I. Minutes: The July minutes were approved.
II. Treasurer’s Report (Marty): Marty is doing the Treasurer’s report in a new way on the “old school ledger” the old school ledger lists all of the group contributions and all of the expenses. Marty contacted the bank because the address is listed in Mobile Alabama from the previous treasurer. He has asked them to change it to the PO Box but it has not been done yet. We talked about money for funding to the area assembly in Tonopah. $50 from the district $75 from SAGs and $50 from the area. Marty has a problem with all of the adds that are coming in the PO Box; Jake will contact the postal service to stop this.
