Minutes from the August 21st meeting

that we have $2,009.42 in the checking account. The Pond tour resulted with a $1,436.72 net profit. The report was approved as presented.

 

Under old business, we discussed ideas to help increase membership. One idea was to have a reward card for purchases at businesses that carry pond products: Jackson's, Waterscape Concepts, Blue Acres and Waters Edge. Details will be worked out and presented to the four businesses for their approval.

Don reported that he had visited with TBA and we might be able to work with them on our garden/pond tours. We could possibly trade off every other year. Further details need to be worked out.

 

Helen Platis passed around a sign up sheet for volunteers that would help at Apple Fest, which it October 6th. Several members signed up to help the Platis's.

Members indicated an interest in having a Member's Pond Tour in September. Sandy Regier will try to organize the tour. It will probably be Sept. 22nd or 29th.

Don asked for volunteers for the nomination committee, but no one stepped up to the plate. We need to present a nomination slate of officers at the September meeting and elect officers at the October meeting.

Jim Green moved and Tom Garcia seconded to adjourn. Motion carried.

Refreshments were served by Jim and Sue Mowder. It was good to see Sue back on her feet after her broken bone. Tina Wesch will provide refreshments for the September meeting.
