1. Show Coordinator Reed presented the plan for the Fairhope layout and discussed possible modifications at the show. We will not know our room position or size until we arrive at the show. Ron requested space which will allow for a 16x20 ft layout with the rope line around it. If we get more space we can enlarge a bit.

2. Bill noted that he is willing to serve as treasurer if Dennis wishes to step down. A letter of resignation from Dennis that must be accepted by the membership is a prerequisite to Bill taking over. Bill or any other candidate can then be elected to fill the Treasurer vacancy.

3. Web Master banks noted that he has changed the address of our web page to phomrc.com

4. Banks noted that Anderson connectors to replace the Cinch-Jones plugs on the modules are $0.60 each. We will need 2 to replace each Cinch-Jones plug or eight per module table at $4.80 per module table. There are 37.5 tables x 8 connectors per table = 300 connectors x $0.60 each = $180.00. I (DRO) suggest we get 340 connectors at $0.60 so we have a few extras ($204.00). Eighty five should be yellow, red, white and black each. Additional plugs (40) in two other colors should be ordered for tables needing extra connections ($24.00) for a total of $228.00.

a. Each member is responsible for purchasing the needed connectors for his table(s) from the Club at cost and installing them.

b. The Club will be responsible for installing new connectors on the corners, Duke’s, bridge and yard tables.

                                                1) Banks will order the Anderson connectors for the Club.
