Location-ZOOM Virtual Meeting
Speaker-None
Attendees: Andrea De La Cruz, Don and Kathy Jorgensen, John and Cindy Dooling, Harold Burtzloff, Laura Clymer, Beckie Penman, Bob Bishop, Dan Contorno, Peter Mack, Christine Leonard
Tech troubles with audio for Andrea and video for Christine created a slight delay to the Pledge and start of the meeting.
President De La Cruz announced we will return to the Northwest Fire District Training facility next week after a lengthy absence. The meeting will be hybrid.
Much discussion regarding future speakers. Bob Bishop has done a remarkable job but does need all of our support and suggestions. Mark Goligoski's wife is the Principal at the new MUSD STEM high school located at Wade and Silverbell roads. She will be our speaker in the near future as well as will be the MUSD Public Safety Officer. Christine Leonard will arrange for member CPR training at three consecutive meetings. Finally, the 2/18/2025 meeting will be held at MCAT.
Dan reports that we have well over 100 riders signed up for Tour de Cookie with $7,000 in revenue already in the bank. We do need sponsors and cookie booth operators. John will attend tomorrow's Chamber meeting and get the word out there. Christine will try to get word to neighborhood association newsletters and Don Jorgensen suggested word to District for Impact newsletter. Laura mentioned that she liked having "lead" charity as a focal point of our fundraiser and hope we can do the same in years to come.
