General Notes:  

29 Members present and 2 guest present at start of meeting, 2 new members by the end of the meeting.  

TCAS received two thank you letters for our annual donations to local charities. The thank you letters were read by Dale Thesenvitz, TCAS Secretary. The first letter was from Candlelighters of Brevard, Inc. The second letter was from SOS Cookies and was delivered in person along with a bucket of "samples" that they send to our Troops overseas. See Attachments.  

We have two hunts left for this year.  

October 6th is the TCAS Multi-Park Hunt open to TCAS members only. Join us this Saturday at Wickham Park around 9:00 AM'ish. Basically, several parks are "seeded", instructions and time lines given and we are off for the hunt. Stay at one park or hit them all, it's up to you! Some of the finds that have won in the past were: Blue Tractor, Dog Tag, Dog Collar, Red Hat Pin. Good food will follow the hunt and then the prizes awarded.  

On November 3rd TCAS is hosting an Appreciation Hunt for the two clubs that heavily support our Annual Benefit Hunt.  

Much more information will be given on both these hunts at the meeting.  

Quest speakers are always welcome. Please, if anyone has any ideas or suggestions for a speaker, tell a TCAS Officer.
