As I promised, I will little by little report on the Board's meetings this weekend. We ratifed the Rules Committee. The members of the Rules Committee are Member at Large - Guy Smith; Greaet Pepper - Preston Shaw; Director - Bucky Seelig, and the Ed and Vice President which is myself and Bill Pierson.

We approved the National Open CCO. It will be held on August 9 at Buda, TX. Larry Burruss is the contact for this event.

We approve the use of the Ranch for the Mas O Menos 100 Bike Race which will be held on February 12 - 14. They have rented the Ranch for several years for this event. Renting the Ranch helps with the upkeep of the Ranch.

We approved the request to have a Massachusetts State Open. This is the first year for this event which will be heldin Middlefield, Massachusetts on August 15.

We acknowledge that two of our Directors are not going rerun for office at the Great Pepper's Meeting. Bucky Seelig and Ken Rodd have announced that they are leaving the board after this term. We are going to miss both of them. They have made a large contribution to CASI. We will miss their talents.

Bill Pierson has announced his intention to run again for the CASI Board of Directors.

John Goforth announced that at the present time CASI has 915 Annual Members, 494 Life Members, and 42 Corporate Members which is a total of 1451. This is down from last year which was 1493.

Congratulations to Barbara Herrin. We elected Barbara Herrin to be the Scholarship Program Administer for the next year.

Enough information for today. There will be more tomorrow.
