Old Business
Don Kemp, treasurer, presented the financial report. Bill Robison moved, seconded by Mack Burt, that the report be approved. The motion passed unanimously.
Lake chairman, Dr. Bill Cobb presented the lake report. He reported that the fish are slightly larger than last year in the big lake, about the same in the small lake. He also noted that it was difficult to present accurate reports since so many people fail to record their catches.
James Miller moved that bass with a length of less than 15Ó or about one pound be kept and that larger bass be released. The motion was seconded by Tom Roberts. Large fish which the member wishes to keep for mounting may be kept. The motion passed unanimously.
House chairman, Charles Robinson reported that the house is in good shape, as good as it has been since he has been a member. Charles recommended that a hood be installed above the stove, vented through the roof. Robinson also said that he would like to schedule a work day for members to clean the house.
