Secretary Michael Archer took the minutes which will be available to members at a later date.

Parting Thought: Sally Morch
A captain notices a light in the distance, on a collision course with his ship. He turns on his signal lamp and sends: 'Change your course, 10 degrees West"
The light signals back, "change yours, 10 degrees east"
The captain gets a little annoyed.he signals, "i'm a US navy Captain. You must change your
course , sir"
The light signals back, "I'm a Seaman First Class. You must change your courses, sir"
Now the Captain is mad. He signals, "i'm an aircraft carrier. I'm not changing my course"
The light signals back a final message, "I'm a lighthouse. Your call"
Moral: No matter how high a position you hold- Listen to Others.
