Rhizome Sale Report from sale chairperson Carol Addeo. Another year of a lot of work by a lot of members. Thank you everyone! We got the job accomplished again this year with no major problems.
I guess by now we know how to do this. The sale was a big success. The quality of the rhizomes was very good, the work load was much more manageable, and we had fewer rhizomes left over for grab bags.
A big thank you to everyone who helped with our sale, especially those many members who showed up the Sunday before the sale to clean, and trim and to those who showed up the following Monday at my home to label. Thanks to Alverta, who spent many hours answering questions and solving problems during the sale preparation Friday. What was especially nice is we were able to accomplish the sale organizing on Thursday and Friday in two half day sessions. Thanks to Bob for delivering and returning the tables on Saturday morning. Thanks to Pete and Swede for the use of their vehicles to haul the rhizomes and supplies.
The stone soup supper on Friday evening was a great success and the after sale party at Billie's patio was also really nice. Thanks Betty Ann for bringing the food.
It's Their Birthday!!....Let's Give 'Em a Cheer!!!
No birthdays to report for August. Happy birthday to Heidi Martin, September 11th; and Roger Muir, September 17th. Have a happy birthday all.

Minutes of Meeting:
SATURDAY, July 7, 2012 Meeting called to order at 7:40 P.M. by Ed Verplancke at the home of Jim and Linda Sadler. Ed asked if the minutes were read, that would be the May Minutes, as there was not a June meeting. Ed, approved the May Minutes as printed in the news letter.
Treasurer Report: Was printed in the News letter Ron made a motion that the Treasurer's report be approved as printed and Bob seconded the motion, motion carried that minutes be approved as printed..
New Business: Jim Sadler, Swede and Betty Ann Gustafson, met on the possibility of a Scholarship for students, as it's not in the budget, it was decided not to go ahead with it at this time. Discussion followed. It would have had to be an item line in the budget for us to do it this year and it is to late now to get involved. Jim submitted the young mans info to other groups and he did not quality at this time.
Ed suggested that if we do a scholarship or donation it would be best to give to schools a $25 or $50 amount, as it would be a big amount for them. Jim said that if we do anything chose a school and give to a student for a good citizenship award. Ron thought giving to a student or school for gardening. The FFA is always looking for money to help. This could be further discussed when setting our budget for next year.
Donna stated that anyone who got a blue ribbon at the show will be getting a new rhizome at the lunch after the sale, this year.
We have a new member Jean Garrard, everyone welcome her.
Alverta nominated Ann Violet for RVP of our district. Roger seconded.
Old Business: Annual Rhizome sale is Saturday, July 28th for 9:00 am to 1:00 pm at Fort Missoula.
There will be a digging, sorting and labeling party the Sunday before the sale at the fort July 22nd from 8 or 9 am until noon or 1 pm. Bring pitch forks, shovels, chairs, clippers and water. Not sure what there is to dig there or how much, so it could be a short day.
Cashiers are needed; Cindy, Judy and Pete have agreed to be cashiers. Others are needed, show up to the sale and we will put you to work.
Judy will bring homemade donuts, Alverta will bring her large coffee pot and coffee. Cindy will bring bottled water. Judy will check with Betty Ann about anything else that might be needed. Bob will pick up the tables about 7:45. Be at the fort for setup by 7:30 am for setup. See June News letter for additional information on where to drop off you Rhizomes, labeling and sorting etc.
Linda Sadler won the June Presidential rhizome and Alverta won the July presidential rhizome, Billie Gray won the May Presidential Rhizome. Meeting adjourned. Submitted by Cindy Davis, Secretary.
It is noted that Linda had previously won a presidential rhizome in March. So a June drawing will be held after set up and prior to the rhizome sale on the 28th of July. So that gives you all a reason to be there to help.
Bob made a motion to adjourn the meeting and Donna seconded. Meeting adjourned.
