After discussion, the financial statement was unanimously approved.

	Thereafter, various committee reports were made.  Mike Heusenkveld reported
on behalf of the Grounds and Greens Committee.  He reported that some of the equipment

eligible to purchase unlimited range balls for $100.00.  She reported that we have spent a 
considerable sum for dishwasher and fryer repairs.  She is currently working on the 
occupancy permit.  The well test was satisfactory.  She is working on proper inventory 
techniques for the bar/restaurant.  She stated that she would like to buy a hotdog machine, 
a nacho cheese machine, and a couple of crockpots.  She was authorized by the Board to
