PILOTS RETIREMENT FOUNDATION MEETING By Harry Mokler, President
The annual membership meeting of the Foundation was held in St. Louis on January 19, 1985. Over 150 proxies were received. The main items of business were the Board of Trustees election and several amendments to the By-Laws. The president's report covered the Foundation activities for the year of 1984 and the Secretary/Treasurer's report dealt mainly with the handling of Foundation finances. Our fund is now over $80,000.00. Expenses continue to be negligible and outlay has been for assistance to beneficiaries. The quarterly Board of Trustees meeting followed the membership meeting. Though I had informed the membership in mid-year that I would not be a candidate for re-election, I was outflanked and out maneuvered and re-elected. Bill Polk continues as Secretary/Treasurer and Bob Essaf as Vice-President. Persons receiving assistance from the Foundation are required to file updated applications for assistance at the end of each year and these were reviewed by the Board. Two new applications were reviewed and discussed. Applicants having been screened, they were approved for assistance. Other cases were discussed but not approved. The Board wishes to express its deepest appreciation to all supporters of the Foundation. We hope you never need our help, but we are all subject to the strikes of wilful calamity. We hope to grow stronger each year and to be available to any retired brother or sister if misfortune turns your way Harry Mokler
