NEXT MEETING

 

At the next meeting Joe Nock (with the help of his son, John) will present Colleen Aguiar from the Butte County Farm Bureau.  Since there were millions in damages to Butte County agriculture due to the recent storms, Colleen is a timely speaker.

 

 

 

REPORTS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS:

 

CRAB FEED

 

 

 

Chris Hatch reported that plans are well under way.  The crab is still in the Pacific Ocean, but they are planning to be here by January 26th, the day of the Crab Feed.

 

Steve Greenwood has distributed 4 tickets to all members.  Each of you are responsible for those tickets and will be billed for them.  Steve reported that he had about 125-130 tickets left to be sold.  Call him for more tickets to sell.  We need to sell them all. 

 

Glenn Pulliam is preparing the work schedule and will have it at the next meeting.  Because this will be the last meeting before the Crab Feed, there will be a short meeting following the next meeting to go over the work schedule and the operation of the Crab Feed.

 

CLUB BYLAWS

 

K. R. Robertson asks that you get your comments to him about the Bylaws he distributed in December, which you have, I am sure, reviewed as he asked.  We will eventually discuss them.  We cannot find the Bylaws for the Club and need to adopt new ones.
