Also in attendance were Her Hoppe, Kevin Krantz, Lisa Hebert, Steve Pettyjohn, and Gary DiLillo.

from 0% to 3%. Move $10,000 to Vanguard Explorer, VINEX, increasing International position from 9% to 12%.
Terri moved and Joe H. seconded that the adoption by the committee be approved.
During discussion, Pat asked why we were only increasing Real Estate to 3%, rather than the 4% minimum that is the required minimum. Joe stated that due to the volatility in the commercial real estate market, now was not the time to be heavy in that sector. President Maver called the vote and motion passed
unanimously.
