Update on the lodge:  The Texas Hold ‘Em tournament went well for those that attended.  All countertops have been installed.  J. Walker was requested to contact JMS Mechanical to check and service the air conditioning unit as needed.  M. Mohre volunteered to bring hamburgers to the June meeting for a cookout.  We still need help mowing this year.  Budweiser donated several items to us. Several members asked were the stage was with no answer being given.  Members advised that it was decided to keep the stage even after a member resigned due to it and at very least, a notice should have been left by whoever removed it from the premises.

There being no further business, motion by J. Arnold, 2nd by J. Snivley to adjourn.  Motion passed after voice vote.

Secretary, FOP 181
