He was asked if there was room for RV s, he said not really, but maybe a small trailer or too could park along the roadside next to his lot. There s some room above by his new garage for maybe a tent or two. There was no follow-up discussion on options for more club projects. New Business: We had our auction, but not too many people brought anything, so it was short and sweet. Meeting was adjourned. Respectfully submitted by: 2
