The brochure is already posted at the community center and Pizza Factory. Allison will ask at the dog groomers

4th of July Bake Sale – This weekend.
Progressive Lunch: Debbie Bybee-Crumpley is organizing. It will move to three different homes where there will be salads at one and heavy appetizers at the second followed by dessert at the third home. It is limited to 24 which includes the three hosts. Each person who attends needs to bring one of the aforementioned foods with enough to feed 24. Date will be August 15th.
The three homes will be Theresa Magnuson, Becky Lamoly and Heather will host the dessert location.
Logging Days Craft Sale July 19th -: Carol Game is organizer. Instead of a bake sale we will be selling crafts. There will be specialty themed cookies baked and masterly artistically frosted by Debbie.
We will be having a craft day at Theresa’s to make items such as the plant jewel sticks, some teacup cup bird feeders, and painted rocks.

Upcoming Meeting: Aug. Meeting will be at Green Acres. Sept.-Apple Ridge (there will be a guest speaker)
Oct. -Lava Cap Winery in Camino
Nov. – Pollock Pines Community Church potluck
Dec. – Party at the golf course
August Meeting: At Green Acres, Greg will do a presentation for us. We will have chairs inside with air conditioning. For anyone who wants to go to lunch afterwards we will go to lunch at Lazy Dog.
Christmas Craft Fair: There was a discussion at our next meeting about moving it from the weekend prior to Thanksgiving to two weekends before Thanksgiving. This works much better for the community center. This could pose a problem for craft vendors who are committed at Apple Hill until the close of the season. Changing the date is on hold until Jan is consulted on if this is a conflict.
Christmas Party Location- A discussion was had as to where this year’s party should be and the consensus was to go ahead and make reservations at the golf course where it was last year.
Carol told us about a very fun and successful fundraiser auction that was held at the Wagon Train. It was suggested that we have that as part of the fun at our Christmas Party.
Adjourn – Theresa at 11:54
