Mr. Grynuik stated that for every deck that was sold for $30, the chapter would make $10, with the 5th deck raising the entire $30 as profit.  Currently, decks are available for Columbus, Cincinnati, and Toledo, with future plans to expand to other Ohio cities.  There is no up front cost to the chapter for the cards; they are given on  consignment  until the end date of the planned sale, when any unsold decks would be returned to the company.  In addition, sales can be made directly to customers, as well as through preorders and online.  The company would assist with marketing materials and a website for sales.  After some discussion, a motion was made (MariLyn/Heather) for the chapter to sell Foody Cards beginning immediately.  Passed with J.W. and Mike abstaining.  Carole will be the chapter’s point person for this project.
