President Ted Farah then discussed the latest happenings for ESON and some very exciting future opportunities. This was followed by the Show and Tell Segment featuring Mark Pasek's patented LiftAlone that is now entering the marketplace. The idea behind the LiftAlone came from canopies attached to the sides of racecar trailers. Mark demonstrated his product how one person can do the lifting of many to all society members (see pictures of meeting). Comments and discussion followed by various members. The meeting then was moved to discussions in the various areas by the founding board members. Adjournment at 8:30pm.
