New Business:
George Baker recommended that a Golden Boy be assigned to each newcomer to the association, to serve sort of as a “big brother” contact to explain how the organization works and perhaps enhance their early days as members. This will be discussed at the next Board meeting.

Bob Galloway requested that a plan be put in place to prioritize handling the alternates in the interclub selections.

Motion made to adjourn by George Baker and seconded. Adjourned at 8:55.
