Board of Director’s Minutes

The Board of Director’s met last Thursday for the July meeting.  Eleven members were present.  The secretary and treasurer reports were presented and approved.  Dr. Keith Thompson’s name was presented for approval by David Spencer and approved for membership.  The PR committee is busy working on a new club brochure.  It will be a combination of ideas from the class projects.  The committee hopes to have it ready in August.  Kathy Eskew and Lesa Finch will be joining the program committee.  This will give us four members on this committee.  Other committee duties was discussed.   We hope to have updated committee assignments in the near future.
