Introduction of New and Prospective Members: Ellie Johnson thanked Lin Hoernke for her service this summer and then introduced our visitors. Attending were: Gary Lowers, who is rejoining our club, Mike Groves and Ralph Terry, who are joining tonight, Joyce Colucci, Victor Rodriquez, Lucia Gonzales, Marc Mercury, Katie Haddad, Fadi Darwiche, Johnny Gilbert, F. Gregory Whiteman, and Judy Thomas. Statements for the annual dues have been sent out.

Benita led a discussion to decide on a new meeting place. Lennard gave a synopsis of the process which included forming a committee to look for a new venue. Rex, Greg and Annolua were primarily the people who took the time and trouble to look for us. They looked at about 15 different places and it was narrowed down to 2 contenders based on availability, finances, food, drinks and parking. Calico Jacks was the other contender, but at the last minute they were not able to accommodate us. A lot of pain and energy went into selecting the options, as the LVH is only able to accommodate us in their Star Trek room now. The Stallion Mountain Club is happy to have us here. They have extended their happy hour menu for us and we can have the room for a year, with the exception of next month when a wedding was previously scheduled and will we be able to meet in the restaurant. Kathy Clapp motioned we have our meetings here, the second Thursday of each month for the next year. Sharron Grodzinsky seconded the motion and it passed.

We are in need of a nomination committee for the 2013 E-board. Sally McVane volunteered to head the committee with Rich McSimov as co-chair.
