Webpage – Nancy Oehlhof

Nancy will be looking into getting a secure web page in order for the membership to have access to club business communications.

Jim Hedgepath has informed Nancy that there would be a one time only fee of $25 to set up the firewall for our members only page.  This page would be accessible to members with use of the password.  We would be able to post all club business including minutes, financial statements, etc. behind this firewall and save the club the expense of copying and mailing these items.  Members wishing to continue to physically receive their copies rather than receiving them electronically can still do so by simply informing the secretary. We will try to have this ready to go by the November meeting.

A more complete report on exactly what will be in the basket will be given at the National. Thanks to EVERYONE who gave and supported the basket. It will be the Best In Show Basket due to some very generous club members and wonderful donations from several businesses.
