APPROVAL OF MINUTES: The minutes of the April 20, 2006 meeting of the Board were unanimously approved as written.

<>TREASURER REPORT: John Renna reported a $2,591.85cash profit for April 2006. Through April 30, net income has increased $798 over the same period in 2005. This increase is mainly attributable to a $757 increase in interest income for the period from January to April. As previously reported, in February 2006, Unit saving accounts, including the Club and Building Fund, were moved into higher earning Certificate of Deposit accounts. The Balance Sheet and Profit and Loss for the period from January through April 2006 was unanimously approved.

NEW MEMBER RECRUITMENT: Paul Boyd reported that the telephone survey project was still in the development stage, as some refinement is needed to match questions with the appropriate call lists. Paul passed out a sheet of “Guidelines for Bridge Survey & Recruitment Campaign”. It was agreed that the Board members would review the Guidelines at their leisure and be prepared for further discussion at the next Board meeting.
