GTOAA Convention in 2025: Ted Knapp talked to Tom Oxler from GTOAA about our club hosting the national convention in 2025. Tom gave Ted the requirements they are looking for and they talked about various venues and locations. GTOAA has retained a firm to locate potential venues and cities that meet their needs. Spokane was mentioned, however, Ted reiterated that support from our club would be difficult due to the distance. GTOAA needs approximately 35 volunteers from the local club to help during the event, and free passes to the convention would be available. This year’s national convention resulted in about $3000 – $4000 to the local club.

2022 Officer Elections – Nominations are open for President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer. Wally nominated the current slate of officers and they all accepted. A revision to the Bylaws was proposed by the Board and will be voted on by the members at the November meeting. This change will move the election to the November meeting instead of having it during the Awards Banquet/Christmas party. It was felt that it was difficult to hold the election during the party and that the party should concentrate on being a social event.

50/50 RAFFLE: The raffle was won by David Gale. He donated his portion back to the club.
