Temporary Meeting location Change

We don’t usually have a January meeting buy we are going to have a meeting in Idaho falls January 7^th at Papa Tom’s pizza. The February 17^th meeting will be at Joe Kremer’s house in Pocatello. March will be back to normal I hope. Melina’s has no Beer so we need to find a new meeting place.

At the last meeting this evening, it was decided that all the people nominated for the board of directors would be accepted onto the board, so no need to vote for only two of the 4 people nominated.
