2. The Board pondered the upcoming Flag Day event - Saturday, June 14.  Chris will check with Carlin and Bob Robinson to be sure each team has enough members and flags.

3. The Board next focused on the upcoming Sturgis Falls fundraiser.  Board members present volunteered for various shopping details - see http://www.uni.edu/neuhaus/sertoma/sturgissignup2003.html for details and to sign up for a booth time or other necessary chores.  Paula suggested we check with various merchants and organizations in town to see if they might donate necessary items e.g. freezer, refrigerator, tables, steam heater ... for the event.  Paula volunteered to make these calls.  Chris suggested that all merchants and organizations making donations should have a banner/poster (other?) displayed on the Cedar Valley Sertoma Club Booth proclaiming their participation.

4. The Board took up further discussion of a once-a-month Thursday evening Club Meeting.  Chris noted that the Broom Factory (Dorothy) asked if we would be willing to order of a menu in advance.  Chris pointed out that this would require plenty of advance notification similar to that requested for the Annual Banquet.  David and Lea recommended that the Club arrange for hors d'oeuvres (if possible) to be served during the meeting with members ordering drinks (pop - cocktails).  Then those members who wish to have dinner could retire to the main dining room after the meeting.  This idea was unanimously agreed upon.  Chris will put this proposal to Dorothy next week.
