LAST MONTH'S MINUTES for the Board of Directors Meeting on February 8, 2006 were approved.

TREASURER: The balance as of March 2006 was $4,316.46

MEMBERSHIP: 4 new members joined. We have a total membership of 63 people in our club.

HOSPITALITY: Bill Kurtz is still helping us out.

The April PROGRAM will be our annual Show and Sale.

LIBRARY: Nothing new to report.

AFFILIATE: Nothing new to report.

MINI SHOW: This has been finalized and will start in May.

ANNUAL SHOW: Last minute details were discussed for our upcoming Show and Sale: raffle, tape gun, tables, bull horn, school banners, boxes, flyers, and the membership area. We will be having one new vendor this year, Robin Stockwell, from Carmel. A motion was proposed and approved to allow the show sellers the option of abbreviating the hours they are required to help out at the sale by having them provide an alternate compensation to our club. A motion was proposed and approved to have Rich Kroll place a 2" x 1-1/2" ad in the Pennysaver for 1-week, at the cost of $230 per 100,000 homes. Rich and Bill Kurtz will determine which communities in the Bay Area to target.

BY-LAWS: Nothing new to report.

OLD BUSINESS:

• A good idea was suggested to include advertisements for our club's growers on the last page of our courier. Maybe, even to open up a personal want ads page. This might generate some enthusiasm from our members to exchange plants they are looking for, are giving away, or selling.
• Our club has a number of trophy and ribbon prizes that are no longer being used, which we would like to part with. They could either be donated to the CSSA, donated to Children's clubs as awards, cut-out and remounted, or photographed and put on our club's web-site as a tribute to the names contained on them. It was suggested to take the trophies to the Goodwill. This should be noted in our courier prior to happening.
• Bill Kurtz has several boxes of old CSSSJ couriers and a large wooden bookshelf that he would like to find a new home for.
• It was recommended that we split up our monthly programs into smaller multiple sections, so we can have more variety, and possibly perk up our membership interest.
• Tony Bassano wants to resign his position. We are looking for a new Treasurer.
• We are looking for someone to take over the Hospitality responsibilities.

NEW BUSINESS: Bill Munkacsy will be a guest on the radio talk show, KSFO 560, Sunday, March 26 at 7:30 A.M. He will be promoting our Show and Sale.

The meeting was adjourned at 11:45 A.M.

The next Board meeting will be on May 7, at the Prusch Park Meeting Hall at 10:30 A.M.
