| Our first guest is Guy DeSerio from the Boy Scout troop 619: Guy is asking for their re-charter fees of $1570.00, they are very well equipped in their gear and aren't in immediate need of anything other than the re-charter fees. Last year we donated over $6000 for their fees and equipment so they aren't looking for any more than that. Motion by Steve, 2nd by Josh to approve the re-charter fees. Motion carried. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Scott Fridly reported their comedy night was a success, they managed to raise $530 towards the fields. He feels that it was a good event, and now that they've done it once they've learned a lot and hopefully can have an even more successful event in the future. | ||||||||||||||||||||

| Scott had a request through Crusader Clinic, the Dr and patient are both from Rockton. A local woman needs a retina re-attached, it is the result of domestic abuse. She has a charity donating the funds, but she has to come up with the first $2000, which is what she is asking us for. Motion by Steve P 2nd by Dan, to donate $2000.00 based on Scott's research that she won't be liable for more than that amount and that the surgery has a high % chance of success. Motion carried, Rachel approved. | ||||||||||||||||||||
