Meeting Reminders:
Just a reminder that Greti will be making her farewell presentation on June 26th. There is no meeting on July 3rd and the meeting on July 10th is in the evening at Mel’s house.
Funfest:
Paul provided an update on the Funfest event. While it didn’t rain it was cool and became very windy. We did get approximately 565 attendees which included participants, guests and volunteers in addition to some Bissell’s campers. The event was a success and raised funds for Big Brothers and Big Sisters. There will be a wrap up meeting in July of the committee. For next year, the event is booked for June 20th which is still Father’s Day weekend but not opening weekend for Bissell’s. Please mark June 20th, 2020 in your calendar.
The club thanked Paul Allen, Paul Snack, and Bob Eamer for their leadership with this new event.
