NEW BUSINESS: - Board Election: Need to do in November (Assembly Nov. 13th). Bob Mollman’s and Jill Olsen’s terms are up. Need two new Directors (Jacob Wittrock and Mike Tiernan have expressed interest).

-  Conflict of Interest: (I don’t know what this was about – I just noted ‘Hold until Tom W. can review and comment’).

-  Potential Fundraiser: Coffee sales (thru Rotary Int’l?). Sell for $10, our club makes $3, RI makes $.32. Minimums apply?

-  Duckinator: One of the dragons the Marion kids made for the Swamp Fox parade is in disrepair. Let’s take a collection to raise money to refurbish it.

That’s all she wrote . . .
