Proposed Budget was also presented: Discussion of certain line items: Spring meeting: Last year canceled; this year’s budget $2000
Honey Queen Program/Promotion: Amount spent $3,324 was for hats and shirts, and chef’s fee for the honey cooking exhibit at the fair. There is no honey queen program.
Agriculture in the Classroom. Amount spent $96 for educational materials, generally at the State Fair. Discussion that the catego- ry is confusing given there is a formal Ag in the Classroom pro- gram funded by automobile specialty tag sales:
http://www.flagintheclassroom.com/ Suggestion that the catego- ry be renamed to simply Beekeeping Educational Materials.
Discussion of State Fair activities. Given the timing, it is difficult to get expenses and income for fair in same fiscal year, resulting in confusion. It is better to look at “event” income and expenses as provided by the Treasurer above. Discussion of transparency; the membership has little idea about how the honey is purchased and what happens at the Fair. More transparency is needed espe- cially when it comes to purchasing honey to sell to the public. This is handled by Bert and volunteers; high quality is essential.
Motion by Gayle Prevatt that the membership be notified with reference to selling honey at the fair and some kind of bidding process be implemented. Seconded by Ellen Hutson. A hand vote showed 19 for and 32 against. Motion did not pass.
David Webb moved that the question of how to handle these honey sales be given to a committee so that a reasonable policy could be implemented. Seconded by Bert Gwaltney. Passed.
Brendhan Horne moved the Treasurer’s report be accepted as de- livered. Seconded by Laurence Cutts. Passed.
