New Business:

USCA Dues – Recently it was brought to our attention that we have not paid our dues which is approx. 1436 dollars.

 

County Fair Booth – Caren passed around a flyer for approval.  Flyer designed to be used for several events.  Cost is $150. Staffing the booth sign up sheet was passed around.  There was discussion whether we should have a raffle. Two points of concerns.  First is we can find a Wii machine to purchase as the prize and second persons under the age of 18 cannot not legally purchase a raffle ticket nor win the prize.  We will be responsible for carding people.  The cost of each raffle ticket was set at $5.00 each.

Raffle rules must be posted. Jan will print up this sign. Mike Hoff will purchase the Wii machine.  The tickets will be the movie style tickets.
