V. DISPOSITION OF TREASURY FUNDS
A discussion took place about using some of the funds to benefit the membership.
a) New burgees for the membership.
A recommendation to change the club burgee to reflect the direction the club is going was discussed and to supply each member with the new burgee. The Commodore said that he had investigated and found that he could buy burgees for $15.00 a piece.
b) Membership cards.
A quote of $900.00 to supply each member with a new membership card was considered cost prohibitive.
No action was taken on these proposals.
