The June 2, meeting came to order at 7pm. Pledge of allegiance said and a prayer by “Santa”.
There were 19 in attendance, no new members or guests.
Lisa read the Secretary’s report: I wanted to say a special thank you to Kurt “Zip” Behrendts for the beautiful pictures he took at B4B and sent to me so quickly, so that they could be put into the Rider last month. Thank you, thank you, thank you Mike Poage for all that you do and all that you have done for the Region and the Awareness program.
Bryan read Treasures report and A.C. /M&E officer report: We are working on a combined end of the year party at Hell Creek Ranch with a few other Regions as none of us are interested in/agree with the Field Meet that our Board of Directors has set up this year.
Mike read the Awareness report: 93 students taught this month and 301ytd. “Our awareness program is healthy again.” Mike has chosen to only be a part-time instructor so that he can pursue other adventures. He handed (unexpectedly to her) Lisa the calendar of classes scheduled and an Awareness Coordinator patch.
