Old Business:
- Peach Update
- Payment for 173 boxes was mailed on July 1st ($3,979).
- Final spreadsheets and payment for peaches were turned in today.
- We made our goal and have sold 231 boxes. Way to go, crew! A few final orders are trickling in.
- Tish - Update and Proposals Regarding Peach Delivery
- Tish said that the orchard expects to deliver the peaches at the end of August or early September.
- Tish suggested we make thank-you messages to tape onto each box of peaches before delivering. Shelly will work on making those in August.
- Tish also found out that the Peachfork sells apples and pears. She wondered if we wanted to add a message to the thank-you notes that says, “Let us know if you are interested in ordering apples or pears!” We are to spend this month thinking about it and vote on it at the August 15th meeting.
- Peach Spreadsheets for Delivery in August - will be passed out August 15th meeting.
- Teamwork needed for delivering peaches! Regarding delivery, Tish asked if everyone in the club would be willing to work as a team to help deliver all of the boxes of peaches.
- We agreed to meet in Hot Sulphur Springs where the truck will bring the peaches.
- We’ll work together to deliver peaches to HSS people first. Then we’ll divide the rest for delivery in Granby and Kremmling areas.
- Horse trailers, large trucks with covered beds are desired for the big day!
- Tish is going to ask the orchard to give us a heads-up a few days before the big deliver day, so we can all work to adjust our schedules.
- Gymkhana Concessions - Donated food or items need to be at concessions stand by 9:45 a.m.
New Business:
- The club voted to have our club secretary, Julie, send thank-you letters to the editors of Grand Gazette and Sky Hi News for everyone who supported our club and bought Palisade peaches and Kum & Go booklets.
- September Code of the West Cloverbud Camp in Granby?
- Tish said that the Granby Chamber of Commerce is very interested in our club Jr. Leaders conducting a Code of the West camp on Saturday, September 13th.
- Tish has a contact name - needs to ask if the Chamber would handle registration
