A discussion was initiated regarding club treasury funds in that the account balance seems to remain well above current operating expenses. Options could include reducing annual dues or investing a significant portion for future needs. General discussion considered investment as a prudent option in case the club has to pay for future field access. This topic was tabled for further analysis and discussion.
The meeting was adjourned at about 10:40 AM.
