 President Jimbo opened the meeting on time.

  Many members were absent/small turnout but an exciting speaker. Jason Bittner of Triple Helix design Studios gave great information on building your web page and costs involved( for the computer challenged it was educational for sure.)

 Pres. Jimbo spoke on membership election( all members should have rec. a email shorten version of info handed out. Anyone that would like to have a longer copy Jimbo has it)

 Jimbo also spoke on the fact that our donations to the Foundation are outstanding work by the members. We did very well within the district for a new small club. Congrates to all members who have donated directly or via our"mini milk cartons". Great Job by the Foundation Committee

   There was a Board meeting following with a New Community program agreeded on(within our small budget) Be sure to come this Tuesday and hear all about it.
