JW Ligon Class of ‘68 Meeting
December 8, 2018 Class Minutes

The Class of 1968 Holiday Meeting was held at WINGZ AMERICAN GRILL Farmington Square Plaza Saturday, December 8, 2018 @ 3 PM.

PRESENT: Toney Bethea, Alice Lambright, Bertha Davis Montague, Cynthia Sanders Freeman, Clarence Williams, Gail Flagg Cromwell and Geneva Rogers Hill.

Meeting opened @ 3:45PM with Welcome by Toney Bethea and Prayer/Blessing of Food by Minister Gail Cromwell.

The Treasurer, Alice Lambright, circulated the report as of 11/30/2018.

Scholarship Discussion
Class of '68 Scholarship Fund amount as increased to $500.00 from contributions received from over-payment of Reunion dues.

Challenge: Discussion ensued to challenge other Classes to do likewise and give $1000.00 scholarships.

Fund Raising Discussion
A Sock Hop is coming up for another Class 
Toney suggested a Valentine's Blue Gold Ball to increase and give scholarships to students who need them.

Alice asked when will we begin to collect/pay dues; the more we do the greater chance we'll have surplus.
Motion made to do complete one or more fund raisers per year.
Alice suggested an auction. Toney suggested a Raffle and not to hesitate to put forth ideas.
Fund raiser motion by Alice, seconded by Geneva.

By-Laws Discussion- Toney
Still a need for By-Laws as they set out Terms of Officers/ Board of Directors explaining duties/responsibilities as we are trying to get things standardized so we'll know who is what.
They have to be read/modified to fit our need. There should be a way to put people in leadership positions by a process. We need to always represent Ligon High School.
Acting responsibly, we should be able to go out and ASK for contributions and not necessarily do fund raisers; to ask corporations/businesses to contribute to our Scholarship Fund as we represent Ligon High School.
Toney will be sending everyone a generic set of By-Laws for class members to make suggestions / changes, as stated before, to get things standardized/organized / adopted / rejected by the Class.
