The Board of Directors will discuss further which subject to pick for our annual Kellow seminar. A request was given to find out what subject Wes Taylor can talk to us about. Most everyone knows of him and feels he will present a great subject.

Meeting location next year will be held at a non-wholesales location for the first one half year to see if we can increase attendance at our meetings. If we feel we have not increased attendance at the meetings we will take another hard look at meeting locations fo the second half of the year.

Any member in good standing wishing to represent our chapter at the National meeting should submit there name to the board for consideration.
