 * III. – Committee Reports**

A. Membership Updates – Cindy Boegly The July meeting will be the first one of their three year term for new Board Members Marijane Barbone, Jim Beam and Pat Duffy. Since our regular Board Meeting room will not be available in July, I suggest we hold the meeting at an offsite location (on July 9 as mentioned below) and not conduct a wiki format. We can then conduct the August meeting in the wiki format.

B. Alumni - Mark Constable & Karen Pflug-Felder Joyce Snyder and Judith Metzger will represent the Class of 1964 at graduation. Karen has made the arrangements for gowns with Rhonda Asher and has e-mailed Dr. Miller about including them in his remarks. Dr. Miller said that he did not know whether he would be speaking at graduation but would see that they were mentioned. - Jeff Vermuth (MHS 67/retired MSD educator) has agreed to help with organizing/planning Alumni activities - C. Communication/Publicity – Janice Herman

D. Fund Development/Partnerships - Janeen Marzewski & Patricia Thomas-LaRoche EITC Update: The annual report for the Star Bright Program was submitted. A proposal for the new program: Moveable Environmental Lab was submitted and awaiting approval. Planetarium Shows: 50 people attend the Friday night Star Bright presentation and 10 people attended the adult star talk. Participants included Roger Zacharia, Ambler Bank sponsor. Participants manipulated the iPads searching the universe. A very successful evening.

E. Allocations/Mini Grants – Janeen Marzewski The MHS Music Dept. request $1,000 for new equipment. The committe reviewed and approved the request. The Board approved this allocation. The Music Dept. wil purchase the equipment throught the school district and we will reimburse the district upon receipt. JM

F. Publicity - Janice Herman I have been in contact with Angela Linch. At this point I have met with people on my committee and we have brain-stormed wording, etc. for the brochure. We have several pictures now to use from the events that we have run and hope to have a draft for our next meeting to show all of you. I must apologize for not having something for you to view - due to my vacation and an illness and death in our family I have been out of touch with Angela, etc. By next week I hope to be back on this project so that we have a rough draft to show at the next meeting in June. Thanks for your patience! (JGH)

Currently we have (2) committed houses for the tour, and (2) more in the works. Ideally we would like (5) homes and possibly a church or historical property for the tour. We will update each month. Of course, if anyone knows of a homeowner, particularly in Lower Providence, that might be interested in being a part of our tour, please let us know.

 * ACCOUNTING** - I have contacted my neighbors about the possibility of them helping with the accounting. They have asked for more detailed info on what would be expected of them and what the "job" might entail. Pat, Judy and Mark if you could come up with some info for me to show my neighbors (retired accountants) I can get an answer for you. THANKS! JGH I have someone who has offered to help (she's a CPA and has children in the district). I've attempted to set up a meeting with her and Judy in the past.
