PROGRAMS REPORT: Jim Gates was absent, but reports were made on the following programs: West Coast Dinner. Wayne Kauffman stated we exceeded the number of tables this year at the WCD. There was a good show of military, and Admiral Ellis’ speech was great. We over exceeded our drink budget on the Thursday night Board of Directors Reception, more people showed up than expected. At the general reception we exceeded the drink budget by 25%. We were under on everything else. Five hundred sixty people showed, but we are only being billed for 545. Need to start thinking about next year’s speaker. The date of the dinner was a problem with some executives. Also need to make sure next years WCD does not compete with the AFA dinner in CO. Executive Associates Breakfasts. Nancy FitzGerald commented on the Executive Breakfast being held in June. It was brought to her attention that Mr. Teets will be out here April 25th, and maybe we should move the breakfast up. Golf, 2003.
