The electronics and appliances are difficult to dispose of. Kathy C. will do some advertising.
Secretary Election: Since there were no nominations at this meeting. Nanci proposed that this be done at the September Tea and hope someone comes forward. Lori agreed to remain in the office for the summer in order to provide an officer quorum.
September Membership Tea: There was no volunteers to organize this so it was decided to do it as a committee.
Wish List: Kathy P. proposed a new, small refrigerator be purchased for the kitchen to hold small items so that more large containers of food can be stored in the large one. It was decided to put this on a “wish list” for next year. Kathy reminded everyone that our “Wish List” from last year was almost complete.
Parish Picnic: Elaine asked if she should be planning the August Parish picnic. She is not sure Fr. Andrew will want to do this. It was decided to go ahead with the plans because the park has to be scheduled right away. She will plan for August 10th or 17th. The picnic will have a “Jungle” theme.
