    Secretary read last meetings' minutes. A motion was made to accept minutes as read. Motion was accepted. Treasurer read the financial report. A motion was made to accept the report. Motion was accepted. No correspondence was received. Pam Hockett from the Historical Society came to the outing and spoke to the club. Tons of interesting and colorful mining history about the area was shared. Thank you Pam for your time and effort!

    OLD BUSINESS: Chip Lansberry reported to the club that he heard back from Representative Blake. He is planning on coming to our August club meeting. Chip shared his efforts trying to get a hold of a human being at the National Archives, he got quite the run around. He'll keep working on it and will report back.

    Glenn Lansberry Sr. reminded the club of the Green River Walk happening August 19th-20th. If you would be willing to volunteer a little time and help out, please get a hold of a board member and we'll pass your information along to him. Glenn can give you a rundown on campgrounds and hotels/motels in the area that would be best.
