A. Village Affair – The treasurer produced a statement of income for the Village Affair and the Christmas Auction for the last five years. It was noted that there was less advertising expense on the V.A. the last year or two. Also the Roost did not charge for service. We may have that expense in future. There was a suggestion about updating Village Affair on the blog, advertising on the blog next year and in Twitter.

B. Women of Today – There is interest in the Village  Affair. We have an invitation to attend their next meeting on Thursday, Mar. 21 to discuss what is involved in running it. It was suggested that we check with Pam or Marilyn about attending, since they have the most knowledge of the whole process. Beth Krebs expressed a willingness to go if needed.
