PRESIDENT'S STATEMENT
First of all, I want to thank you for
electing me president. I will do my best
for the club. However, I can't do that
alone.
To put a different spin on a famous
phrase made by President Kennedy,
"Ask not what our club can do for you.
Ask what you can do for our club." For
those of you who have been on the board

and on committees, I thank you most
kindly. For the rest of you, I ask that
you become more involved in our club.
I do not mean by just attending meetings
and hunts. I would like each of you to
bring fresh ideas to our meetings ranging
from new places to hunt, hunting
seminars, guest speakers, etc. Think
outside the box.
Our club has had many new
members join recently. At our last
meeting, some of them suggested new
ideas. Let's keep the creativity going so
that we can anticipate new things, as
well as our standard fare. Our club will
then grow because we will have more
interesting things going on. As we grow,
there will again be new ideas suggested a domino effect. There are many metal
detecting clubs out there. We need to
make ours unique. Already, we have a
film company interested in filming us not some other club.
As all of you know, the focus of our
club is to promote metal detecting,
educate the uninformed, be good
Samaritans and to promote fellowship. I
know that each of you adheres to these
goals. Keep it up.
I am here for each of you. If you
need assistance with anything, have a
suggestion, or even have a problem that
you feel you can't discuss with anyone
else, I am available at any time to lend
an ear.
Again, thank you for your vote of
confidence in me. I won't let you down.
Thank you., Frank Nash, President

room for February. We will be able to use either this
room or the auditorium for future meetings with approval
by the Directors of the Science Museum.
Challenge Levels are still in effect. There are five
levels, and each level has a list of items to be found,
verified by the Hunt Master, Linda Bennett. Like a
scavenger hunt only done by individuals. See any officer
