Moving Meeting: Mark Weaver stated that it was becoming ineffective having the meetings at Sal’s Italian Restaurant due to the commotion going around the meeting. The Chamber would like to thank Sal’s for giving us room to hold meetings, but now due to the increasing size of attendance, it is necessary to find a larger meeting area. Don Smith said that we could go back to using City Hall and would insure that it was available to the Chamber. Motion was made by Mark Weaver and Seconded by Sandy Cross to reconvene meetings in the Odenville City Hall.
