New Business:
It was a fine dinner! Special Thanks to everyone who brought those delicious potluck offerings. Also to the volunteers who cooked up the gravy, the ham, and the mashed potatoes. It was delightful to get together with friends, and catch up on how they are doing; and see some of the gold harvested last season and share the goings on in our local gold fields. I even chuckled at some new jokes and saw some new propecting tools being used with success.A honorary membership and shield was presented to Brenda Morrison .
