brought in $1,391 net. Of this, $331 came
from raffles, $760 came from the silent auction, and the remainder came through
donations to the club.
71 names were
cut by club members, which was also responsible for a number of the club
donations.
As a
reminder for next year, we should be saving the sign-in slips.

Other Topics
Black Hills Battles is scheduled for Sept. 14 at old Story
Book Island. Stu will have 54 giraffes
ready for the event. The club has worked
on a number of giraffes for the battle as well.
Boys Club Pinewood Derby help, July 8, 9, 10. Carrie is the point of contact along with
Tanner Tucker.
Tool sale will be June 15. Because of demographic changes,
there is no parking at Wes’s. So, we are
looking for a new location for the tool sale.
If an item goes to the club, mark it with 99. Tony will total sales for each unique ID
number, save 10% for the club and the remainder to the individual. Tools are most welcome but other items can be
brought for the sale as well.
