Rev Smith and Rev Powell will lead Senior Conference, July 12-16. Cost will also be planned to remain as last year, $180 for early registration by June 14 and $200 per camper after that date. All dates and plans will be contingent on no government restrictions still being in place that would prohibit conduct of our conferences.

Chairman Wongler introduced the membership in attendance to our newest member, Rev Billy Holder. Some discussion was held about the effects of last year’s Corona Virus on our memberships and how it might affect this year’s BMA activities.

After a brief time of fellowship, Rev Owens moved that we adjourn the meeting. Rev Frye seconded the motion and all approved.
