• Gary Meredith’s Memorial Service was discussed. The service is at 1:00 p.m. on Thursday, 8/17.

Game times will be 8:30, 10:00 and 11:30.

• Seeding the outfields was discussed. This should be accomplished this fall.
• Possible changes to the By-Laws were discussed. At least two will be presented at the next Board of Directors meeting.
