Committee Reports

Grad Party – The grad party has been held the past two years at ProSports,
which the seniors prefer for the venue this year. The quote provided is under the
budgeted amount. Seniors are still working out the hours and committee looking
for volunteers as it is a weeknight this year.

Reflections – Sita Quinsay has volunteered to chair and submitted 5 items from
3 students. Bonnie will ask Tina Bellnap to replace Sita as chair next year.
Unfinished Business
Dave Lyon brought up the outstanding costs related to a student visit at Embry Riddle
last summer. Scott McComb offered to contact Embry Riddle to ask them to waive the
cost because they already provide so much support to our school, Scott felt that the
supporters of our school may not be aware of us being charged this fee. Bonnie
Demaree moved that if Embry Riddle still asks us to pay the outstanding fee, that we
permit the Board to pay it. It was seconded by Drea Lyon, and unanimously approved
by members in attendance.
