Thanks everyone for coming! I am glad Monica had a chance to meet you all. So this time our eyes did not start burning, but it was a bit noisy… Karolynn has requested we meet next time at the library.

Update on Spellbinder Fundraising:
We will be getting an update on the Fundraiser and more soon.
The Board of Trustees met on Tuesday and minutes will be posted when I get them..
All I know so far is that there is a proposal for a grant writer.
David suggested that our SRC could do more to grow Spellbinders beyond Colorado. I will bring this to the SRC.
