15th Med Association
Minutes - 2003 Meeting
Orlando, FL
The meeting was called to order by President Corky Walsh in a meeting
area Of the Holiday Inn. Since one of the office members, Vice President
Elden Ideius, was lost to an unfortunate accident, we all silently prayed
for one minute to honor him.
Old business was a discussion of the purpose of the 15th Med Association.
Larry Ash read the objectives of the Association.
The treasury funds were brought up. All agreed that the funds should not
come from dues but donations. Murray Gibbs recommended that dues should only
be requested if the funds drop to a certain level. The level of $500.00 was
established and the recommendation was accepted unanimously.
Corky Walsh said that we should keep politics out of the Association. We
are a military unit and that we need to be looking for all our lost
brothers. Corky said that every person that served from Korea to Vietnam are
already a member. With that declared we should be looking out for lost
brother and not forming any kind of politics. All present members agreed
unanimously.
A motion was made to elect the 2003 - 2004 officers. Due to the loss of
Elden Ideius another motion was made to elect an alternate replacement in
case one of the officers cannot fill his duties for some reason. All agreed
unanimously.
Jim Calibro nominated Murray Gibbs for President. The nomination was
seconded, and the members present voted unanimously.
Larry Ash nominated Dan Weaver for Vice President. The nomination was
seconded, and the members present voted unanimously.
Corky Walsh nominated Bob McKinley for Treasurer. The nomination was
