Rockin' 50's Dinner Thank You Thanks to all the members that donated to the raffle/auction.
The Decorating Committee was asked to stand and be recognized. A special thank you was given to Amy Doerger for obtaining
hundreds of dollars in gift certificates of local vendors and Ohio daylily sellers. Meeting - Kent State University: Doug introduced
Stan Jones and Paul Snyder the student NODS is sponsoring. Stan thanked us for our support. Paul will send us a short
biography so people can get to know him on our website.
- Discussed the need for club garden space
for sale plants. A 10X20 plot will yield a member $100. Plants must be planted, mapped, and cared for. This
year we will be reimbursing the Dickens' and Fraziers' $100 for their rental space. NODS is in desperate need
for more space. Please email Doug if you can help.
Financial review of 2008 - Doug suggested that the club purchase one piece of equipment
each year to help us do a better job at our sale and at speaking arrangements.
- He suggested
this year we purchase a thermal label printer to make plant labels for the sale. The cost is about $1,500.
The motion was passed. Rae/Gigi/John/Chris will research this for final costs to be presented at our next meeting.
Equipment should be purchased in time to use at our July sale this year.
- Next year the proposal
is to purchase a projector for PowerPoint presentations.
