- Treasurer's Report: Ralph Thompson, Treasurer read report. "6/18/20. The bank balance as of
today is $2791.81. There has not been any transactions since the previous report dated May 21,
2020. Our Legacy Texas Bank account was merged with Prosperity Bank the weekend of June 5,
2020. On June 10, 2020, I met with a representative at the Eldorado branch office to resolve
issues accessing the SAR bank account over the internet and mobile phone, and ordered new
checks. The new checks arrived in a few days with the name "Texas Society Sons". I contacted
Prosperity Bank and was able to reorder checks which should have the name "Texas Society
Sons of American Revolution, McKinney Chapter #63."
Ralph Thompson, Treasurer, advises there was no charge to reorder the checks and wanted the
name to match what was on the previous checks.
Tom Milson made a motion to accept the Treasurer's report, motion seconded by Nathan White,
no discussion, motion approved by voice vote.
- In follow up to a previous email from David Kinsey, Chapter President, On Saturday morning
6/19/20 by Zoom via Facebook Live, the Catawba Valley Chapter in conjunction with NCSAR
will hold the 240th commemoration of the Battle of Ramsour's Mill, Lincolnton, NC, of June 1780.
David Kinsey asked for fellow compatriots to join in presenting honors which will help with
McKinney Chapter Americanism points, and Luis Juarez will be getting dressed up and
participating with the wreath laying. David Kinsey then displayed via video, the wreath he made
for the event. This will be the first national event via Zoom. David Kinsey subsequently sent
email to the SAR McKinney Chapter with the link to anyone who wanted to view the event.
-Tom Van Fossen had follow up question for the treasurer, "has the McKinney Chapter received
from the state, the 2020 dues because the Dallas chapter has not received theirs." Ralph
Thompson, Treasurer, indicates McKinney Chapter received deposit May 15th. Ralph Thompson
stated he had sent some questions to the state treasurer and got a partial reply back and the
state treasurer is supposed to get with National to address some other questions we had. Ralph
