James Hornbuckle welcomed everyone and called the meeting to order.
Phil Carter led us in prayer.
Sad news – James Hornbuckle noted that past president TH Turner and Daniel Morgan had passed.
Shane Bates read Article 2.
Minutes were presented printed and posted on the website. Mike McAlpine made a motion to accept as published. Wes Patterson 2nd. Vote – Minutes accepted as published.
Financial Report presented. Opened Regions account. Add Emily Hoskins to account in addition to James Hornbuckle. Both will have signer access and either can modify account, signers or close account as needed without the other being present. PNC Bank since Compass merged, has been horrible to deal with and James Hornbuckle has authority to close account without any other signer present. It was noted that old signers were still listed on the account after multiple trips to PNC/Compass to get this taken care of. This account will be closed after the weekend of the BHA State Championship and Board Meeting being held on August 27-28, 2022. Motion to accept Mike McAlpine – Wes Patterson 2nd. Financial report and changes accepted.
