There were no changes to the minutes of the May 22nd meeting.
There were no additonal nominations for officers. Those present did not feel there was a need for an election offical. Due to the small number in attendance no election guidelines should be established. It was suggested that we send an e mail stating that we are still looking for a chapter vice-president.
The chapter bylaws have been sent to national headquarters. Nothing new to report.
Allen Bradley, hydro-meteorologist at the U of I expressed an interest in our meetings. He was given information on how to put himself on the e mail list.
The meeting adjourned at 8:35PM.
