5. OPEN FOR DISCUSSION. The floor was then opened for general discussion.

Lance Gilliam pointed out that USAR needed $2,000 to replace their obsolete computers and that USAR had helped TXRA obtain its laptop and that USAR had waived some its requirements allowing TXRA to receive last year’s rebates.

Upon motion duly made and seconded, the recommendation to donate $1,000 to be used to purchase computers for USAR was unanimously approved.
