged members to think about Long
Term Care Insurance. Amy was introduced by Debbie Holley of Brookdale Senior
Living. Wine and snacks were provided by the speakers.
President Marissa Miraur called the meeting to order. The next
meeting will be the final one of the season and is Monday, May 9 at the
Rollingwood Pool. This will end the current term for board members. All RWC
members interested in board level positions are encouraged to apply. The
Hospitality Position (currently occupied by Marnie Fitzgerald) in particular is
open.
Next up, members congratulated Roseann Ferraro for her amazing
coordination of the Life Is Good in the Wood 5k! The race raised around $14,500
minus costs. All together, there were
$7,350 from sponsors, $1,200 from family sponsors, $500 from food, $100
from Amy’s Ice Cream and roughly $6,000 in registrations. However, Marissa
addressed the complexities of fund raising in sponsorship. The 5k has become so
successful that some members recommend that a new board position should be
created. The proposed position would be called the Fund Raising Chair and would
specifically be responsible for organizing permitting for the Fourth of July
Parade and 5k. Regular members would continue to operate each event
independently. The Bylaws would need to be amended to create this new position,
which will most likely happen at the first Fall meeting.
Next Marissa and Becky Combs spoke on behalf of the Rollingwood
Community Garden, who is in need a new coordinator. Current and long-time coordinator Roni
Verokolt will be moving out of the neighborhood. They are looking for members
with young children in particular to take the reins.
Shanthi Jayakumar and Flo Macklin reminded members to submit
their house histories for the albums.
The meeting was adjourned.
