Members present: Jade Boggs, Karol Zachmann, Tammy O’Donnell, Dean Wang, Shanny Spang Gion, Alissa Miller, Trish Barth, Merri Beck
President Jade Boggs called the meeting to order.
Discussed handling delivery of food from local restaurants to fairgrounds during high school rodeo. Alissa will get menus from the restaurants to have at the fairgrounds and will do set hours. Jade and Tammy offered to help with deliveries. Dean wondered if that would be considered to be a vendor with the health board. Decided not to do goody bags this year.
Runnings had mailed Trish a membership check in February, so they are a paid member.
Karol checked on reserving the park for the meeting and they aren’t taking reservations, so we will just show up there and hope it’s available for our June meeting, June 10.
Compass Coffee is a non-profit and is looking for places to donate. They asked for suggestions of places to donate.
Scholarship winners were Mattie Mastel, O’Connell Qualley, Halle Burdick from Baker and Hanna and Heather LaBree from Ekalaka.
There haven’t been any Bingo winners yet.
Karol will order chicken from Reynolds for the June meeting. It has been moved to the 2nd week in June due to the high school rodeo.
Trish moved to adjourn the meeting. Tammy seconded. All in favor.
Meeting adjourned.
Next meeting will be June 10 at the city park with food catered by Reynolds.
