Old Business:

Annual Meeting wrap up: Consensus was that the door prizes were a big hit and the overall night was a huge success. Good turnout, good weather, good fellowship, good program (update from the town on HCI)! Thanks to everyone for taking on a piece of it so that it wasn’t overwhelming for any one person.

New Business:

Albion Town Wide Garage Sale: With Mark Gephardt leaving and not knowing where the garage sale file might be, we are in a time crunch to get things done. Chris is looking into trying to contact Mark on the file location and will get out the forms. Sandy volunteered to gather the data from the forms for the flyer for the New Era and Kay volunteered to help distribute. Chris will have Lanette do the online marketing for the event. (Post meeting we found out that Phil is coming back to the North Ridge Village Nursing Home and his old position on the Chamber Board and is willing to take on the Garage Sale project again!)

Goodwill Truck: Tammy-May 12th. (same date as the town wide clean up). Ken and Sandy volunteered for the 11-Noon slot!

Christmas in the Village: Tammy will be having a committee wrap up meeting soon. It's’ early, but Sandy shared with the board that the Albion Rotary Club is putting on an “Ugly Sweater 5k Run” the morning after the Christmas Parade and tree lighting. So December 8th! More info to come soon

Election of Officers: Ken made a motion to nominate and vote in the same slate, Sandy seconded, all voted in favor. So Chris remains president with the understanding that lots of delegation will occur. Carla is VP, Sharon is treasurer, and Sandy is secretary.

Announcements:

QuIP Grant: Star Team endeavor. The bike racks are in and will be assembled with help from the Albion Rotary club. The chess and checker pieces are also in and the concrete board and structures will be put in with the help of the town and park dept. (going by the splash pad); the way-finding signs have yet to be ordered, but according to Tammy this will be soon.

Adjournment:

Meeting adjourned at 12:05 pm.
