Gang busters!!!! As of Sunday we are in the black. See hand out. Ira made a comment about too many parents working the lot without their scout. He feels that this is not appropriate. Some trees selling better than others. See handout. Ira has requested additional funds to purchase more wreaths and stands, he requested $450.00 more. He also has asked if he should buy a larger wreath and stand size. Lee Edwards motioned to give Ira an additional $500.00 for the purchase of wreaths and stands. Mark Saldivar 2nd. All in favor, motion passes.

Two announcements:

A. Please donÆt leave customers unattended. Butter up the customer and help them to make their decision on the purchase.
