4. It was moved, seconded and passed unanimously to renew the honorary memberships for Jim and Rennie Kirby, in appreciation of all of their efforts on behalf of the club.
5. The October Eboard meeting and installation of new officers will be held at Bernie and Lib Ann Cappelli's home in Orinda on Monday, October 20th. All Alacostans are welcome to attend.
6. There was discussion regarding whether Alacosta should be listed in the California Diving News Calendar of Club Activities, which requires a contact phone number. It was suggested that when a new Membership Coordinator is elected in October, that s/he should be asked whether they are willing to have their phone number listed as a contact number.

10. It was moved, seconded and passed to authorize Kevin Dalley to purchase additional gas cans for the club on Ebay, in order to be able to transfer unused gas to cans intended for storage.
11. Kevin D would like feedback on the design of the website; contact him.
12. There was discussion regarding the request of a 16 year old boy whose parents don't dive, to participate in club activities. The request was made by the boy's mother. It was agreed that he was welcome at club meetings, but that club by-laws required his parents or legal guardians to be present if he were to go on a club dive.

The executive board nominated people for the October election.
