Hayden Church ask about the money that was taken by the governor of North Carolina. He was told the amount was approximately $ 850,000,000.00 . He advised that we should consider putting adds in local news papers all over the state complaining about the money being taken. He stated we need to find a way to get the money back because that helps with our education programs.

Ruth agreed that we need to have periodical press releases about the issue. Hayden stated it would be a good time since this is election year.

Larry wanted to let everyone know about the educational conference. This is one of the largest we have taken on. We feel the members will gain a wealth of information. He stated he will be glad to learn more info on computers than just how to turn them on.

Ruth advised we have the annual meeting coming up in January and in order to get the best price on motel room we need to book the meeting far in advance. She has visited the Adams Mark Hotel which has been changed to the Twin City Quarters. She also visited the Embassy Suites and the Marriott. She is working very hard to get the best rates on rooms.
