2.  Club Website – Mike reported that the hosting agency was destroyed in the recent Vernonia flood.  He has reestablished the site so it is running now, but still needs work.  We hope future use of the site will include the regularly posting of club meeting minutes and a club newsletter.

          who is home during the day.
