Treasury Report: Dallas Stratton said all bills are paid and we are solvent.

Old Business: A discussion was continued on retired members and their dues. A motion was placed on the floor that this chapter would pay the dues for retired members that have occupied an office either locally or nationally and are attending at least 50% of the meetings. The motion was seconded and accepted.

John Griffin brought in a copy of a portion of a dwelling to continue the discussion on smoke detectors. The portion in question was the sitting area in the Master bedroom. It was agreed that if this were a portion of the room none would be required.

New Business: Harold Law with the City of Sanibel is looking for some help. They need three temporary contract inspectors to work in the building department.

David Chamberlain with Fox-Rowden-McBrayer, Inc. gave a presentation on Cadweld items and their usage. It was an interesting and informative presentation showing us how a Cadweld works and what to look for in a good weld and in a bad weld. All present were given a card signifying we have been trained to make Cadweld connections. He also presented the new generation of Cadweld called Cadweld plus.


Joff Filion pulled Philip Dunnington’s name from the hat for the 50/50 draw. Lucky Philip.
