Fundraising Committee needs ideas!
Prez Val Namen and David Miller are heading up our club's Fundraising Committee.  Please let them know if you have any fundraising ideas and/or would like to join their committee!
Something new to meetings
The board would like to have local businesses present a 3 minute introduction to their company at each meeting.
Please let Dave Hanson know if you have someone and he'll add them to the meeting schedule.
One 3 minute presentation at each meeting would be the goal.
Thanks in advance.
