A Chairperson for the upcoming Unit
Dinner on May 17th is needed. Susan Stark volunteered to do this. Barb said that we really need to promote this
event to all the unit members. She and Bev will create a flyer to be handed out at unit
events. Barb also asked that a poster be
done outlining the qualifications of the candidates. It was decided that if there were only 5 running
it would not be necessary. There was a
discussion as to cost of the annual Unit dinner and the fact that the event
always loses money since we have to guarantee 50 attendees and this did not
happen last year. Barb stated that it
was not the Unit’s intent to make a profit. There was a discussion about moving
to a different location but since time is short and publicity needs to be
gotten into Bridging the Gap and Whistfully Yours right away, to keep our
current location at St. Michael’s and discuss this for next year’s event. Kermit Wolford made a motion to hold the
dinner on May 17th at St. Michael’s.
