    The board members need to review the by-laws and submit any changes to Phyllis before she submits them to national.

    The board discussed the local chapter dues and raised the question if they should be increased. At the present we are breaking even, however, the board will also investigate other places on pricing for the chapter meetings.

    Board members are investigating places to have the December social.

    The 2008 board was again discussed.

    National has requested a list of our chapter’s members, which will be submitted.

    Curtis announced Shannon Valentine would like to visit one of our chapter meetings. She would like to speak for five minutes. August is difficult for the legislators so we should move the legislative meeting to September.
