    5. OLD BUSINESS OR OPEN ISSUES
    6. Proposal to remove the Chairman of the Board position was made at last month’s meeting. Mike Chesser explained the reasons the Chairman of the Board position was created and why it’s not needed. Per the Club Bylaws, a Chairman of the Board is not required. The Board has the ability to operate without a Chairman. The proposal was voted on and passed. The decision was made to drop the required members for the Board to 9.

      The Club Christmas Party was held this past Saturday, thank you to Debbie and Dan Allen for all the food preparations. We have the "O" Club reserved at NAS for next year’s Christmas party.

    7. NEW BUSINESS
    8. The Club’s ASA membership is up for renewal. Mike Shea asked for volunteers from club members to join ASA. The Club needs 10 individual memberships which will be purchased up front by the club. Currently, 8 memberships have been sold already. The additional memberships needed were purchased by Club members at this meeting. The Club saved $2,000 on Liability insurance last year for being members of ASA. The ASA qualifier that was held at our Club last year was a success. There will be an ASA qualifier held at our Club this year. Also, requested an ASA State Championship be held at our Club.

      The ASA added two new targets this year. The Club would like to purchase both targets. Mike Shea volunteered to go to Pro Am tournament in March to pick up the targets. Motion was made to purchase new ASA targets; motion voted on and passed.

      The IBO Club membership will also be up for renewal soon. Butch will be checking into that.
