September 28th at the Event Center. The cost is $8 and participants will receive
a meal along with the chance to attend three seminars and hear a keynote
speaker. One of the seminars will be on Pilates and there will be two volunteers
needed to help demonstrate the movements. Kathy requested that the Advisory
Board purchase two tickets to the expo for the volunteers as a way of showing
our appreciation. John made a motion to purchase tickets for the two helpers for
the Pilates seminar. Julie seconded the motion and it was approved.
B. Pool Table Cover- September felt that it would be a good idea to purchase some
materials to cover the pool table when other events are being held. Card players

approve which was seconded by Julie. It was agreed upon unanimously.
