the event. Terrye also arranged for the “Reptile Guy” to come and provide
entertainment.
During this discussion, the concept
of how CBCA markets events like this and others was discussed. Maria Buehler suggested the use of Email to
reach our members which we have had problems with in the past because of
anti-spamming programs. Maria suggested
that we look at developing mail lists using third party email providers such as
one she uses called MailChimp (www.mailchimp.com).

A motion was made and the board

County Government and that further review would be given regard our
participation in that group.

have any individual opinions regarding this to please pursue those on their
own.
