III. Committee Reports

A. Picnic (Bridget):

Next Picnic Date: October 8, 2016; Bridget booked Broadbent Park.

Bridget was not pleased with the DJ for the picnic. He is not licensed to operate in Boulder City and left before the balloons were done—actually did not do any balloons. He also left before the take-down. Bridget plans to contract with “Sky Jumpers” for next year as they are licensed for Boulder City. For an additional $45.00, Sky Jumpers will provide our choice of a popcorn machine or a cotton candy machine. The group wants the cotton candy machine.

Claudia suggested we start planning the chili cook-off. It is scheduled for February. Claudia will talk with Libby.
