Program
Mike Howard in his capacity as head of the Pipe and Drape Committee presented at today's meeting.  He was ably assisted by Deb Hodapp from Camp Confidence and Reed Campbell.  Not only did the group show us how simple it is to put up pipe and drape but reminded us . . . "to come late, to leave early, but to just show up for set-ups and take-downs."  Mike also quoted Rick Besmehn who once said, "We don't sell Tootsie Rolls, we do Pipe and Drape."  This enterprise brings in about $28,000 a year, 10% of which goes to Camp Confidence which handles all the details.

This brought us to Deb's part of the program.  She is the contact person who handles bills, schedules the show dates, receive the payments, keeps the records and forwards the money to the Sertoma treasurer.  She was very enthusiastic about this year as it should show a marked  improvement in proceeds due to the growth of a couple of the shows.  First set-up is at Rolfings on 17th-20th.  Set up is the 17th after 5:00 p.m.
