Blackshear Tournament
It was determined by a show of hands that 14 members would be staying in cabins at Blackshear and the cost for each member staying would be around $100.  Rick Johnson said he would collect from those who stayed in the cabins for the final cost of the rooms.

Roger asked if we could consider a two half-day tournament, but it was determined that such an arrangement would disenfranchise some members who could not participate.

Marty Spears was voted in as a member.

Dollar Pot was won by Jeff White.
