August 2010 Newsletter

Our August meeting was well attended with 22 members and 2 guest .

Jim reported that the club treasury had $1816.15 in our account.

Terry reported that we have added 5 new DVD’s to our library. 2 Lyle Jamieson, 2 Malcolm Tibbets and a Ernie Conover. Terry also made up a binder with all the covers of the library DVD’s.

We set up two demo days in September.
9/11 at the Festus library at 10am.
9/18 at the Arnold library at 10am

Discussed starting discussions on finding a new facility.

Discussed our holiday birdhouse project. 2 potentials were Hillcrest on 12/11 and The Villas on 12/18. We would need about 200 birdhouses to do them both.

We will further discuss having the club purchase all the birds and stand materials.

Congratulations go to Gary Gronborg and his recent art show success’s. 9 blue ribbons and 2 red ribbons. Great work.
