Paul thanked the current board members for their active participation in the last year.  He also thanked Tom McCalden, the unit’s webmaster, for maintaining the unit website listing upcoming events, calendars and contact information for the club.  He reported the successful four sections and a number of unit games and a member appreciation game.  Paul and his wife Joyce visited and played at most of the club games this year.  His intention is to visit the club games he missed in 2012. 

Unit 364 added a new club game in Crested Butte which is called CB Summer which is held from May until early October.   Paul reported that Unit 364 has 391 members as of October, 2012.   The Unit has received a grant of $500 to assist in membership recruitment.
