10. Adjournment: Meeting was adjourned at 10:10 AM.

11. Addendum to the minutes: The board met after the meeting and the decision was made to keep things as is for now with no change in prices and no changes in dues. If what money is received doesn’t add up to $50.00 each week, the treasury will make up the difference by check. Carol will report monthly on how this is working out and the issue will be revisited at a later date if need be.
