Minutes – Accounting Documents
Minutes of the June 2010 meeting were approved as revised. Although Herndon was not present, Josserand indicated that only one check had been written in the last month.
Policies & Procedure Committee – Josserand
Josserand called the board’s attention to the draft trip refund policy which had been previously distributed. Rather than take up time during this meeting, Josserand requested people review the policy and get back to him with any questions or suggestions.
Friends of Hiratsuka & Hiratsuka 20th Anniversary Exchange – Hilliard
Hilliard updated the board on the status of the 20th anniversary exchange, and the upcoming visit by Hiratsuka youth.
Friends of Iniades & KU Theater Connection– Hyler
The board discussed and decided to participate with the KU Theatre department for a special production of The Trojan Women. We will send out a "save the date" email in late July and a more detailed invitation in August. Christilles will present a brief overview prior to the production, and the board will supply "birthday food" (cup cakes or cookies and non-alcoholic drinks) for a reception following the play. A table should be table set up with membership information.
Friends of Eutin – Albrecht
Ken Albrecht introduced Jason Crawford who was the trip coordinator for the Eutin trip. Crawford reviewed the recent Eutin trip and briefed the board about his experiences during the trip. Jason may return to future board meeting to provide additional information.
