January Meeting
The Treasurers report:
The Treasurer's report was read as to the expenditures for the past month.
The Treasurer stated that he had the flyers for the mailing printed and that we have an unedited list of 400+ that we would mail to.
The Secretary's report:
We received a letter back from the town of Wareham giving us approval to use Onset Beach for our hunt again this year.
The Secretary suggested that in the future due to a late start in the mailing; letters, fliers, and contacting officials for approval and publications for free ads could be done in a more timely manner that we get a committee formed for the next years Hunt. It appeared all agreed.
During the break everyone present helped get the flyers, labeled and sealed for mailing.
The Presidents report:
It was suggested because of these economic times to lower the price of this year's Open Hunt from $90.00 back to the price we had a couple of year's ago to $75.00. This was done in hopes of attracting more people to participate in this year's hunt. This was voted and accepted by the members.
The President stated the he would send several local and other clubs that he knew of the flyers and info of the Hunt.
A discussion about the changes in prizes ensued about there being more prizes by lowering a couple of lager amounts and making more smaller ones.
Floor discussions from the membership:
A suggestion was made and discussed that the club purchase a metal detector and have an open demo/instruction, on the use of the machine, to get more interest in the club and treasure hunting. The participants would compete to win the detector. It was determined that more discussion was need at future meetings.
