The Board agreed that today's 46th Annual Meeting with our keynote speaker, Bradley Gillilan, was a very profitable time and generated much interest and many questions.

Next year's event may provide us with another industry representative teaching us the latest information available on proper tubing techniques.

It was stated that today attendance for our Annual Meeting was 203. This was a very good turnout. Seven new members were added, as well.

A motion was made by Dale Forrester and moved along by Fred Bates to reserve the Doherty Hotel once again for next years 47th Annual Meeting.

With all business attended to, a motion was made by Tom Cook to adjourn at 4:00 PM. Seconded by Fred Bates. All approved.

Respectfully Submitted,

Tim Boonstra, Secretary
