Treasurer’s Report: Ending balance for May is $5,019.87. All bills were paid. Dues were collected from 2 new members. Randy stated we netted $89.58 from the May mixer. He also has an application from Baum’s Promotional Products & More.

Old Business: GARAGE SALE—Marlene moved, seconded by Brenna, to donate the $383.74 in proceeds from the sign up to the Park Board. All in favor. Marlene has not yet received a check from Krispy Kreme. There was some confusion with the maps not being out till after 8a on Friday and it made it sound like the donuts were free—maybe they could be. Marlene moved, seconded by Brenna, to set the City-Wide Garage Sale date as the same Friday & Saturday as Mother’s Day. All in favor.
JULY 4—Randy will not be available to run the booth. Kathryn will check her schedule. Randy will check with his church youth group. More people are needed to work. Randy moved, seconded by Paula, to set the bottle water price at $1. All in favor. Tatoos are free- but limit to 2. Light price will have to be decided at next meeting as the cost price was not available. Randy will get the water and he has an awning.
AUDIT—Randy has spoken with Marshall Decker offices. They will get back to him with availability. This will be our first audit.
INCOME TAXES—Randy did this via internet.
MIXER—Twelve were in attendance for the May mixer. Marlene will sponsor the June 19 meeting but will not be available. This will be at 8:30am in the Community Room.

New Business: NEW MEMBERS—Marlene moved, seconded by Brenna, to accept the application from WCA (Waste Corporation of America, Inc.). All in favor.

CHAMBER DIRECTORY—Randy had quotes from 2 companies for a 24 page directory, 3000 copies. The first quote was $5,500 and the second $2,324. The smallest directory would be 8 pages. Paula will get a quote from her son. A city map, city and chamber activities could be listed along with business advertisements. Sandra mentioned including it with the city newsletter with us paying the additional postage. More on this at the July meeting.
RIBBON CUTTINGS—Brenna commented that there are several new businesses in town that we should contact. Paula wanted to know why we seem selective in doing ribbon cuttings. She stated she would head this committee but needs to be made aware of any new business. It was mentioned that Envy is close to opening.
MISC: RECYCLE—Sandra commented on the necessity of a local recycle bin. She received a quote from WCA for a 8x22 bin. Monthly cost would be $30, a considerable discount, and $135 plus fuel charge for each empty. Where could it be put? More on this at the July meeting.
POST OFFICE—Please mark June 18, 6:30 p.m. on your calendars. There is a special City Council meeting with the US Post Office as the only item on the agenda. Postal service officials will be on hand to get community opinion, answer questions and share information. Please attend and show your support for Battlefield having its own Post Office.

JULY MEETING—Due to Randy being out of town on July 3 and with needing to finalize last arrangements for July 4 it was decided that we will next meet on Friday, June 27 at noon.

Adjourn: Brenna moved, seconded by Delores, to adjourn at 1:06pm.

Sincerely Submitted,

Brenna Davis,
Secretary
