Old Business
Discussion of Radiator Grille. Expenses were over $900 which included the purchase of items which can be used for future events as well as a heavy duty garbage can since the County is no longer using the brown barrels. We had a lot of leftover food as there were a couple of large groups of no-shows. After discussion, it was decided to cut the food back by 1/3 from what was purchased this time for the next Grille. Bonnie found that we spent $770 for the last one. We will also look at holding the Spring Radiator Grille earlier to accomodate snowbirds who usually head back for Easter and Passover. Henry mentioned that we should send a thank you letter to the County Mayor who stopped by to visit.
