Director's Reports:

Brad reported plans going well for the Kid's party. He turned in $325 collected for the kids gifts. There will be 38-40 kids. Bryan Noyd is going to purchase gift certificates (probably $15. each) at Hastings. The board discussed buying from Target or Walmart, in order to get more for the money. Brad stated it is what Bryan volunteered to do, and Hastings is where he chose. We will put together gift baskets. Brad will send a list of "sign-ups", and Jim will publish it. Kris will take care of bagging frosted cookies.

Kevin received a letter from Craig Reese regarding his past due bill. Craig wishes to trade storage for this bill, until balance is covered, then make an "in kind" donation. This will be retroactive back to July when his resignation was accepted. This was moved, seconded, and passed.
