6. Old Business: Chapter sponsored one day watch and clock show. Dave Graley identified

the Jamil Temple in Columbia as good site with plenty of chairs and tables, offered for

$800 plus required insurance for $195 - Dave offered to donate funds for the insurance.

He has already paid a refundable $400 downpayment to hold the room while we

consider it.

William McCoy noted that this would basically be a “mini regional mart” and would

need all chapter members involvement for advertising and to solicit vendors. This would

also require an extended commitment from the all the membership. The $400

downpayment is nonrefundable after seven more days;

Dave planned to email the entire membership requesting their vote on the proposal.
