The membership was asked to consider running for an officer position for the coming year.
Election of officers for 2008 will be held at the November meeting.
 
We had a very interesting speaker.  His name is Doug Pope.  He is an investor in the Polly L treasure ship.  Where land ends and adventure begins.  Mr. Pope said to go to the Mel Fisher Treasure Museum to see the artifacts and the cleaning process of the Amelia Island project.  It is in the back and if they know you are serious will take you to the lab. The treasure ship legs are 60 feet tall.  The pads are 6’ x 10’.  It can travel at 60 miles per hour.  The motors cost $25,000.00 each.

Jim Stewart told about a hunt he did in SC.  He also gave another clue for the token hunt. 
 
The Christmas party was discussed.  Jim asked Mary to make reservations at Marsh Landing in Fellsmere for a Friday or Saturday evening, whichever is available.  She will advise the Club of the reservations at the October meeting.
