Treasury Report – There was a suggestion to open new organizational accounts for some programs such as Studio Art and the Book Fair to make it easier for the people running the programs and to keep things separated. The treasury report was reviewed and accepted.

Martha will get change for breakfast and pictures ($50-10’s, $100-5’s & $150-1’s). The eggs are stuffed and ready and film will be purchased soon. Ann Horgan should be picking-up the costume but if she can’t Kristen will do it. We need to check on number of 2-part tickets we have in stock. We nee flat electric griddles approx. 4 to borrow to make pancakes. The back drop is normally done by the Special Ed department but a new one has not been done for this year so we will just use what ever decorations are available and put them up on the wall behind the bunny.
