*March 20, 530 pm - Relay for Life Captains Meeting.  Julie Johnson will be representing us in our partner effort with the ARC.  Contact her if you want to help!  Only have 3 people committed to walk that weekend - Michael, Brian, and Chris.  Let me know if you'll make it!

*Saturday March 31 at 900 am - Adopt A Highway.  Shouldn't take more than 2-3 hours for a great cause!  let me know if you can help ASAP!

*April 21 - Battle of the Bands - Contact Debbie Lawson for more details about this event - all bands are required that at least half of their members still be in high school or younger!

*Saturday May 12 - Clean Up Green Up for our Adopt a Flower Garden plot in the City Park.  Stop by and check out our early blossoms!

*Last Saturday in May - Young Engineers and Scientists fair at Marietta College - great opportunity to spark an interest in a young person!

Old Business - Brian helped out at the Noah's Arc Thrift Shop clean up on Sunday March 12, getting first dibs on their greatest donations! 

New Business - discussed fancy, eye catching, professional looking brochures vs. cheap nice photocopy-able brochures.  Cost from Sir Speedy is ~$280 for 1000 of the gorgeous brochures designed by Salter and Associates.  Great price, but still uses up ~1/3 of our total budget - quite a lot for one project that doesn't contribute to the community.  No decision finalized.

That's it!  See you at Adopt A Highway!!!!!!
