Julie read a letter to the board from Marv Salisbury. He had a number of suggestions for improving the club. One was better communication for information. It was discussed the individual clubs may chose from what RI suggests. New Member Committee and Communication Committee are now doing the function.

Marv wondered what we have done about the "Clear Water Program". It has not been discussed because we have completed it.

The monthly attendance report should be sent to the newsletter, --will do.

Monthly financial statement should be published; Kevin will take care of it.

Also reports from Board meetings to members. We are working on that.

Marv is appreciated for his prudence and care of our club.

Letters were read:

Craig Reese asking for a leave of absence.

Terry Thompson asking for a leave of absence.

These were accepted and the group discussed how this affects the club. The dues will continue, and attendance is excused. We will get clarification on this.

There will be no meeting on the 10th of December, because of our Christmas party, and Dec. 24th will be a 'dark day'.

The Board discussed the ongoing problem of our breakfast relationship with the Red Lion. We will continue to publish that each person must pay $3.00, and that there will be three breakfast choices for $6.50. Choices will be -Bagel with cream cheese and fruit; 2 eggs, meat, hash browns; Oatmeal and toast.

Brad Hauck presented an idea to the board. He has been thinking about the Rotoplast program and what we can do to help. He has talked with the El Mundo newspaper, that news of Rotoplast can go to the Hispanic community just to offer opportunity for donations. Articles will run in the World and El Mundo. The board agreed that this would be a good thing to do. Brad will take charge of it.

Meeting was adjourned.

Respectfully submitted,

Carol Stueckle, Sec'y
