Old business:  Char Bucher announced problems with the room we are presently having our meetings in, especially with regards to seminar space.  She strongly suggested we all be looking for an alternate space.  Marlene reported on the Life Center.  They will start charging and no food will be allowed due to liability.  Pat Greene said we no longer pay national liability.  Char announced most board members will be returning depending on the distance to the meeting place.
