expand the committee beyond the Lions Club. Chris Porter from BCHS expressed interest in serving.
PUBLICITY:
Sue LaCrosse said she also would like to expand this committee. If anyone
knows of someone who might be interested, let her know. Mike Meyer said he doesn’t think we should
have the Leo Club distribute flyers. He suggested contacting corporate or the manager early. We won’t
be inviting Radio Disney back because it did not attract a large audience this year. She already

nothing now, but if it changes they will contact her.
