December 2013 Meeting Minutes

I am sending this to everyone the club has an address for. PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THERE IS A SCHEDULING CHANGE. MEETING DATES ARE NO LONGER LOCKED INTO THE SECOND MONDAY OF THE MONTH. Next meeting is scheduled for JANUARY 8th, 2014 the Wednesday before our introduction to beekeeping class on Saturday the 11th. Also be aware that Congressmen Sam Graves has been invited to attend this meeting though I have not heard anything from him accepting or rejecting the invitation.  

Keith Dougan opened the meeting by giving a presentation on a couple of candy bards. We moved along quickly to our major event, electing new officers. Kent Brown moved that we retain the same officers but Keith said he is having trouble fitting it into his schedule on the dates as it is scheduled now. He asked if we could change the date. Dorene Claybaker definitely agreed. Byron Miller also brought up the idea of moving leadership around in the group so that it did not continuously rest on Keith. The other officers thought this was a good idea.

It was settled that the next meeting would be at 7:00 p.m. on January 8 at the Votech building in Maryville. That is a Wednesday. Meeting dates may float throughout the week now, including weekends.

Byron posed a question on water usage in your sugar water, better to use distilled water or hard water? Different members weighed in with different ideas. Byron also brought up the need for an amplifier for
meetings and that it really would have helped us at the American Royal show. Tom Kenny agreed to look into that and get some pricing for the next meeting.

Meeting adjourned at 9:00 p.m.
