Membership is down 18% from last year, (39) members in 2003 to (32) members currently in 2004.

 

Suspension Of Meetings: Several reasons were discussed, however mostly due to lack of meeting attendance and general lack of interest in club activities a motion was made by Bill Click to suspend club meetings until November. A second was made by Chris Betzner. November is our normal month for nominations. We are hoping that if anyone is interested they will show their support by attending the meeting and possibly hold an officer’s position for the upcoming year. If attendance is not adequate for officer nominations, then the club is prepared to stop meeting and turn the moneys over to another organization. Top of the list is the Nickel Plate Trail.

Meeting was adjourned.
