1:07 pm the meeting was called to order by Vice President  Charlene Roberts. 

There are no minutes from the July meeting as there was an Open House in lieu of a normal meeting.

TREASURER REPORT:  Submitted by Treasurer Joyce Mogytych and read into the record by Vice President Charlene Roberts in her absence.  Bob Bailey  moved to accept the report.  Marie Byatt seconds it.  All agreed and it was accepted.

OLD BUSINESS:
The July open house. It was well attended by the membership. Walter Sell from the FHS in Wausau  was our guest and he was kept busy the entire time from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm. We had one new member join. Further discussion will follow at a later time.

NEW BUSINESS:
Charlene Roberts announced that Joyce Mogytych will be stepping down as treasurer due to a serious knee injury. Outcome and treatment is yet uncertain.  She is expected to have a long recuperation time.  As of today she is one of the signatures on the bank account.  Debby Selman   is the second signature. It is urgent that we resolve this and obtain another person to be signature on the account. It must be determined today.

Also discussed was the necessity for a new treasurer to fill this position for the remainder of this term and one more year.  Bob Bailey  was suggested for the interim. Noreen Rossa suggested she could do it remotely.  Since Noreen is a part-time  resident. Marie Byatt  suggested  she can do the physical side of the job; getting the mail, making deposits, etc. Bob Bailey  moved to nominate Noreen Rossa as treasurer to replace Joyce Mogytych. The motion was seconded and the membership voted unanimously to do so.  The decision was also made to have three signatures on the bank account to avoid such a situation again in the future.  

Nancy Brewster  was nominated to be President and accepted.

Marie Byatt  agreed to become the Secretary. 
Noreen Rossa agreed to be the Treasurer. 
The membership voted unanimously to accept this slate of new officers and they were voted in. These persons take office effective as of this meeting , and will hold the office as shown below.

The above three officers were also chosen to have their signatures on the TLGS bank account at the BMO Harris Bank.  
Debby Selman's resignation as President  was accepted.  She will give post office box keys to Nancy Brewster.  Debby is moving to Indiana. We thank her for all her years of service to this organization . She will be missed for her hard work and dedication and as a friend.
