New Business:

The committee discussed the new meeting facilities and the meal. Some Adults Plus! members do not like not knowing what will be served at the meetings. Raising the price of the meal to $6.00 would allow us to know the menu in advance. After discussion it was decided to leave the meal as is for now.

Because some people took more than one serving of meat, the meat ran out before everyone was served, and more had to be prepared. Someone suggested having a meat server. It was decided to wait for one more meeting to see how things work out.

The possibility of having standing reservations was discussed, or having the people collecting the money ask if the person wanted a reservation for the next meeting. The committee decided that it would work better for this group to continue to call each month.

Seating arrangements for today’s meeting did not work out well The sound system is set up for speakers from the stage. Sallie Jenkins suggested sitting at the front on the right side facing the stage. Bill Pearce suggested sitting in chairs for the meeting and moving to the tables for the meal. The group decided to move to the front for the next meeting and see how well that works. We also agreed to ask Barbara to talk to the caterer about not putting things out until 11:45, in order to minimize distracting noise and to have food hot when we eat.

Neighborhood Get-together:

Bill asked if there was interest in having a table for Adults Plus! when we invite the community to visit. The committee agreed to participate and Wes Soule is in charge of getting participants to be at the table that day

Pass it on festival:

This festival cannot be held as originally scheduled because of the reception for Ron Robinson on May 4. This item was tabled until Bill can talk to Barbara.

There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
