Thank you notes:  We received thank you notes this week from scholarship recipients, Tara Tran and Favian Mendez.  Both will be entering UNL.  Tara this fall, but Favian not until next spring because he will be doing training for the Marines from July 11^th to December 12^th.

Marilee sent a note thanking us for serving food, carrying trays, and refilling supplies for the CAMC picnic.  She says, “The grand success of the picnic is due to all of the volunteers.  Thank you!”

 

Member Surveys:  We have 20 of 27 surveys turned in so far.  They haven’t been completely tabulated yet, but one theme that I have heard is to have noon meetings.  Let’s talk about this in the next few weeks.  If you haven’t turned in your survey (or haven’t received one), please do so soon.  I want to hear from everyone.  Check with Jim F. if you need one.

 

Representative to Boy Scouts:  I haven’t heard from anyone yet about being our link to the Boy Scouts.  We have sponsored the local troop 212 for many years, and we need to have someone for communications with the troop.  Talk to Jim F. for details.
