Old Business:

• Holiday Shop - how much money did we take in from the Holiday shop? It was really busy and seemed like everything went over well.  We had to go back and get more items everyday. We are not sure how much we brought in in total.  We are still waiting on all expenses and total money brought in before we have settled up. Will have a total by next meeting. Should we make any changes for next year?? How many kids did we sponsor this year??  Next year, let’s add to the envelope a spot to donate for kids who couldn’t bring in their own money.  We definitely ran out of bags.

New Business:
