OLD BUSINESS
SPRING BREAK BREAKFAST – Dee Stuart
Dee said she had spoken with Principal, Tammy Alexander, who said that there are at least 30 children that needed food during the Spring break period. Dee said that she and Kathy would be going to Leeker’s to purchase peanut butter, jelly, bread, etc. Notes will be sent home with the children explaining that since the school is closed for Spring break, there will be no breakfasts or free lunches served at the school. Instead, supplies for peanut butter & jelly sandwiches will be sent home with students from Pride. Dee said she will also contact the mobile home parks to see about children there that live in Park City but attend Valley Center schools. They will be included in this project as well.
BUILDING CLEAN-UP – Carol Flower
Anyone wishing to stay after the meeting and help clean the kitchen and tables are most certainly welcome. This building needs cleaned on a more regular basis. We also need to plan a paint party because the walls are pretty dirty.
NEW BUSINESS
CHISHOLM TRAIL CHARGE RACE – Dee Stuart
She has the website up and working. Dee is currently trying to find a vendor that can laser etch the logo on the medallions.
MOVIES IN THE PARK – Darrell Wilcox
Darrell said the he has received $1,300 in commitments and a check for $150 will be coming soon. He still needs $195 to pay for the movies. He went to the Park Board meeting regarding the old road bed. It needs filled in to allow for more seating for the movies. The movie schedule is:
- 05/26 – Zookeeper
- 06/23 – Adventures of Tin Tin
- 07/28 – Hugo
- 08/25 – Judy, Moody, and the Not Bummer Summer
Discussion was held about the number of people that would attend and the amount of supplies that would be needed for the refreshments. It was decided that when the supplies for each night were gone, then the refreshment stand would be closed. Jane said that having a different Pride member in charge for each movie worked out really well last year. Darrell provided a list of the businesses that donated towards the movies and asked that anyone that was soliciting donations for concession stand supplies please not contact them. John Leeker will advertise the movies in his weekly ads. Watch out for big crowds! He also said he would be willing to help with any other needed expenses. Jane Warren will be in charge of refreshments again this year.
