President Paul Danik called the meeting to order at 7:35 p.m., due to an
earlier Committee meeting, (to work on details for our celebration). The
minutes of the May meeting were read and James Borer made a motion to accept
them as read and Alan Buehner seconded the motion that carried. Doug Wilford
was on vacation but had prepared the membership report that was given by
Paul Busick that showed that we had 1 new member, 4 renewals, 1 being for 2
years and 1 being for 3 years. Fourteen members were moved to the expired
list, leaving 428 active members. A. Buehner gave the Treasurers as of
5/31/08. There was no Web-site report due to Bill Smith being absent. Alan
stated that the Summer Newsletter, along with DVD #3 of “At Home with John
Penton” will be mailed next week. Pres. Danik suggested that the deadline
for articles to be received for the Fall letter be moved up enough so that
the final details for the 40/10 Celebration will get to members several days
before the event. Jack Penton gave a summary of the Comm. meeting held
earlier, stating that the banquet hall has been reserved and that several
other items have been taken care of and that the Comm. will soon be
