General Meeting Jan. 18th 2009
Held at Talent Fire Station. Hosted
by Carol Heisel.
Brought to
order by Lynita Zajack (pres.) @ 2:00 pm
1. Ray Foster (treasurer) gave an update of show proceeds.
The Clayfolk Show was down 4.99% but
since the previous year had a large increase this number represents a very modest decrease
considering the current economic times. This does indicate that we need to be conservative with our finances as we head into next
year’s show.
New address for
Clayfolk business.
