Federation (Mike):<\/strong>\u00a0Nothing to report, although a club member, Ken Fleming is interested in selling\u00a0the club 295# (270 pieces) of thunder eggs for $2\/ lb. $600 total. They look to be from\u00a0Richardson Ranch and\/or Lucky Strike mine. A motion was made, voted, and passed. A check was cut for Ken in the amount of $600. We discussed the ability to cut the eggs onsite at the pavilion. If not, we will direct them to the mall to have stones cut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A change is being made to our club flier\/ application – the info on the back of the removable app will be inserted into the flyer to use less paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2025 Show:\u00a0<\/strong>Tracy is co-chair, but we will need another co-chair for show. We discussed getting new table skirts, in a uniform color for next show. Green, Blue, black? Committee\u00a0sign-ups are coming for the next show. We discussed the success of color coding \/ balloons at each station for next year. We would also like to update the scholarship poster to\u00a0something more current, with Candi presenting a check.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Old Settlers<\/strong>: coming up fast, people are signing up to volunteer- thank you! We discussed show cases, tables, thunder eggs, books, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Liberty Mutual insurance has been renewed. We had a discussion about “members only” at field trips due to liability policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Side note: a member asked to have a donation jar inside the mall store to help finance a cab machine. This was discussed, and was unfortunately declined due to possible \u00a0conflict of interest. All members are welcome to have a table at the RRR to promote their own business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
