Announcements:

Today’s meeting was a review of the attendance requirements for being a member of the club. There have been some glaring violations that would seem to indicate a lack of the full understanding of what the Prospectors Association membership is for and how it benefits each member. The board is welcoming comments from each of our members. If you were unable to attend today, or simply have any questions, please reach out to one of our board members.

Guests: Jim Martin, America 2000, brought Alex Renfrow to breakfast this morning. Alex will attend the meeting when Jim is unable to attend.

We have one opportunity to speak on 12/16, if you are interested, please use the SIGN UP TO SPEAK link in the drop-down menu.

We are sad to announce that today was Dr. Tidswell’s, My Eye Doctor, last day. Jeff, we will miss seeing you and wish you a happy retirement!

Let’s grow! If you know someone who owns a business whose category is not currently represented in the group, invite them to breakfast. We are always looking for best in class companies who would be an asset to the group.
