Frank submitted a budget proposal for the membership committee with two 
(2) options, option one is for a picture membership card, option 2 is 
for a membership card and ID tag, after discussion the board voted $140 
to fund option 2 immediately as it was determined to be a very hot item 
for many members and was long overdue.  Frank also discussed the paying 
of dues, he believes that one due date for all is the better way to go, 
Bill stated that he thinks the way it is now is better and has no 
problem with that system.

A review of last years budget showed that allocation vs actual expense 
the Club was $2792 over budget, planning figures for 2003 were discussed

will be made to balance the budget this next fiscal year.
