Old Business: None

Dave: As Lillian is not here the only thing left is there any new business?

New Business:

• Mary: As the old server was having issues with the emails (and other things) - the 'awards@boxerclubofcanada.com' address especially was an issue,  a new domain name was set up for the awards (boxerclubawards.com) and a new email address - 'applications@boxerclubawards.com' as people were trying to send applications and they were not being received by the committee.
• Shirley & I worked to get the domain moved so that it could reside on a new server.  We did not think it would go as quickly as it did. As it is now working I have set up the awards@boxerclubofcanada email again. You can use either one to send in your applications. the new address ' applications@boxerclubawards.com' will not be renewed next year.
• The website has been moved to a new server.  As I am trying to only put up files that are current there will be some links or pages that may not work until I find them all.  If you find any let me know so I can fix it.
• As the Members Only section has had to be rebuilt it will take a bit of time to add all the usernames & passwords (there are over 100).  If you can't get in let me know and I will set you up right away.
• Dave: Thank you for putting the time into this

Dave: I would like to thank everyone for taking time to attend the meeting.
I move the meeting be adjourned and everyone have a good night.
Cindy: 2nd

Meeting adjourned at 8:28 p.m.
