Tinker talked about the four year plan of our Chapter giving $2000.00 over a four year period as
discussed by the Board at the last Board Meeting. Dick Forster said the IHC Trust would not
give any money for the first year. As everything is on hold until a new Superintendent is

new Superintendent is selected. The motion was seconded by Eddie Bartley and approved.
Dick Forster said to keep documentation on money spent on the mower as it would be
reimbursed by the IHC.
