The secretary read the e-mail from Myra Metcalf who attended Nationals last July. There was no report from the fall meeting as neither delegate was here to report nor were minutes available, as the National Secretary had not sent them out yet. Julie talked to Deana via phone and she said we should have them in time for our Spring Meeting but that one rule change is $10.00 for grievance. She said to please remind everyone:
Nationals’ dates are June 20 through June 25, 2004 at the Complex in Gillette, WY.
Club dues are $25.00 and State Dues are $50.00.
Needs names of Presidents & Secretaries ASAP.
