V. Standing Committees
a. Membership: No report
b. Fundraising
• Snack Shack Update: Slots are filled for remainder of baseball season. Marcia suggested that next year we revisit not hosting men’s league. Compared to last year. This year’s numbers are lower, possibly because we are missing out on what the families buy during men’s league. Candy sales in particular are significantly lower. Anna made a special recognition of Karen Sibert’s willingness to fill in on a lot of last minute slots for the snack shack.
• Holiday Auction Committee: Will meet on Monday 8/18 to begin planning.
• Bluesapalooza Recap: The event was very successful, and a lot of fun. Although it is not official, the general sense is that MLWC will be invited back next year. MLWC bar sold double what has been sold in past years. Thank you notes for non-club members who helped out and to Mammoth Brewery are in the process of being sent.
c. Social
• September Meeting: District ladies are coming to meeting which will be September 10 at Marcia’s house. Meeting will start at 5:00 and conclude by 5:45, after which a scavenger hunt will take place. Scavenger hunt will be related to Women’s club and Womens Club purpose. Teams for scavenger hunt will consist of 3-4 including a district lady. Activities will involve driving around town to look for/collect/photograph certain items. Potluck dinner will follow scavenger hunt. Marcia will make pork roast. Members are asked to bring something from the MLWC cookbook. Leisha will send sign-up genius for potluck dishes.
• October Meeting: Anna will host. Susi, Rhonda & Leisha will co host.
