New Business:
- Ted sent the following email: “I want you guys to look at this and see what you think and if we go ahead and put it on the website and see if we can attract some attention. We can talk about it tomorrow night at the board meeting at seven.”
He is proposing a two day event (Monday & Tuesday) at the Double JJ Resort. This is one of those events the more that come the more fun it will be. And the Double JJ Resort is excited about the prospect of having Michigan’s Santas come and play at their place. He needs at least twenty to commit to going.
Motion: by Norm to create n event called ‘Jingle Joy Retreat” at the Double JJ Resort May 17 & 18, 2021. Seconded by Ellen. Motion passed.
Lots of work to do, more updates in future. We’re just not sure at this point if we will have a November meeting.
