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.

Good Morning, BCREA Members:
A copy of the individuals who have signed up to
attend this coming Thursday’s meeting is attached. Our attendance is way
down this May, so it is very important that we ALL honor our
reservations. Our menu at the ‘R Bar should include broasted chicken, a
baked potato, CA style vegetables, coleslaw, a brownie, and coffee or milk for
the beverage. (We did not have to pay for the meeting room.)
I know that Jeff French, our Barron County
Administrator, is working very hard to provide an informational and interactive
program for us on how the Barron County Budget is developed.
This blind copy is being sent to only those
members who are attending and have given me an e-mail address.
See you Thursday!
