    PRESIDENT'S REPORT

    The Arkgeo Board has been fairly quiet this quarter.

    ArkGeo Board Members have held one event this quarter, a Meet & Greet in Fordyce with several local cachers attending. It was a fun event in a great location and I appreciate plsellers for hosting.

    I do have, what I believe to be, one exciting bit of news. Later in this meeting we will discuss the possibility of placing ArkGeo Adventure Caches.

    There has been no new voting member added to our membership list this quarter.

    I apologize that the minutes have a BOLD print from "Keeping the Website Current" till the end where I signed my name. The minutes were not written up this way, but despite editing the forum post three times, I can't get the Bold print to go away.....
