we revise the budget to increase the membership and publicity budget by $60.00,
and that the carryover budget be decreased by the same amount; the motion
carried. President Shannon Croft announced that an Audit Committee consisting
of Geraldine Leondike, Kerri Lindsey and Casey Schrier has been appointed

who helped with the meeting today and welcomed those attending for the first
time. A hand-painted stool donated by Amy Turner was raffled, and the winner
was Michelle Skowronski. Membership and Publicity Chairperson Amy Turner
informed everyone that we will be able to obtain tickets to the Butterfly
Exhibit at Willowbend Mall in May at group rates, so anyone interested in
getting tickets should contact Amy. The next Member Social will be held at
Elizabeth Howell’s home on April 23. New Member Charlene Baca will be hosting
a themed scrapbooking page event for beginners on the third Friday of each
month from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. starting in May. All supplies are provided,
and there is no charge to attend, but those interested should sign up, as
she has limited space available. Nursery Chairperson and President-elect
Cathy Dreyer announced that Programs, Nursery Reservations, Nursery Crafts
and Sunshine Committee positions are still open for next year if anyone is
interested in filling them. Cathy also asked anyone who is due a nursery
refund next month please contact her so that she doesn’t miss anyone. Programs
