Minutes/Treasurer’s Report – Gene motioned to approve the minutes and treasurer’s report from May; Neal seconded it with all in favor.
Subcommittees –
Beautification has not met recently.
Recreation is working on festival.
Economic Development distributed the senior mailboxes.
Fundraisers – 3 on 3 tourney is coming up July 2nd. Neal will need help w/volunteers the day of the event. E-mail Neal w/names for volunteers for that day & he’ll follow up. CBA will sell drinks. They authorized Jen Turpin to spend $300 on advertising. Gene has sent flyers to KRES and other places regarding the July 4th parade, the 3 on 3 tourney as well as the Fall Festival.
Fall Festival – This is rolling along.
Tax Exempt Status – Kathy will meet with Paul Richards in July to address this.
July 4th – The parade will be July 2nd.
Job Fair – There was not a lot of attendance – about 20 people and 13 exhibitors. Cost $300 for the hall & $360 for food & the exhibitor fees brought in $360 so this was a loss to the CBA of $300. Jackie suggested we do this every 5 years.
Biggest Loser Competition – Congratulations to Monroe City who won this challenge over Palmyra. We lost 416 pounds. Celebration will be at St. Jude’s park on Saturday, June 18th at 10 a.m. The cost is $408 ($200 for prize money & $208 for balloons). Anyone who can attend is encouraged to show up at 9:30 a.m. to blow up balloons.
Downtown Revitalization – Jackie provided information on “Get Plugged in downtown” which is a Missouri Main Streets conference. This would be beneficial if this is something the CBA plans to pursue.
