Officer Reports:

President Bruce Gruenbaum:

Container: Bruce and Mobile Storage Group (MSG) agreed that MSG will replace container in place. MSG was informed about low bridge clearance early on.  On Aug 10th, several members showed up to clean out the container. Mobile Storage Group (MSG) could not get truck with container under the bridge. MSG will continue to bill us. Bill received last week.  We will write MSG to inform them that we do not intend to pay and to come get their container.  MSG offered to sell us existing container for $1000.  We offered $600.  David Beach recommended consulting a lawyer.  Joe Marrone mentioned that a former club member was a lawyer (Shane McCoughlin (sp?)).  He will try to contact.  We still have $2200 bank check for container replacement.  Club will search records for original contract with MSG
