Jeanne asked for a motion to accept minutes from last meeting as printed in the newsletter, Barbara said she had a correction for the minutes. It was stated that she would work with Jean and Jeanne at Senior Day at the Douglas County Fair. Barbara was working on Friday the eighth not Senior Day so that needs to be corrected. Helen Fortner made a motion to accept the corrected minutes as reported. Second was made by Joni Brooks, motion was carried.
Jeanne wanted to remind everyone about the seminar. Stormy said she had talked to Donna White, Sue Eakin will provide the boards mentioned in the supply list as she needs to stretch the watercolor paper to the boards.
