Karen Browning said that she has the club's equipment, including a tent, stored
in a barn. We can sell what we
don't need. Fred Heltsley is

2015 is the Club's 30th anniversary and talk was made about restaurants and
costs for meals at this celebration in the Fall.
Paul Fulks proposed that we combine this event with the Christmas party
and eliminate door prizes to cut
down on the expenses. The American
Legion and the AEDC Officers' Club were mentioned.
We will plan more on this as the year progresses.
