The age groups are: ages 12 and under, 13-17 and 18 and above. Rod would rather we not do the water balloon contest because of the difficulty of getting some of the balloons to break and then we have to spend too much time picking up the broken balloon pieces.

Rose Klein needs to order more squirt guns to give out to all the kids. Rose will take care of cooking the hot dogs and bringing chips, condiments and napkins. Rose will also contact L&W Garbage Service and Hy-Vee for door prizes. Brodey Weber will make signs for the Pool Party and contact Super Saver for buns and water donations and Schilling Bridge for a door prize. Rod Hubbard will get a donations from West Gate Bank and ice from U-Stop. Jennifer Hellwege will contact Coke for pop donations and Hacienda Real for a door prize.

Brodey Weber set a deadline of July 2 for articles for the newsletter. He is working with Katie at Eagle Printing on the newsletter. We will want to advertise the Pool Party, the Fall Garage Sales.
