into this.
Other suggestions were to have Al Conkle come out for
Allison, a health division class, air brakes, 1911 class,
management classes, elkhart brass, powerstroke.
OLD BUSINESS: none
NEW BUSINESS:
The board discussed the possibility of moving the school to
the D.P.S.S.T. facility this year. After much discussion it
was decided to stay at the Marion County Training Center.
Much of the decision came from concern of a dress code, the
vendor show having to be off site, dorm room issues, meal
card issues, and tight site security vs. the cost savings
of the facility.
Rick showed a cartoon picture sent from Dave Clark for the
cup picture for next year and it was approved for the cup.
Bo showed some work he has been working on for a future cup
or shirt pictures, he will continue working on this.
GOOD OF THE ORDER: Art Blaisdell reported that he has had a
couple of failures of the metal pipe nipple coming from the
tank to the pump, possibly due to the lack of anodes.
MEETING ADJOURNED: 3:30 p.m.
Next Meeting: November 3rd, to be announced, offered at
Sandy or
