Mitch King talked about the upcoming beach hunt at Golden Sands.  Everybody was reminded that the hunt is for members only and they are to bring a covered dish to share and the hunt will cost $5.00.

 

There will be prizes. The top prize will be an eight reale with a Certificate of Authenticity.

 

Everybody should be at Golden Sands at 9:00 a.m.  The hunt will start at 10:00 a.m.

 

Mitch said he was working on the new web site.  The new club website address will be:  www.tcas.us 
as soon as the domain name is purchased.  The cost of purchasing the domain for ten years is about $200.  The cost of the hosting server site is about $10.00 per month.

 

 The new site should be active by the end of June and most files transferred by July 1. Once the new site is active, Mitch will not add any updates to the old site. Our new web address will be posted on the old site and it will stay active until Yahoo, Inc. shuts it down.
