Letters to donors were discussed. We will bring a copy of past letters to the September meeting and a list of potential donors.

Participation in community events was discussed. Norma had a table at Pioneer Picnic and people stopped by and got information. We need to get stuff from Lance to hand out. A table at the farmer’s market is a possibility.
