[DSM-Iowa] Donations for state door prizes

[Michael Harvey]

Good evening federation family, 
Saturday after our chapter meeting I sent an email explaining that as a chapter we donated 2 door prizes valued at $50 each for state convention last year. I proposed we consider doing the same this year. I also acknowledge the fact that I should have brought this matter up during the meeting. I asked members for feedback before I polled the chapter board to get approval as the board makes decisions for the chapter between meetings. I received positive feedback from several members, and nobody voiced opposition to this idea. In electronic communication with the board, Don Shepherd made a motion which was seconded by Sharonda Goode. The board voted unanimously to donate 2 $50 door prizes for state convention. As I stated previously, I should have mentioned this during the meeting, and I appreciate those who responded with feedback regarding this matter. I have asked Dave as our treasurer to transfer the funds to the state for the door prizes. 
Reminders: contact Chelsea Page with any door prizes as we are always looking for more. Also, tomorrow October 16, 2020 is the last day to register for state convention. You must be registered for state convention to be eligible to win door prizes and to vote during convention.

Respectfully,
