more people between 12 and 2. The new shirts will be delivered on the 30th.
Plan to wear yours on the first meeting in June.
There was a board meeting last night. The main
topic of conversation was the Camp. The board brought a report to the
club that most of the money allocated for the camp has been spent. Only
$3404 of the $24000 budgeted remains. There was a motion today to take
the $4200 which was non-refundable deposits into income and spend it on
the camp. After an emotional discussion the motion carried.
Let’s all plan to be here next week.
