report was submitted. A yearly budget needs to be prepared each year for the
first Board meeting. Letters requesting yearly dues will be sent out
immediately via regular mail.

Patrol” was given by Suzanne Adams and Tim Triggs. She expressed pleasure
about the number of interested volunteers who wish to be trained (17). A
meeting was held to review and revise the proposed power point
presentation. A handbook/training manual will be the printed version of the
presentation (11 pages). To summarize:
