Directors. The nominees were:

Additional nominations from attendees were requested. Frank Scheer was added. A vote of
members attending the meeting approved the nominations by acclamation. Robert Moore had
three proxies from Shawn and Rebecca Pickrell plus Kent Womack which were voted in favor of
the directors slate.
The newly-elected Directors will hold their annual meeting during January 2018. At the
meeting, Directors will determine which will fill the two-each one-year, two-year, and three-
year terms. They will also vote on who will fill the President, Vice-President, Secretary, and
Treasurer positions. One person may fill two offices, such as Vice President and Secretary. The
interim Board of Directors and Officers will complete their role as organizing officials on April
30th and be replaced by the 2018 officers on May 1st. The 2018 officers will hold their offices
