New Business:
When the high winds came thru San Diego around the middle of December, our field was hit by very severe high winds that cause extensive damage to the awnings and scattered almost everything around the field. People are needed for a working party on Saturday mornings to help rebuild the awnings and any thing else that has to be done. Most of the carpet will need to be replaced and if anyone knows where we can get some good used carpet, please call one of the board members. The club is going to buy a Generator and other items that are needed to restore the damaged things at the field.
