OLD BUSINESS

1. Lynne stated holding the fall Sectional at Pelican Landing should be explored. Distance is too far for some of our members who live in the Western area of our Unit.

Walter will ask Pat LaCerva, Jane Moore-Baker, Joan Hart and Lynne to check into holding a Section in the Waveland, Bay St. Louis and Diamondhead area. Jane feels this would not be feasible due to lace of member participation.

NEW BUSINESS:

1. The 2004 199\'er Tournament will be chaired by Frank Battaile. The tournament will be held the first weekend in March. The Comfort Inn will be the host hotel. Diane was able to negotiate good rates for the tournament.
