REPORTS OF COMMITTEES/COMMUNICATIONS – The trailer committee (committee members present included Larry Landweer, Dan Jenkins and Eddie Hogue) reported on their January 5^th meeting. They presented cash flow projections showing a need for additional financing if we’re to complete the trailer purchase and get at least one set of crates. We need to either assess or borrow from Concourse members to complete this purchase without coming up short financially on seasonal expenses. Fred Rocha made a motion, seconded by Ross Massey, to order the 104 crate trailer from Davis Welding and pay the 50% deposit now. The motion passed with a unanimous vote. Members are to go back to their clubs and consider the several options discussed for raising the funds necessary to buy the two sets of crates needed to make the whole deal efficient. A motion was made by Howard Wicks, seconded by Ross to order one crate from LaPhew in Oklahoma to be used as a prototype. The motion passed. Eddie Hogue will follow this.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS – The Awards Banquet will be held at the Sizzlers in Riverside again on February 16^th at 12:00. A motion was made by Rollie, seconded by Carol Jacobs, to again pay for member meals. The motion failed.

NEW BUSINESS – Steve Whitmer made a motion, seconded by Fred Rocha, to raise the per bird shipping fee to $1.10 to pay for higher gas prices. The motion passed unanimously.

Member dues are $6 and juniors are $3 and payable now. Get your dues and rosters into Larry as soon as possible. See you all at the Awards Banquet in February. Please give expected member and guest numbers to Martha Delgado at least by February 8^th for planning purposes.

The meeting adjourned at 1135 hours. Next meeting is not scheduled yet.

Respectfully submitted by Larry Landweer, Secretary/Treasurer
