TREASURER'S REPORT

Wreath sales directly correlate to the amount of credit we give out to the boys. We need to evaluate what we do every year.

MISC.

December Court of Honor includes a Potluck. Each family will be asked to bring a dish to share. We decided due to Band conflict to move the Potluck to 7 PM. Details will follow.

Wreath Sales are down----still time to sell for second delivery. SELL SELL SELL!!!
