The seminar cost is $150, sign up is full presently but a waiting list has been started. Neil Ward provided JEFF with a possible phone number where Rich may be reached.
3. Clarification- JEFF discovered that after last year's carving show a check was written from the general account to pay for Randy and Pat Moore's accommodations.

The amount of $456.51 will be transferred from that account back to the general account. Information provided, no action needed!
