SPEAKER(S):
Mike Swensen led a discussion and "de-briefing" on the Pancake Breakfast.  The placemat ads were a huge success this year.  The raffle baskets were eliminated and this seemed to work better; lots of work to put together for not much return.  Raised $3,200 net.  Checks were disbursed to:  Interact, Pine Bush Youth Football League, Relay for Life, the Pine Bush Academies, and our club.

Phil Steinberg also spoke to us about the Pine Bush school budget- "we have to do more with substantially less."  120 jobs have been eliminated and if things continue the next step may be to close entire buildings in the district.  Costs are up significantly, but the budget is still being cut.  The Governor spends more to incarcerate than to educate.
