Meeting Report

January 10, 2004

At 12:10 Maggie Westall started our meeting by going around the room and having everyone introduce themselves. It took quite a while as there were many new faces in the room. Irene Dean collected dues in Kay's place. Yearly dues of $20.00 are now due for 2004.

Next on the agenda was to have everyone show their fish challenge. Some very interesting, beautiful and cute fish had their picture taken by Irene.
