Hello all. Heather is correct, I am voting no on paying Eric the $40 for the Costco membership. I move that we pay Erik $40 for last year and $40 for this year. We would have to pay the $40 fee to get the September newsletter printed anyway, so if he decides to forgo the honor of dealing with the newsletter aren't really out of pocket anything. As far as the picnic is conserned, either August 14th or the 21st looks okay, with my preference being the 21st. My rents will be out of town the week of the 15th to 19th and that gives me a chance to get the place fixed up with out too much supervision. Let me know if this works for you guys. My priority is always to find a weekend that works for the board. I didn't look at other events in the area, seems like wailing days might be one of those weekends so let me know. Steve
