The meeting was called to order at 8:10pm. A moment of silence was shared by all for Alan Shepard’s mother for her recent and sudden passing. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Alan and his family during these tough times ahead. Would like to say thanks to all the Board members for decorating the JOSFC! The next Board Member meeting will be January 2nd at Cracker Barrel off of I-95 & JTB.
