Motion to accept as new members made by Morris Busbia and seconded by Don Mills and the motion passed. Transfer application from Bob Schroeter was considered next. Don Mills noted that this transfer had been brought up before and that the membership had voted to bar Bob Schroeter for even applying for membership forever. 1st Vice Roy Havekost made a motion to table the application until a later date, but the Commander stated that it was not legal to bar application forever and asked for a motion to approve acceptance of the transfer. Motion by  Chuck Kees and seconded by Jim Ross and the motion carried. (It was later determined after the commander contacted the Department Judge Advocate, that a motion to repeal the prior motion to prevent application must first be repealed before a new application for transfer can be considered, so the motion to accept Bob Schroeter is null and void.)
