Cinco de Mayo report – smaller turnout this year than last year; could be weather, could be day of the week, etc. Approx. 40 families attended, all seemed to enjoy their time. Suzanne will create Google doc for this event – need to work on centralizing all documents for the events.
Speaker Event – Safety report – Light turn-out (11 people). Might be more interest in fall or winter. Speakers are also available for individual ECFE classes. Good feedback from people who attended. Will try to do it again in fall or winter. Also requests for CPR class – maybe combine?
Vehicle Day – Saturday, June 5 10am – 1pm – we got the trolley!! Plus lots of other great vehicles. Elise will do the shopping and drop stuff off with Kori. Sue got feedback last year that Tot Lot at Sabbathani was a real mess – we will have some volunteers sweep the lot ahead of time this year. Note from Christy – next year we need to coordinate with Tony on take kids fishing day so it doesn’t conflict.
