meeting place will cost, if we increase the monthly fun hunt amounts

June Fun Hunt:

We had 20 members participate in the hunt. The weather was perfect and everyone enjoyed the hunt.

July Hunt

The July Hunt will take place in Erieau on Saturday, 18 July 9:00 am to 12:00

Future Hunts

The Fall Hunt is scheduled for the 26 Sept.

The joint hunt with the London club to be held in Port Stanley, is tentatively scheduled for 3 October, 2015.

Radio World is looking into holding a hunt in Toronto on the 19 September. As more information comes

forward it will be passed on.

Grand Bend

The cottage rents for $600 and is available the weekend of 11 to 13 September. The cottage will accommodate

about 14 people. We had 8 people committed to go, if anyone else would like to go, please contact Julie. It was

also decided if not enough of our members commit to the weekend we will invite people from the London club

to join us. It was agreed to let Julie book the cottage and pay the $120 deposit.

Meeting Place

We are still trying to find a new meeting place. We are asking all members to reach out to their contacts to see if

they can find something suitable for the club to meet. Our guest, Bob offered to reach out to a local service club

to see if we could rent their space at a reasonable price.

Guest Speakers

We are looking for suggestions for guest speakers to give a presentation at the meetings.

Constitution and By-Law Review

This was reviewed and amendments were made to several sections and updated. Greg will email a copy to

everyone.

Hunting Sites

Julie reports that she is filling her money jar, by going to Tecumseh Park after the Wednesday night concerts.

Coin News

The mint will be putting $5.00 coins into circulation starting in 2017, this will make hunting a little more

profitable.

There are counterfeit toonies from Quebec in circulation, the operation has been shut down, but these coins may

become valuable in the future.

The mint is also doing a metal recovery program and as such are melting down more coins for their base metals.

Membership List

It was agreed to send everyone a list of members and their contact information.
