MEMORIAL WREATH

Sean Habina presented the chapter wreath at the Memorial Day ceremony and has recovered it for future use.



TREASURER'S REPORT

Treasurer Alan Beaty gave the treasurer’s report.  Alan reported that the operating expenditures for the year to date are on track with the projected budget.  The chapter has received the first quarter reimbursement from national AFA.

Community partners

A general discussion was held on the manner in which the chapter and national AFA track the status of chapter community partners (CPs).  The current method of National passing community partner yearly renewals through the chapter CP VP is inefficient and does not appear to be effective.  The chapter VP will work with the chapter senior staff to develop and forward to national suggestions on changes to the system.   OPEN ITEM
