Presidents Report

Amelia Boyd brought up the discussion regarding dispersement of the town report. Based on the uncertain release dates as well as the cost relative to return; the board decided not to be involved with this years delivery.  Paul indicated that the Bow Rotary seemed interested.

The board had a spirited discussion regarding adding additional language to the registration form to encourage on-time registration.  The wording would included…PLEASE NOTE:  All registrants will be place on a team.  Registrations received after (date) will require an additional $10.00 fee and every effort will be made to place the late registrant on a team if space is available.

The board approved this change.
