Discussions:

Scholarships
1.  Arlan revised the process to determine scholarship winners and created a simpler tally sheet than last year. Board members will use this process for 2005. 
2.  Possibly it is time to develop a scholarship program for students returning to school or already in qualified programs in local colleges. 
3.  Follow-up confirmations should be made to student applicants and their school counseling offices when application is received.
4.  Expand efforts to reach students by using radio and TV websites for 2006.
5.  Student application is missing space for city.

Fundraiser
1.  The fundraiser will be more geared toward couples.
2.  We will hire a band.
3.  Tentative schedule:  Event will begin with the shoot at noon with raffles, prizes and other activities during the afternoon.  We will have silent and live auctions plus raffles like the previous two years. Dinner/Dance ticket and/or cover charge will include raffle chances for items geared toward couples.  Hog roast dinner begins late afternoon.  Band to start by 7:00 pm.  Event to end around 11:00 pm to allow time for clean-up.  To identify paid participants, colored wrist bands could be used.  We will ask the Club to set up outside bars and sell all alcoholic beverages.
4.  We will send hog roast/dance tickets to fire departments and ambulance services possibly to increase participation of EMS & firefighters.

Board Resignations
Resignations were accepted for Cara Correll & Brian Edwards.  The Board would like to continue to get input from Brian as we develop training and grant programs if Brian would be willing.  We thank these members for their service and will miss them.
