New Business:

T-shirts: Lacie Blevins will be heading this committee up again
TAPE Membership: Heather Leggett will begin this committee (as well as enrollment and room
parent list) and work on it through the summer. She will be willing to hand that over in the
fall if we have a new volunteer.
Enrollment: Open.
Box Tops for Education: Open. We will pursue a few leads.
Fall Fundraiser: Starts Aug 28th and ends Sept 18th. Open.

T-shirt Sample Funds: Please see committee report above.

Old Settler’s Day: We will be doing a window display and a parade “float”. We need a committee for this set of events as well. A motion was made by Heather Leggett to spend no more than $250 on Old Settler’s Day event. Seconded by Elizabeth Thornton. Passed by unanimous vote.
