Old Business:
Geoff Haines, N1GY brought up the fact that we do not have the CD that contains the policy manual and bylaws We think Frank, KB2BE has it as he was the last one to do an update, Bob Somerville, KD4EFT has the Policy Book and he will transfer it from Mac to MS and if he can get the Bylaws he would send them out, the final decision was to put them on the web site under the restricted area so only members could look at them. This was put on hold until Jerry Johnson, AE4XW returns.

Club shirts were all distributed. Money for the shirts has been deposited in the bank account with the exception of $29.92 which will be collected at the June 3, 2008 meeting. Reorders for shirts has been changed from 24 to 6, making it a lot easier to place orders for new members.

Dave Thomas, N9FOZ motioned:
Since we are always having our board meetings at Geoff Haines, N1GY house the club should reimburse him for his expenses of over the past year. Since this was to be shared among the board members and he has taken this task of opening his home to us to use every month that a onetime reimbursement of $50.00 be made to cover cost of refreshments and treats.This motion was 2 nd by Frank Morton, AC4MK and all were in favor.
