Summer Executive Committee Meeting Held

On Tuesday, June 18, 2013, the Executive Committee of BCREA met for their summer planning meeting.  This meeting took place at Perkins in Rice Lake.  Attending the meeting were: John Osterloth - President; Marie Anderson - Secretary; Sandy Steiner - Treasurer; Steve Eichman - Vice President; and Helen Block - Scholarships.
At this meeting we discussed membership numbers and what we might do to increase our numbers.  We set meeting dates, places, and programs for the 2013-14 meeting schedule.  This is getting finalized and will be available prior to the September meeting.
We talked about scholarships and found out that we did present one scholarship this year.  Information will be presented at the September meeting.
We also discussed and planned a summer get together.  On July 17th, we will be having a pot luck get together at Narrows Park in Rice Lake.  Look for more information to follow.
We also discussed local dues and decided to keep them at $10 this year.
