The Silver Ravens Wrestling Club of Warren is interested in having a beach wrestling day in Lexington that would have matches for age groups from youth to adult.  Carol called Robert and they are sending more information. 

There was discussion on putting an ad in the Oakland Press.  Peggy is finding interest in Lexington from people of the Troy area.  She will explore pricing and report back at the next meeting.

Peggy suggested that a board member be present at each of the village council meetings so that we can better stay abreast of village issues -  More discussion to follow. 

Phil made a motion that a stipend be given to our president,

Secretary, and treasurer.  The motion was tabled until the next meeting.

Meeting adjourned at 4:30 P.M.

Respectfully submitted,

Betty Harvey, Secretary
