OLD BUSINESS: Included talk about the roof being done, it's 15 year warranty and the $16,250 cost. Another point raised was the forthcoming Borough Building Inspector's letter which definitely will include a request to construct internal firewalls (to the dismay of many brothers) in the upstairs hallways 

Br. Perkins discussed the "523 Fund" and it's planned method of attack for obtaining even more funds. This included a major letter and a phone-a-thon to take place before the Founder's Day meeting. Many interesting letters have been coming in telling of past glory days. 

NEW BUSINESS: Br. Cadzow discussed the upcoming Regional at West Chester, the National Convention to be held in Atlanta, and the past CLC II in Columbus. He also reviewed the Field Rep's report and it's favorable contents. 

Br. Wszalek appointed a nomination committee consisting of Brothers Todd Fortier, Gary Hicks and Tom Butch. 

General discussion about Stewart Howe and their escalating costs was made. Br. Wszalek felt that we should get rid of them since it is getting too expensive. Br, Perkins warned everyone that we'd better be very organized before dropping them in favor of an alumni run Omegaphone. 

Br. Howard Alter suggested that Br. Hicks should be appointed permanent omegaphone editor. It was decided that Br. Hicks shall prepare a report for the Founder's Day meeting. 

Respectfully submitted, 

Huqh D. Cadzow '83
