In the absence of Secretary Pat Schlegel, President Villwock referred members to the Chapter 7

website to read the posted minutes.

Account. Mark asked that all bills should be turned into him. Neil Rissler moved and George

Scherb seconded the motion to approve the report, and it was passed.

$20 going to the National Chapter and $10 stays with our chapter. He also reported that if he

has cell numbers, he can notify members by text.

Mark Dieckman gave the Chapter Table report. He brought some items along in case anyone

needed anything for a Christmas present. Mark reported that he has 150 patches for hats. He

also has some blank canes, about 200+/-, and is looking for someone to engrave them with

engraved before Christmas.
