TREASURER’S REPORT
Baylon Loosbrock reported contributions of $1,850 plus $649 held by the City. With 188 tickets sold so far,
our ticket revenue is $6,580. Sue LaCrosse said we have 21 awards to budget for. Phil Cohen said he would
like to talk about the number of awards given out and the deadline date at the wrap up meeting. This part of
the program survives on contributions from the civic organizations and many did not donate this year. There
was a motion by Tom Shinnick, seconded by Pastor Bruce Hobbs to approve the treasurer’s report. Motion
carried. Sue LaCrosse said we are now up to 191 paid reservations. Phil Cohen said he contacted the pen
company to find out how much it would cost to have more pens printed or if he can purchase them without
the printing.
CIVIC GROUP INVOLVEMENT
We have two more nominations bringing our count to 21.
PROGRAM/ENTERTAINMENT
No report.
COMMITTEE ACTION ITEMS

Brookdale Center along with a $60 prize donation. McDonalds was really generous giving her $200 in
food gift certificates.
The committee discussed the floor plan and the flow of the awards. If possible the committee would like
to have their next meeting at the Heritage Center. Sue LaCrosse will check and email everyone.

6:55 p.m. Veteran’s Recognition.
