President Adams called the meeting to order at 7:35. The minutes for the annual meeting on June 7 were

read and approved. The secretary read a thank you letter from Catholic Charities of Oneida and Madison

Counties for our covering the color printing cost of 300 certificates for use with the fishing program at

Camp Nazareth this summer. He also stated that, as of tonight, we have 534 members in good standing.

Along with the memberships, we have received $396 in single dollar donations for the New York State

Conservation Council as well as $1168 in contributions for our activities.

Treasurer Azzarito related financial activity since our last meeting and gave the current amount in our

accounts. His report was accepted.

Director Karen Marshll reported that the ladies' restroom renovation project was completed in three

and a half days. Thanks go to the club members who did the work and to member Bob Whitehead for a

major donation of lumber.

Three new type florescent bulbs have been installed in the back of the meeting room and seem to have

eliminated the problem with turning the lights on, at least in that location. It was moved, seconded and

approved to purchase sufficient bulbs to install throughout the clubhouse.

A problem with getting the field mowed was discussed. Jack has secured our mower but it is in need

of two tires and a tractor to pull it. The person who previously did the mowing is not able to do it at the

present time. We will try to find a new person to undertake this project.

Our new sign for the front of the building has arrived and will be installed in the near future.

White Otter member Mike Smith of Rome was approved to fill a vacant director position. Mr. Smith

has contributed considerable time and labor to club projects in recent years.

Those present were reminded that we have scheduled a work party on Saturday, July 13, starting at

noon. Among other things, items to be taken to the Town of Forestport Trash Day on July 20 will be

collected and prepared for transport.

The meeting was adjourned. Respectfully submitted,

Alan Woodruff, Secretary
