Katherine Hegemann

• Fund Raiser Discussion: Kathleen Gehr-Chocolate auction; Kitty Hegemann-Kid day at Ralph Stout Park; decided to go with the chocolate auction with Kathleen as Chair and Belinda Gelman and Evelyn Cook serving on the committee
• District Call List: Some folks don’t want to make cold calls; Belinda Gelman will assist with the Trade list; Carole still has some lists that nobody has agreed to call
• Cranberry Festival: Kitty Hegemann to call Helen McQueen to have her coordinate; Evelyn Cook suggested that members from Shady Valley and the rest of us will man the booth

Carole Maulden

• The Old Butler Days did not work out so good-confusion about setup, not a high attendance, and it was very hot

Evelyn Cook

• Old Butler Days: take the heat trophies to Karin Bell, Louise Hamm, Carole Maulden, Kitty Hegemann
  Changing meeting day and time discussion: Saturday 10 am, 11 am or 12 pm; vote to keep at 2nd Saturday of the month at 10 am
• Janey Nelson: presented a sample vest for DWJC; reversible with solid outside and print inside; cost $25-28 per vest
• Instead, Karin Bell, Lynn Ong and Kathleen Gehr volunteered to make the vests for the cost of the fabric; Romayne St. John motioned to accept Karin’s idea, seconded and voted yes
• State of DWJC: Are we getting where we need to be? Unanimously Yes-especially compared to a year ago
• Directory: Kitty will have them by next meeting
• Belinda suggested we recall those on the voting lists who expressed interest in DWJC before the next meeting
• Discussion: DWJC newsletter, article in newspaper, get those who can’t come to the meetings to call the voting list women
• DWJC did not participate in the JC Fair as per Terry Warden’s advice-major act was not coming and the heat wave
