TREASURER’S REPORT: Jerry Kay reported we have $7,258 in the association fund. All clubs are now paid (44 clubs).
SECRETARY’S REPORT: Gary thought it was an errorless minute report last month, until Earl Strickland raised his hand. It seems the contribution last month to the scholarship fund was by the membership of the Country Club of Orange Park, not the Men’s Assoc. Thank you, Earl!!!

Lee Crowe reported on the upcoming 2-man at San Jose.
Joe said we still need more volunteers for the Junior Tournament at Eagle Landing, August 9th and 10th.
Joe explained the reason the board’s vote to raise the maximum quota to 46 points. As he said, it’s all relative.
Pat Caffrey asked that when we sign up for golf, please include your handicap index so he won’t have to look it up.
VICE PRES. OF ADMINISTRATION: Bob Streightiff reminded us of next month’s meeting at Queen’s Harbour on July 13th. He also talked about the possibility of having meetings in the afternoon and golf in the a.m., just in the summer time. Possibility for next summer.
WEBMASTER’S REPORT: Barney reminded us that it is a rule that if you play golf you must attend meeting. Barney said the entry form on the web site will look a little different next month, due to using PayPal.
SCHOLARSHIP COMMITTEE: Tom asked if there were any more scholarship applications, since today is the deadline.
Bob Streightiff presented a check for $1,000 to the scholarship fund from Queen’s Harbour Men’s Golf Assn.
OLD BUSINESS: Pres. Jim explained the PayPal credit card issue and the 6 point motion that was accepted by the Board of Directors. The use of PayPal is scheduled to begin next month.
NEW BUSINESS: Fred Seely said his group will start up a new golf publication soon. More information to follow. The name will be “Golf Jacksonville, Plus”. Early Sept. is their target start up date. It will cover not only golf; but, other sports as well.
Pres. Jim said he, Lee Crowe and Jim Andrews are the nominating board for new officers and to let him know of anyone interested in becoming an officer.
GUEST SPEAKER: Fred Seely introduced Cole Pepper, our guest speaker. Cole is the studio host for Jaguars Radio. Cole said he is now working full time for the Jaguars. He discussed season ticket holders, saying the Jaguars are more aggressive this year in their marketing, and are striving to give more value. He also discussed the possibility of the team leaving our area, saying it would be worse for Jacksonville if the team left than if they had never been here. “People are showing by increased ticket sales that these are vital times. Do we want to keep the team here?”
Cole opened up the meeting to a Q and A period. Questions varied from discussing players pay to better half time shows.
MEETING ADJOURNED: Gavel struck at 11:35 a.m.
PAIRINGS COORDINATOR: Pat Caffrey said the game would be better today, with an improvement in the handicap situation.
