PRESIDENT'S REPORT
The ArkGeo Board has been very busy this quarter holding four meet & greet type events, one of which was a Creation Celebration Event, and two CITO events.
We have worked closely with the Election Committee and have successfully concluded another election schedule, electing 4 new board members.
We have also worked with the Events Committee in preparation for the annual ArkGeo Event.
The Board was thrilled that ArkGeo was honored to receive one Adventure Lab from Geocaching HQ and happily developed 10 Lab Caches in and around Little Rock.
There have been two new registered voting members added this past quarter.
