Old
Business: Discussion regarding item presented by Eddie

tune of $1000 to go to the 2006 Olympics.

could afford to pay. Some members felt
it would be a great thing for FarWest Masters to support someone going to the
Olympics. After more discussion, a
motion was made by Linda Crowell to give $500 to Ara and Pierre to support them
at the Olympics. Motion was denied by a
count of 3 to 2. An article will appear

contribute to do so.
