Short meeting @ Christmas Party

3. Treasurer’s report- Jackie Gerrick. After expenses, current balance is $1,975.73. Report stands.
4. Old Business:
   1. Cookbook report- Lisa Slater and Jackie Gerrick.

• 3-ring binder books cost $8.20; can sell for $11-13
• Spiral binder books cost $4.40; can sell for $8-10
• Minimums are 100 books with 150 recipes; recipe/culture notes cost additional $0.25 each, but if we type in the books ourselves, we save that .25.
• Turnaround time is about 30 days for production.

Vote was taken to go ahead with this project, and to get the spiral bound book.

For our January meeting, Jackie will get a firm price from the company and we will set an upper limit on our budget for it.

Each person send in 6-7 recipes apiece to Pam or Jackie, specify the category (appetizer, dessert, etc.), and number them all in order of priority for the book in case we get too many (#1-favorite, #7 can leave out). Recipes need to be turned in by March.

1. Block quilt report- Lisa. We need about 15 more blocks done to finish the quilt. At the January meeting, we will schedule a get-together and paint more blocks.
1. New Business:
   1. Think about who could teach the November wreath workshop.
   2. Plant Sale ideas for promotion-Charlene suggested using a Gator-type ATV downtown for promotion (subject to Big Gust Days & Village rules). Susan Augustson does have a mini-donkey we could use with a signboard, too. Tabled until January meeting.
2. Meeting adjourned at 8:15 pm.
