April meeting minutes.

Sorry I've been MIA.
Our April board meeting was held on April 4, 2014 at Barb's house.
  The meeting started at 8 pm. Those in attendance were Lisa, Debbie, Denise, Sarah, Barb, and Carmen.
  We discussed the Ester party  including possible crafts, snacks, and the Easter bunny.  All topics were left hanging as we had to find a bunny, look for a craft, and decide on snacks.
  We followed this by talking about so,me possibilities of a place to meet for our May installation dinner. This too was tabled for a later time.
  We briefly talked about the groups finances and treasury. Decided that should the group continue the budget could be revised as we've spent less money this year than past years.
  Then we follows this by board elections coming up and the possibility of not having anyone who wanted to be a board member.
   The meeting concluded around 10 pm.

Our April general meeting was held on April 17, 2014. The meeting started at 8 pm. There were 12 members present. We began by filling and counting Easter eggs for the party the following day. We then had some food while talking among ourselves.
  We voted on board members and also on donating money to the church. Dorothy Sommer made a motion to divide our church donation in half giving half to March of Dimes and half to the church. This was voted on and passed.
  Dorothy Sommer was the only person who wanted to run for a board position. We then discussed ways to change the group and decoded we could have a committee of no less than 3 people to work together.  I (Carmen) motioned that Dorothy could essentially take over treasurer duties if Tabitha Bucknam would agree to step up with me to form the committee.  She agreed and then Tammy DePotty also said she would join in with the 3 of us to form a committee of 4.   We will be meeting to discuss what changes will need to be made to switch from a board to a committee.
  The meeting was over at 9:30.

March of Dimes Walk

The March of Dimes walk is just a few weeks away! This year's walk is on Sunday, April 27th. Registration is at 9 am and the walk begins at 10 am. The walk will be held at the Bicentennial Park in Grand Blanc on Grand Blanc Rd. The new path back through the park is a great path for the kids - away from traffic and paved well. There's snacks and prizes along the way for the little ones. The event is always followed by a picnic. If you've never done the walk, let Barb or Lisa know if you have any questions!


You can sign up to walk with the group and raise money online once you create your own page. If you're not able to walk with the team, you can make a donation to one of our registered members or to the group.

We've all benefited from the work of the March of Dimes and its just one way we can give back and help ALL babies have a healthy start!

Hope a few of you can join us!
