We had a great turnout for the June meeting – 25 members.   Our guest speaker was  Jim Haney.  Jim is an Easton graduate in1971 and has been involved with NCAA officiating for 50 years.  He officiated for football and basketball for nearly all the Division I conferences.  He is presently the assigner of the officials for games.  He shared personal stories of his years officiating and his knowledge of the sports that he has acquired over the years.  He has a great concern for the future of officiating since it is presently difficult to find and retain  officials due to behaviors of fans,  parents, and athletes in today’s sports world.  He was extremely entertaining and knowledgeable and the members truly enjoyed his presentation.

After our great meal the meeting was called to order. 

Hank announced the scholarship winners for 2025.  The awards were presented on May 21.  All 4 of our winners were present.  It was wonderful to meet them and their parents.  They were all very grateful and thankful to the club for selecting them.

It was nice to see Dale Ritter and Ed Rabenold out of the hospital and able to attend the meeting.

We congratulated Dale and Lucy Ritter on their 66th wedding anniversary June 6.

There was no further new business from the members.  Meeting was adjourned but folks stayed and visited after the meeting.
