Officers' Reports:
The secretary (RD White) read the minutes from the previous meeting on 2/4/06. Sam Stafford motioned to accept the minutes as read and that motion carried.  The Treasurer (Ruby Church) read the financial report of the club for the period of February '06 through April '06.  Joe Marschak motioned to accept the treasurer's report as read and that motion carried.  The Tournament Director (Sally Siegel) reported on Eastern National entries and recruited members for volunteer help to setup and run the tournament.  Concession and scorekeeping will be done by the Central High School Cross Country Team. Then the TD announced our new tournament in August... the Northwest Keystone Open. Fund raising report for the Eastern Nationals showed that we are near the breakeven point, but not quite there.  Two indoor tournaments remained unnamed and the club settled on Jerry Peck Memorial and Glen Sebring Memorial.

Old Business:
Dues increase discussion continued: Motion to lower dues from the proposed and accepted $140 to $125 by Ruby Church... due to further study revealing that $125.00 will cover the short fall.  Motion carried with a vote of 11 to 4 in favor.  Motion to raise regular club dues from $12.00 to $15.00 by Chuck Hewett, motion carried unanimously.

New Business:
Motion to open charter to new members by Joe Marshcak... motion carried.  The following eight people were nominated and accepted as new members by unanimous individual votes: Rick Carter, Willie Webster, Steve Smith, Nate Nunez, Jessica Lee, Tim Scott, Dana Maloney, Ted Grimm.

There was a discussion about changing the Eastern National format prior to next year's tournament... specifically the format and determination of the championship classes.  Even more specifically, the 30 ft. championship... top 24 is out of balance for that division compared to 40 ft. since there were less than 40 30 ft. entries this time.  Discussion will continue at subsequent meetings as old business and at tournament committee meetings until resolved.

There was a discussion and update on acquiring the vacant property adjacent to our Shunpike Rd. property... still need a petition of the neighbors and city council approval of the grant.  Chuck Hewett and Jim Sheridan volunteered for the petition committee.

Closing:
Jim Gilbo won the 50/50

Motion to adjourn the meeting by Joe Marschak at 3:27 PM... Motion carried.
