MINUTES: for the May meeting were not available. 

KITCHEN REPORT:  All is going OK.  July picnic is the next event, details discussed below.

RAFFLE REPORT:  The auction went pretty good.  It brought in $689.50, and an additional $120.00 was received in donations.

TREASURERS REPORT:  The activity report was presented showing disbursements and receipts.  We have $856.51 in the account prior to disbursement requests received today.  The auction did well, so we have sufficient funding for the picnic. Upon a motion by Diane and a second by Wally, the report was unanimously accepted.

NEWSLETTER REPORT:  There were 11 new email addresses added and 7 mails.  Thirty hard copies were sent, 20 hard copies left at the Treatment Center and 79 emails.  We are dropping new patient hard copy mailings after 3 issues, unless the $17 subscription is paid.  A notice of subscription due is sent with the final mailing and no grace period is given.  The option of a free email copy is always available.  Articles are desperately needed.
