Old Business:

New Business:
Adam Kutell proposed that we look into a new meeting place since we were meeting in a room with no air conditioning.
Dick Shields reminded us that this room is free and it only happens a few times a year that we are in this particular room.
Rob VanWinkle reminded us that when we are in our regular room the air conditioner is too loud.
Howard weighed in with the fact that we used to meet at the Best Western and they charged us $62 a week and it was not nearly as nice or big. We were extremely fortunate that Dick Shields was able to get this room.
Mike Marian suggested that we have a committee to look into a backup room.
Adam Kutell agreed to head a committee to look into an alternative.
Diane Fawcett, VP Membership suggested we postpone induction of a new member until next meeting since the business meeting ran so long.
