Reports
• We have two new business members.
• Peggy Kasten has a new address and phone number.
• We're looking for ideas on how to cover financial losses for such events as high bus-rental costs and hall-rental costs when we're snowed out. Another problem is the increased cost of postage.
• We've been testifying on various bills before the state legislature. Beth and Harry have testified on several bills, and Spence Coleman submitted a written testimony on two. Harry and Bill Anderson volunteered to help Beth with all that has to be done during the rest of the session. She noted that even some legislators don't always understand their own bills, so we should educate them.
Old Business
• Beth wants us to be involved with the May 2 Governor's Conference on Aging. She'll get more information and wants ideas for presentation.
• Nominations are needed for the upcoming BCASCO election. Harry and Dr. Mabel Murray will be involved with the awarding of two scholarships at our June 9 annual luncheon. We should consider more than just academic achievement; e.g., community involvement. Harry will send a letter to schools.
New Business
• For the June 9 annual luncheon Harry volunteered to make arrangements. Bill will arrange for live music.
• Future meetings were discussed. The November meeting will be on Nov. 17 rather than Nov. 10.
• Bill passed out some useful information for board members. Debbie passed out info on and discussed the new Medicare prescription drug plan.
• The meeting adjourned at 12:10 p.m.
