Waz brought the meeting to order.

Treasurer’s Report – Phil Ward

• Treasurer's Report - Our revenues were off a bit from the 2006 Rally, so we used some of our reserves to cover this years Rally. We have t-shirts on hand, so if you are interested contact Waz at rickwazz@comcast.net or call him at 763-374-1011.

 Membership Report – John Jones

• 2007 Membership - John Jones - 301 N Main St, Le Sueur MN 56058-4361 is our membership chairman (email). John reported membership was at 132.

  At the September meeting it was decided that anyone that pays dues after Jan 1 will get credit for that new year even though our membership runs from Mar 1 to Mar 1.

  At the September meeting it was also decided to change our membership to a family membership. That means anyone in the immediate family can participate in the Chapter activities. There will be only one vote with each membership. So for example, if a spouse also wants to vote, she/he will be required to pay dues to be a voting member.

  2007 Membership Gift - The license plate frames were mailed out. Some members received empty envelopes. If you are one of these people, Randy will be mailing your License Plate frame out soon. If you want to purchase additional license plate frames they are available from Waz. Contact Waz at rickwazz@comcast.net  or call him at 763-374-1011. The cost is $5 for each addition frame, which includes mailing.
