White Parrot Raffle and the 50/50 raffle were combined the first ticket drawn got the $40.00 from the 50/50 and the next ticket drawn got their choice from the items in the White Parrot donation and so on until all items were gone. We put the two raffles together because of the low turn out for the meeting due in part to the inclement weather.

ACS Relay for Life - We have notified the local ACS Relay committee that we do not intend to have a "campsite" as a participating relay team at this year's Port Huron event. We will attend both the Port Huron and East China Relay's, do some laps and make a donation to each one as was adopted at the January meeting.

The Key West Rendezvous is scheduled for Saturday April 3rd.at Hollister'z in Port Huron. The raffle tickets are 3 for $10 or $5 a piece.

We do have our raffle license and an update has been sent to the Michigan Lottery Charitable Gaming Division to change the date to April 3rd. We should have the raffle tickets in the next couple of days and begin distributing them.

The Port Huron Figure Skating Club provided a flyer about an opportunity to earn community service hours for selling tickets to their March 27, 2010 event in Port Huron. As these points really apply to students we tabled the item without further action. If you are interested in participating please contact Pryia Krishen at 810-488-1970.

The club logo needs to be converted to a digital format that will allow us to enlarge it and not lose the detail of the logo when used on shirts, banners, flyers and so on. Jim Howard is pursuing a couple of options to have this done. We voted to use the cheapest method that will yield the results we desire.
