New Business
·
The Lions club
will not have a Flea Market in September this year thus the 65 Club is unable
to join the Lions Flea Market.
·
There was a suggestion
the 65 Club hold a yard sale or flea market at the clubhouse to replace the
Lions Flea Market. After considerable discussion this was rejected. There are too many problems for the club to successfully
hold one. Some of these issues were available
space, having enough members willing to spend the day there and removal of non
sold items. The club will investigate having a Flea Market in the spring.

The meeting adjourned
at 10:36 AM.
Respectfully submitted,
Fred
