NOTE: WE HAVE A NEW MEETING PLACE, American Legion Hall 300 Block of W. Tunnel

President’s corner:

After having the continued problem with the noise we have located a much better meeting place at the American Legion Hall. They have much to offer us. There is still no charge to the club because the facility belongs to the Parks And Recreation Department. Of course The American Legion is looking for new members, and so are we. They have 700 members so the percentage is in our favor and we do not have to join the Legion. See you at the field or at the meeting.

Old business - Frank has made more frequency clips.  As him if you need a clip.

New Business - Proposed that the meeting date be moved to first Tuesday to eliminate conflict with Karate noise.
