Darwin Avery has reserved it.  Joe Zamiski conducted the annual audit with the help of Treasurer Chuck Dorey. Joe noted we spent more than we took in, mostly on onetime expenditures. As compared with our first annual audit by James Kaphingst, Joe suggested reasons for increasing our dues. It was stated we currently have 48 members. Dave Strohmeyer motioned to raise dues to $25.00/year for adults and  $10.00/year for children under 16 to keep up with rising costs and to prepare for the unforeseen. After much discussion, motion was approved. Members and the By Laws committee called for an amendment under Dues and Membership Article 9 Sections 3 and 4. The By Laws committee will review this amendment and present their recommendations for approval at the December meeting.
