3 Treasurer’s report: Ending balance - $10,707.62 – detailed report will be sent via email.
4 Membership: We have 43 new members. We are getting together a thank-you letter. Most
dates for the coming year are now in question due to covid-19.
5 Are there any things we can do for the community? Sandi mentioned putting paper eggs
in the window for Easter. There are 279 lunches served at CSCS – could SPAN supply
Easter candy, like stuffed eggs to be added to the take-out bags?
6 Any ideas for Mother’s Day? Hand out flowers? Mother-daughter buffet?
7 Mary Kay stated that we need a census of who is in need in Clyde, maybe through a
questionnaire, maybe door to door after the coronavirus subsides.
8 We could have a list of projects ready for clubs.
9 Hugh Miner moved ‘…that SPAN spend up to $100. to purchase candy for student lunches”
Seconded by Mary Kay. Motion passed.
10 Amy wondered if students could paint along with artists in the paint & chat venues. Could
Steve Moore work it into an arts grant. Perhaps a photography contest or other media with a
theme.
11 Meeting adjourned at 8:03pm.
Respectfully submitted,
