Action Items:

Evergreen Park Project: Michelle not present, will get stats update Aug 12 meeting. Kendra reports went well, did survey, had good response. Thanks to those who volunteered.

Clubrunner: Brief review of what Clubrunner is, training has been graciously offered by Kevin Hilgers, Rotary member. In need of computer, projector, and a 1/2 hr of your time to learn the ropes; a very useful tool with way more functions than we are currently using.

Stompede Fundraiser: Ashley's got the goods, so we will wait to hear the results from her at next meeting.

Duck Sorting Day: With the way tickets sales are currently sitting, we are preparing to sort ducks. Proposed date is August 10 at the Lion's Learning Centre - Murray has advised their space is most likely available to use for this - Darrell to confirm. PUSH PULL OR DRAG you and your closest 20 friends to help out with this - it's going to be a big job! Side note: Meeting consensus to claim this as our official August Social - Gabrielle will look into some pizza for us, Sarah will look into some sort of way to make this fun! More details to come. Thanks in advance, you diehards!

Street Performers Festival: A fun time had by all, the English Gents stole the show. 138 tickets sold, $155 proceeds from I Am Silly magic goods sales, $330 proceeds from water sales/donations. Thank you Cheryl for organizing water sales; thanks to all who volunteered.

Old/Ongoing Business:
Duck Race Ticket Tally is 1020 sold to date. That means 13,980 left to go - let's push those tickets! Darrell attended Wed and Fri Rotary Clubs, seven books taken by members to sell on our behalf. Proposed plans to have Rotaract members attend Rotary meetings again to sell individual tickets to members. Cheryl has arranged ticket sales at Walmart for this weekend, July 26 and 27 (Cheryl, how do you know so many people?).

Shifts are as follows:
Saturday 9am-1pm: Cheryl and Gabriel
Saturday 1pm-5pm: Cheryl (we need one more here...any takers?)
Sunday 9am-1pm: Darrell (again, one more needed)
Sunday 1pm-5pm: Dana, Kendra

Request for additional volunteers for daily deposits, schedule is currently being done up one week in advance - please let Gabrielle know when you can help. Request also for any ideas of additional ticket sale venues or volunteers - please advise any executive member if you know of anywhere/anyone.

New Business:

Banking:
Motion to amend signing authority on banking from Gabrielle, Kathleen and Michelle to Gabrielle, Darrell and Miranda. Cheryl motion, Becky second - passed.

Lions Club Big Bike Event: We have been given invitation to enter a team, but, with Duck Race volunteering etc, will not be officially doing so - feel free to attend and enter if you so choose.

Reminder next meeting August 12, 7:30pm Stanford Inn

Executive Retreat? Agreed to plan at some point after Duck Race, proposed long weekend overnight trip not feasible for some executives. More planning to come.

More tickets, anyone?? Darrell has many tickets ready to sell! Get them while they're hot...

Roundtable:
A few things to ponder - would we like a guest speaker to come in and discuss meeting and time management skills? Kendra generously offered to run a session for us as this is her forte. More to come. New schedule for social night organizers to be made soon, as August is last month planned.

Meeting Adjourned
