Richard asked the question, “How many people have been asked “What does
a metal detector find?” Duh!
The Boys and Girls Club will be given money to buy the shed they need in
which to store their athletic equipment. Mary McGee, Treasurer, will
inquire as to what size and the cost of the shed needed.
kip Huffsmith gave a talk about the effects of what the
millions of dollars beach replenishment project is doing to the life of the
ocean. Skip works on a salvage ship looking for 1715 ship wrecks.
Richard said he wants to have a club hunt. It’s been decided to
have a hunt at Wickham Park on September 16, 2006 at 9:00 a.m. It was
decided to have five hunts in different parts of the park rather than driving
to four other parks.
