Tickets will be sold on-line. Seating depends on layout of room. The
committee is starting to work on graphics, promotions, and sponsorships.
VI. New Business
A. i Pads
Children's room computers are 7 years old. The plan is to replace the
computers with 4 I pads. The Trustees discussed the possibility of
new I pads vs. refurbished
I pads. It was noted that refurbished I pads have a good reputation.

Trustees passed a motion to take funds from the copier account to
purchase the refurbished I pads.
