It is important that you let Joan know what you have accomplished so that she can pass it on to the board. That will keep us from duplicating. Also, remember to bring an ice chest and 2 bags of ice. We now have 8 confirmed dunkees... Remember there are lots of hungry people this year due to the recession so go for as much stuff as possible! We usually run out with 300 so try for 400+. And don't forget to pass out your picnic flyer (attached).

Summit Keynote speaker from the Stalking Center has been arranged. We need other speakers for the afternoon breakout sessions (4 sessions). Suggestions should be sent to Jolene. I sent out 2 requests today (7/16/09).

It was agreed that we would continue to use Honey Baked ham for the lunch meal. ?Joan is arranging?

Vendors were discussed and silent auction items were discussed. Joyce and Barbara are working on these.

New Business:

Marlene Mitchell spoke about the Poulsbo Rotary, their commitment to assist DV victims and that she is here today to gather info.

Pam mentioned the West Sound Safety and Health Fair is happening in August and passed around a flyer. The Board voted to participate and to try to partner with the YWCA again this year in sharing a booth/table. Carol agreed to organize this.
