Roger Schamp opened the program with the Treasurer’s report by Chris Kilgore. Club revenues and expenses were reviewed, with projections over the coming year compared among various venues for our permanent meeting site.
 
Then there was a discussion by most of the attending members of the possible venues, comparing potential costs and features (location, food service, room size and flexibility, accessibility, parking, and wine sales for cost support).
 
After much discussion, a vote was called for. Although none of the potential choices had all of the desired features, a strong majority of the members voted in favor of Rolling Hills Country Club. Many members were previously familiar with this venue, including make-ups with the Lomita-Torrance Airport Rotary Club that formerly met there. Several members indicated preference for another choice, and pointed out that the attendance was smaller this week and some absentees may also have other preferences. This difficult decision was not taken lightly, but we need to settle on a choice and make future plans and publicize our choice.
