Comment

A joke master is not requested for the Board of Directors meeting.  However, at this meeting, the directors were privileged to hear the first public performance of the new Bill and Bernie Comedy Team discuss building insulation contractors and the directors almost fell off their chairs in laughter.  The directors wish these two multi-faceted directors with success in their bright future career.

 

The meeting adjourned at 11:45 AM.

 

Respectfully submitted,

Fred Willis, Secretary
