Non Resident Member Program - Chris Somers Somers requested
the Board to consider a reduction in dues and to waive the food and beverage
minimum spending for members who temporarily move out of the area but wish
to retain their membership. Somers presented a list of some NEB club's that
offer this type of program to their members. The Board respectfully declined
his request. Due to Somers paying in full the 1998 Building Fund assessment,

carried.
