President’s Report - Chuck Horner: Chuck’s church is going to have an evening vacation Bible school the first week of August. The only concern is that the parking lot may be more full than usual.

Secretary - Bayle Emlein: Bayle will miss the June Main meeting.
VP Clubhouse - Sid Jordan: Sid brought in a $100 donation and two renewals. The Clubhouse staff thinks that the paper version of the newsletter has become outdated. Diane suggested seeking advice from other groups at the Southwest Computer Conference. Diane will put a survey on the website and attendees at the Main Meeting will be polled also. Chuck will have a conversation with Chris, our printer, about actual costs and cost break points. Elsie reported that Chris is interested in addressing the EC about printing costs.
Elsie does not want to have the Newsletter be any longer than it currently is. Diane is planning to explore using a Facebook group as a way of exchanging information in a timely manner.
Bob Sorensen wants to remind everyone that donations to the Clubhouse and/or PCC are tax deductable since we are a 501 (c) (3) corporation.
The Clubhouse will be open every Saturday in June.
