Reading of Minutes:

The minutes of the February 1 board meeting were not available.

Treasurer's Report:

The Treasurer's Report was approved as submitted.  Treasurer Brian Blackwell also reported that nearly all active Wilde Bunchers are now current on their ASDC dues, so the club is no longer facing sanctions from that organization.
