OLD BUSINESS
Tom Nute called the meeting to order at 5:30 pm. The May 20, 2009 minutes were approved and have been posted. Mary Hoger presented the treasurer’s report and it was approved.
The board voted to offer Keith McCall $50.00 for preempting his regular Saturday game for the 20 June 2009 Grand Opening to be held at the studio. Tom Nute will offer $50.00 to Keith McCall and inform Keith this is not a unit policy to pay for the use of the studio for unit sponsored games. The Standing Rules will be revised to state that any game held at the studio can be preempted for unit functions without offering payment to the owner of the game.
