Chairman, Frank Boumphrey, started the meeting by suggesting we follow an  
agenda previously posted and all agreed.  E-mail correspondence from 
Peter Georgiady dated  9/11/2007 and Paul Deitz dated 9/11/2007 were acknowledged. 
All the following agenda items relate to the  Composite Model II 
Constitution as discussed at the 9/4/2007 meeting.

#	Name - After a brief discussion, all agreed that the name of the 
organization to be referenced in the new constitution would be 
'The Society of Hickory Golfers'.

#	Mission Statement - A short discussion followed regarding certain 
revisions to the Mission Statement after which the Chair asked 
Matt Dobbs to prepare revised language for consideration and action 
at our next meeting.

#	Aims and Objectives - A very lively, animated yet courteous 
discussion ensued with respect to certain subsections under 
Aims and Objectives, particularly iii, v and vi.  After receiving 
input from all committee members and considering other outside views, 
expressed either in writing or verbally to members of the committee, 
the Chair asked Barry Markowitz to prepare revised language for 
consideration and action at our next meeting.

#	Membership - Following a discussion, focusing particularly on 
classes of membership, the Chair asked Roger Hill to prepare revised 
language for consideration and action at our next meeting.

#	Board -  The committee undertook a discussion of qualifications 
for board members considering geographical location, membership 
make-up and potential growth of the organization and well as the 
number of board members to be required.  A straw vote indicated 
that 9 board members seemed to be acceptable.  Matt Dobbs and 
Barry Markowitz were asked to prepare revised language for consideration 
and action at our next meeting.

The meeting was adjourned at 9:32 P.M.
