A. Summer Meeting Schedule/Summer Activities
After extensive discussion, it was decided that the Committee would
participate in Palm Desert's "Summer of Fun" concert series by handing out
fans, giving directions, providing general information, etc. to concert
attendees. Vice Chair McQuillen requested that Pat Scully send the
membership a schedule of the concert dates with a request that members
contact her to let her know which dates they will assist.
The June meeting will be rescheduled to Monday, June 6th to accommodate
the seniors' schedule. Dinner will be catered by City Wok at the beginning
of the meeting.
Member Talboys suggested that it might be beneficial to meet over the

was asked to agendize a summer meeting schedule, as well as a possible
all day "brainstorming" meeting for discussion at the June meeting.
