Answer:  Update the Club version to the newer Explorer. The Club Web site will have to update soon, but until then all members must be aware that the #7 version will not work with our Web Site. There was a comment from the floor that a member had downloaded the new version and then had to reformat their machine. Be careful of your auto updates.  Bobbi Jo Brandiberry made a motion to allow Bob Arnold to update the Club Web site as needed. The motion was seconded by Swannie Swanson. There was a unanimous vote of “YES”.  With this comment and vote, Bob Arnold asked for a volunteer to help as a Web Site “back up” to fill Tom Staggs position. Jack Messemer volunteered.
