Garden Team: Daffodil Hill – DOT weed whacked the hill side so clean up is not necessary. There was discussion about not maintaining Daffodil Hill anymore. Maybe find another group to take it over? There will be an iris and day lily planting at the Old School on Thursday at 5:00 on Thursday, September 8th. Garden club requested $85 to spend on daffodils for the old school. This is $35 above their budget. Pat motioned to approve this expenditure; Sandra Bird seconded. Approved.
Library Team: Book sale at Safeway last Friday brought in $436! Discussed starting and ending later but there were people waiting for the sale to start and people not ready for it to end. Exhausting. Next book sale will be in May. A fill-a-bag sale at the library will be in November or December. The poker players at the community center had a 50/50 raffle to support the library that brought in $86.
Philanthropy Team: Greeting card project. Cars are still coming in. Will organize an afternoon to help residents at Western Slope with Christmas card writing for sometime in November.
