MOTION: Bill Duncan moved to accept the report
Gerry Doubleday seconded and the motion carried.
Gerry Doubleday reported that the treasury currently holds ~$2297 not including the Miss II ~$200 asset We missed to motion acceptance, though it was clear that all were satisfied with the current status.
Bill Duncan reported that he had reviewed both AMA and Club safety documentation and found them to be current and consistent. As well, Bill proposed making the keys for the refrigerator and toilet more accessible by placing them near the charging station. Bill also provided a gallon can with sand should anyone experience a battery catastrophe, and enabled easier feedback by the general membership with a suggestion box.
A. Bob Wilson solicited comment on the costs and next order commitment for the Club Logo T-shirts.
Gerry Doubleday moved that we set the cost at $8 for child sizes and $12 for adults and that 20 shirts be committed with the prior order size distribution.
Bill Schadt seconded and the motion carried.
B. Charlie Berry agreed to investigate what other shirt colors, styles and costs may be. This information will be distributed to the General Membership via email when available.

C. Gerry Doubleday moved that the Club compensate Greg Doster with a year free membership in return for his being our Event Coordinator and organize food and refreshments.
Bruce Herman seconded and the motion carried.
D. As Gerry Doubleday is officially "part time" in NC with a majority of time in SC, he asked if he and Charlie Berry could exchange roles as Treasurer duties could be more easily executed by remote control.

As there were no objections he will investigate cost and availability for likely email motion.

None present felt they had sufficient skill nor time available to help organize an official competition.
