Prayer Breakfast, BC Lions Club, BC Rotary, North Memorial, and Carson & Clelland, which brings the
cash balance to $3,225.38. Additional contributions are expected from the BC Chamber and BC Women’s
Club. Phil Cohen asked the board to approve the number of awards from 15 to 16 in case there is a last
minute recommendation. This would increase the budget for awards from $450 to $480. Phil Cohen
estimated the checkbook balance would be $528 after the party. There was a motion by Tony Kuefler,
seconded by Councilmember Ed Nelson to approve the amended budget.
RECOGNITION RECIPIENTS
There is a correction to the list of recognition recipients. Under Brooklyn Center Hmong community it
should be Pastor John Yang. However, when Phil Cohen reviewed the list he had given to Viking Trophy,
it was correct.
PROGRAM:
Phil Cohen explained how the awards would be distributed. Sue Low will read the information about each
recipient. The sponsor will come up and hand the award to the recipient. The recipient will sit down until
all of the awards have been given out.
