John Wayne opened the floor to discuss the Food Committee and his concerns. The topic was discussed by many and John Wayne made a motion to dissolve the Food Committee and Buz seconded the motion it was voted on and passed by a vote of 7 in favor and 6 against. So the Food Committee is now dissolved.

Jim Brauch was not in attendance as he was celebrating his birthday so no PSA or ESSC Youth report.

Ben said that Derek Anderson of Screamin Reels Guide Service would be our October speaker and Toby Black would talk in November.

Our Christmas Party is scheduled for December 6th and the church has requested a walk thru to be scheduled. Henry is going to take care of the turkeys and hams and Buz is going to work on a phone list to call members for Pot Luck items for them to bring. Walt made a motion for $250 to be given to purchase the food, Kelli seconded it and it was voted on and passed. Buz offered to run the food committee for the party.

The next topic was the Election of Officers and Board Members. Ben supplied a list of Board Members and when the terms expire that will be put into the records. All officer positions are going to be vacant and volunteers are needed. Novembers General Meeting is the Smoked Salmon contest and it was discussed and decided that it will be the General Election as well.
