The 2006 Budget

reported and discussed at a future meeting.

across Highway 114. The Super 8 charges $75 per meeting, so the move would result in a
savings to the club.

Divisional Newsletter received positive feedback.
This could result in a net 50% savings to the club in lieu of the
current Round-Up Newsletter. Robert Vick also reported that he brought it to the attention of

driver’s school this year.
