With this grant, she would like assistance from the CBA in presenting an educational program to the schools as well as possibly assisting her with the distribution of the recycling containers. She has a meeting with the Mark Twain Regional Solid Waste District the week of August 8th and will find out additional information at that point.
CBA Contest – We had planned to present our Fall Festival as our project for this year’s awards ceremony. However, due to time constraints and scheduling we have decided not to do it this year.

Membership – Neal requested that all CBA members attend the next meeting and bring a future member with them. Our last several meetings we have only had about 4 people in attendance. If we are only going to have half show up, we might as well double our board size to 16 and hopefully 8 will show up. At that point we could also have elections for officers.
