There was considerable discussion on the date and location for the 2006 reunion. 3 possible sites have been suggested and will all be researched for date availability, prices and facilities for presentation at the 9 August meeting. Possible sites include:

(2) Elks Club
(3) Robbinsdale Casino

Dates in consideration included 23-24-25 June and 26-27-28 August 2006.
