Minutes from the June 5, 2006 Meeting
President Susan R called the meeting to order at 7:12pm.
Susan thanked everyone for their hard work with the plant sale. Many members brought a large amount of plants, thank you. The member plants and the UWRF plants looked great this year. It seemed that the club had a good sale this year. The bulk of the sales were from 9-10am. Susan gave a special thank-you to Ron Z, Mark and Cathy J, Michelle B and Kim K for donating native plants for the White Pathway.
As there were no additions or correction to the May minutes as printed in the June newsletter, Judy J made a motion to accept the minutes, seconded by Betty S. Motion passed.
