Meeting called to order at about 7:45 PM by Bob Pollock, President, at the Holy Cross Church.

July meeting consisted of pizza for all, bought with club funds, followed by the annual Koi auction.

Bob mentioned to members about the issue of trying to recoup the money for t-shirts was never printed for the club. A case was opened at small claims court to see if we can recover the money.

Mary Bucher gave treasure report to members. Checking account had an end balance of $3706.84 and savings account balance was $3934.52 for a club total of $7641.36. The books were available for club members to view.

Jenny Larson gave a status briefing for the upcoming pond tour. She was looking for several volunteers to help pass out pond tour packets at Wasson High School.

Bob opened bidding with a request that all “open their wallets.” Following were Koi from Koi Lagoon in Fort Collins. All were Japanese Koi, of a variety of colors, types and sizes. Lucky bidders who obtained fish were encouraged, as with any new addition, to quarantine with diligence.
