PRESIDENT'S REPORT 

Hello Everyone!

I hope everyone is enjoying your summer. Don't forget Sue's house July 30th 1:00 - ? for our annual cookout. There will be entertainment coming at approximately 2:00 Bruce from Alley 54 will be present with his daughter showing us a great time with bubbles. I can't wait, I love bubbles, I always carry them. They are also in my car. It's great during a traffic jam start blowing bubbles out your window and watch everyone faces look puzzled. Try it. Ok. Just a reminder a copy of the motion for a Cori check was sent out to all members Via US mail. This motion has also been in the last two newsletters. We will vote on it on July 30th at 1:30pm .
If you are going to Mr. Rainbow workshop in Sept. Granite State needs you to go to their website and sign up. This is an event that has been paid for all members of haps alley to attend that have been in good standing as of March 2006. If you plan to attend please notify Granite State Clowns ASAP so that they may continue to plan for the event. Operation home coming at Pease Air Force Base in Portsmouth NH  Aug 5th are looking for a few good clowns to help entertain (Since this was not voted on it is not an Alley event) this would be a great chance to volunteer and help out any questions please see or call Pam Bridge I know she has volunteered in the pass and is willing to help out this year.

A Motion was made to vote and change the by-law on membership. It was motioned that all members be CORI checked.  A motion was made that the alley would pay for a one time CORI check for all members of Hap's Alley that have been in good standing with the club and have been a paid member as of March 2006.  A motion was made that that any new member being brought into the club be Cori checked at their own expense as well as be accepted by the general membership.  This has been posted in the June 2006 and July 2006 newsletters.  A vote on this motion will take place at our July meeting that will take place at  Sue Wolfendale home on July 30th.  General meeting will take place at 1:30pm .  Please be Present so that you may voice your opinion on this motion.  This is your club.
