Thank you to all new members who attended todays meeting! Also a big thank you to those who have stepped up to volunteer either as Unit reps or who have shown interest in other board positions!

Have Unit Reps send out an email to members to have them check their spam folder or junk mail folder to make sure they are receiving our emails. We have had a few members where that has been the case.
We will be sending out the constitution soon. It will also be posted on the KOSC website.
We are still looking for Unit Reps for the following units:

Unit Reps/Members:

Winnie Pigott asked if there had been any feedback given so far for the Aloha Kick Off.

-Last year we had 60 vendors and this year we had 26 vendors. Some wanted more vendors but some were pleased to not feel bombarded.

-Unit Reps solicit feedback from members so that we can discuss at the next meeting.

-Work out the rules with MCCS for the vendors for selling at events.

It was asked if vendors, even if just 1 or 2, could be at other events, i.e. the Ornament Exchange? A lot of people thought this would be a great idea.
Melissa wanted to remind everyone that once our Newsletter is up and running vendors will be able to buy space for advertising.
