LeAnn Zetmier introduced the committee heading up the Pancake Day Sponsorship promotion. The committee consists of LeAnn, Bob Colony, Kristin Winn, Amy Dyer, Jeff Freeland, Heidi Pankow, Stephanie Nye and Mark Relph. They have a goal of at least $25,000 in corporate sales. They are sending out letters this week to past corporate sponsors. The push is from now until April 30. If you know of someone to contact talk to the members of the committee and get the information to send them. If you sell a corporate sponsor you have completed your obligation to sell $80.00 worth of tickets. That does not, however, mean you should not try to sell other tickets.

Thanks to Heidi Waggoner for taking over the production of the monthly calendar. It was good to see a calendar today!
