and passed.
The old business of the 0900 hotline phone # was then brought forth.
Sharon stated that Steve S. has turned over all files into the hands of District
17. It had been agreed with GSR meeting (6/29/02) to have the billing file
turned over to District 17, in care of the Treasurer, Sharon. She further

past eight months. A motion was made and passed to pay Steve $175.02 for his
