Below are a few basic things that need to be covered.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>• Presidential release if available<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>• Approval of April minutes<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>• Chapter treasurer’s report<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>• Freddy’s Fund-raising dinner night, May 22 from 5:00 pm to 8:00pm. Unfortunately I’ve not received an electronic version of the coupon flyer which I had hoped to pass along to disceminate via email. However, I was assured by Kevin Ettian, a manager, that coupon flyers would be available at Freddy’s early in the week of the event. Perhaps someone could do a drop-by and pick some up for handing out to your friends and acquaintances.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>• Social Event. Decide if we want to have a social event, perhaps a picnic in one of our local parks like we had last year. Saturday’s in June are 6/7, 6/14, 6/21, and 6/28. If this makes a difference to anyone, the 28<sup>th</sup> is the big day of the St. John’s Parrish fiesta, but it will start in the late afternoon hours. You may also want to determine what food items we furnish out of treasury, and what will be by pot luck contribution.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>• Last but not least, National convention comes up in July, so those who plan on going need to get registered and reserve a hotel room at the Rosen Center by no later than May 28. If anyone voices an intention to attend national convention, the chapter should decide how much financial assistance to provide to each attendee.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Athena, feel free to bring up any items you think I should have added to the list. Cheryl, it would be much appreciated if you could bring the presidential release. I’m sure this will be an excellent meeting and I’ll see you all in June.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Best regards,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Rob<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
