President David called on Past President Rick Barrigar to preside over this portion of the meeting. Rick Barrigar gave a brief synopsis of his year referring to the President's Report in the front of the Annual Report. Rick reiterated that membership is holding its own at 215 which is considerable, since many clubs are decreasing in numbers. He also noted that we were able to reduce our budgeted deficit for 2002-03 because of our Board being proactive and the decision to curtail spending as of June. This hold prompted some new ideas for fundraising coming from the members and the Ways and Means Committee is now working on some of these ideas for 2003-04. Important developments occurred thanks to Jamie Johnson and the Strategic Planning Committee, and we will continue with these plans for the new year.
