            Tom Baisden

 

The meeting was called to order by the President at 4:05 p.m.  On the topic of order, a discussion of pizza ensued.  No pizzas were ordered because every Member selfishly insisted that any pizza he or she ordered should go to himself or herself.

Treasurer’s Report – there is no annual Treasurer’s Report.  There will be one when the IRS form is filed in May 2015.

 

President’s Report – there is no annual President’s Report.

 

The Annual Meeting of Members was adjourned at 4:14 p.m..

            Carol noted that Ann Haglund has been elected a Trustee and although unable to             participate in this meeting, has offered to undertake responsibilities.  Carol assigned            her the task of thinking about pizzas.  Nobody seemed to be listening so nobody     objected.
