Mitch King lead everyone in the Pledge of Allegiance.  The minutes were read.

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.

Skip 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.
