Web site upgrade: 
The free hosting service we have now is being terminated at the end of March. We have to switch to something else or loose our host by March 28th. Melissa Berschens suggested that we spend the money to have it hosted somewhere so we do not risk losing our site. A motion was made to keep the site up and allow Melissa Berschens to find a new host and spend up to $30 per month to keep it up. There motion was passed. Melissa will have an update next month on the new host and any details. This will not change anything with our domain name... we have paid for that for 2 years and have one more to go before we need to renew the name. Dana Klamecki thanked Melissa Berschens for the great job on the website and continued support to keep it current. The club all appreciates the hard work.
