OLD BUSINESS
Median Show Schedule: The median show schedule for May 18, 2013 was passed out to members who were present. The theme is The Sweet Fragrances of Spring. The show will be at J C Penny's Court from 10 a.m. - 6:30 p.m. Judges for the show will be Swede, Alverta, Ann, Cindy, Roger, Lynn and Jim. Head judge is Gary Clark.
The main show schedule should be available at the next meeting. Alverta Symes is the head judge. We will not have an outside judge this year, we will use our own judges so they get the added experience. Classes are needed for judges. We will see if Ann Violette would lead a class.
For our website, we should list Ann Violette as RVP and Garden Judge, Alverta Symes as a Master judge, remove Billie Gray as a judge and add Donna Dowell as a Student Judge.
Meeting location sheet was passed around to try to fill the vacant spots for hosts. After some discussion, the June meeting will be hosted by Gary Clark unless Fred Frey is able to host. A motion was made by Donna, seconded by Fred to skip a formal July meeting and have a brief meeting get-together at the Fort Gardens digging site on July
