3. Adoption of Minutes
Moved by Jonathan Taylor, seconded by Denis Keane
That the minutes of the meeting of April 2025 be approved. Carried
4. Clothing sales discussed from the Spring Fling.
With having low sales and needing to put funds back into the bank, a discount or drop in
price was discussed. We'll be looking at what our costs were and devising a plan for sale
without much profit on what remains.
5. Costumes were brought to the table.
We are out 5 blow up Gingerbread costumes due to damage and not being returned. Cailley
put forth a max budget of $1000 to purchase new costumes and replace some of the old,
outdated ones we still have from years ago.
Motion put forth by Cailley, seconded by Denis all in favour, passed unanimous.
6. Buttons
Buttons will be bringing back the old Santa for a year. Jonathan will see what he can come
up with. Will bring some examples next meeting and be voted on from there. Also discussed was
how many buttons to order. We'll be looking at the difference in price between 3000 and 3500 so as
not to have many left over after the parade.
7. Pancake Breakfast.
We now have a sponsor for this event. We will be looking into different venues for it and
possibly some other things to bring in for the kids such as face painting.
8. Discussion on member for missing consecutive meetings and no communication.
Mia Mansi was voted off the committee.
Motion called by Jonathan Taylor, seconded by Denis Keane. All in favor present, carried.
9. Sponsorship
Denis is to take this on throughout town. Ron will be asked to do downtown as he did last
year. We are starting this prior to pancake breakfast, starting mid June, so we may advertise
our local supporters earlier and say thank you at the pancake breakfast also.
