May 15th Meeting Notes

Announcements:

• At the recent Board Meeting, it was determined that the fee structure will be modified to a flat fee of $90.00 per quarter with no separate sitting fees- everything will be combined.  There is discussion to consider abandoning the blue cups.  Finally, the Board is looking at restructuring the committees from 18 to 6.  Please look for a quick survey in your email box about these upcoming changes.
