APPROVAL OF MINUTES: The minutes of the September 21, 2006 meeting of the Board were unanimously approved.

TREASURER REPORT: The Unit’s expenses exceeded cash income in September by $552.59. This is a result of timing of deposits and payments and a large expense of $669.58 to upgrade to a new computer for the Clubhouse. Year to date, net income is $18,335.77, which is still ahead of last year in an amount that approximates the increase in interest income. Rent for the Tuesday night game is now current.

EDUCATION COMMITTEE:

1. Dave Shuster gave the report for the committee, stating that plans are moving ahead for beginning and intermediate classes to begin early next year. Several items need to be finalized, most important, selecting presenters. The committee is asking for anyone interested in presenting to please contact Byron Steinert.

2. Paul Boyd reported that he has finalized the phone survey and is waiting for input from his committee.

CLUBHOUSE:

1. The current cleaning service was discussed and it was decided that additional bids should be received prior to making a decision to add additional days to the cleaning schedule.

2. The need to have the carpet cleaned prior to the Sectional was discussed and it was decided that bids should be requested for a spot cleaning prior and a full cleaning after the Sectional.

3. It was reported that there are times when the air conditioner is left running overnight. Directors who have the last game of the day/night are asked to turn the air conditioner and/or heater off when they leave the clubhouse.

NOMINATION COMMITTEE: Judy Nicholson reported that there will be five Board positions open by the end of the year and she currently has five members interested in running. Nominations will remain open until November 15, 2006. Any other names of nominees should be placed in the box provided at the clubhouse.

NEW BUSINESS:

1. Mary Lou DaCosta reported that all sanctions for 2007 have been ordered.

2. Kay Chrisman presented a proposal to purchase A T & T High Speed Internet service for the clubhouse computer. The Internet access speed would be at least 200 times faster than the current dial-up service. The one-time cost for the modem would be $12.95 after the mail in rebate of $49.99, with no cost for installation. The monthly service fee is $21.99, which is only $12.99 more each month than the Unit is paying for Netscape dial-up service. After a first and second, the Board unanimously approved the purchase.

THE NEXT REGULARLY SCHEDULED BOARD MEETING WILL BE SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 2006 AT APPROXIMATELY 4:45 P.M.

THERE BEING NO FURTHER BUSINESS TO DISCUSS, THE BOARD MEETING WAS ADJOURNED AT 6:45 P.M.
