The Association is still maintaining a web site. Ross Stevens, the webmaster, was not present at the meeting nor had he submitted an invoice. Tom Perry or Don Bussiere will contact him to find out what the annual costs are for the year. A motion was made by Don Bussiere and seconded by Ed Jachimski to pay the website costs. Motion carried.
 

There was a lot of discussion about the Camp Grayling monument, where the money came from to pay for it, and the fact that the paint was fading on the flags engraved on the monument. It was suggested that we have the flag colors repainted. It was further suggested that we check with the vendor, Patten Monuments, and see if the painting could be covered as a warranty issue. A motion was made by Gene LaRochelle and seconded by Hank Ilenich to check with the vendor to see if the repainting could be done as a warranty repair. If not a warranty issue, authorize the executive committee in coordination with CSM Floriano to pay the costs of repainting. Motion carried.
 

A motion was made by Steve Rose and seconded by Ed Jachimski to nominate the 1437^th Engineer Company in Sault Ste Marie to host the 2007 reunion. Motion carried.
 

A motion was made by Tom Perry and seconded by Dick Oja to have the reunion dates be 20-22 July 2007. Motion carried.

The following slate of officers was presented for approval. Motion made by Gene LaRochelle and seconded by Steve Rose to approve the slate as presented. Motion carried.
 

It was suggested that a committee be set up to manage the memorabilia, i.e. hats, license plates, coffee cups, etc., that the Association sells at the reunions. Don Bussiere and Tom Perry volunteered to serve as the committee. They will have new trinkets, etc. ready for sale at the Soo reunion. They will also work with the webmaster to see about getting the trinkets listed on the website so we can sell them via the internet also.
 

There was some discussion about who receives the Bull Sheet in the mail each year. Secretary Tom Perry explained that he uses a database of names developed over the years using reunion attendees and those paying annual dues. It was also noted that the Bull Sheet is posted to the Association website. SSG(ret) Dennis Cummings said that he and his wife would pay the extra postage costs to have the Bull Sheet mailed to every active Soldier in the Battalion. The Association members accepted his offer with a round of applause and may thanks. The Secretary will coordinate with the armory NCOICs for mailing addresses of the Soldiers.
 

There was the usual grumbling about the loud music last night (Friday) at the social. Some people didn't like it, but others did. As is usual every year, there was no resolution to the issue.
