OLD BUSINESS
  • Peanut Sales – It was discussed that we will ask the Aktion Club whether they might be interested in doing the peanut sales as a fundraiser.  Due to conflicts with current fundraisers, the board does not wish to pursue this.

  • Kiwanis Dues Increase – Kiwanis International has raised dues.  The budget committee will discuss whether we need to raise membership dues to cover this increase. 
NEW BUSINESS
  • Farmer’s Market – Kiwanis will serve at the Farmer’s Market on August 18th.  A sign-up sheet is going around and also we are being asked to provide bars. 
  • Budget Committee – Schwarzkopf asked for volunteers to be on the Budget Committee.  Due to his absence in September, he suggested we meet in August so the budget can be decided and approved prior to October 1st.
  • Dean Rogers asked if Kiwanis would be interested in grilling for his open house on Saturday, September 5th from 11-1 pm.  He is expecting around 150-250 people.
