MFJ 259-- Does anyone know where unit is located? Records show that was checked out, but person who checked it out said he turned it back in.

Honorary membership—does Cliff qualify? He says not qualified. Doc Cunningham? Not member for 10 years. Discussion, wait until 10 year member. Table until facts checked.

Thumb Drive—Bill Maynard why don't we donate to each new member a thumb drive that has so much information thereon. 5 people on the net right now do not have a drive. Doc suggests that we inventory what is on the drive and add to it depending on the room available—maybe some of the programs we have had this year that have been recorded. We may only have 5 left now—should we get some new ones? Bill, Doc, and Jerry will investigate and report next business meeting.
