1.  President Dave Morrissette:

a. The convention is going well for the most part. Looks like it will break model and attendance records.

c. Jack Kennedy suggested some sort of incentive to boost membership.

2.  First Vice President  John Noack:

a. There were some issues with registration and judging at the convention. Do we need a better registration system. John Noack wondered if we could set up some sort of bar code system.
