OLD BUSINESS:
· The newly purchased gold pins for 50 year graduates were displayed for all to see. Approved by all present. The pins were purchased from Classic Touch in Phillipsburg by Jeane. Last year, we purchased 12 pins. One pin was used at May banquet along with remainder of old pins. This year we purchased 10 more pins at price of $73.00 each. We now have 21 pins. There will be no graduating class in May 2014. Our decision is to purchase some new pins each year due to possibility of gold prices increasing.
· Yearly dues of $10.00 are due in November. Contact Jeane with any questions regarding dues.
· The “bakeless” bake sale will continue as a fund raiser. We still have car magnets for sale.
