Review of Egg Hunt -
Can Someone create a Google Doc to leave in the Egg Hunt file for next year -
Ginny took notes
We don’t need to buy more eggs, gold coins or rope next year. We can reuse all those next year
Flyers from this year can be reused as they don’t have dates on them
Maybe a porta potty? - Big expense for a 1 hour event
After conversation with board decided no porta potty
Board members can use their homes or perhaps Emily’s? Emily's house cannot be an option because the event is too large. With 300-400 people in attendance, the event is far too large for Emily's home to accommodate.
No dogs! - Denver City Ordinance states “No Dogs on School Properties”
Put info for “No Dogs” at the event
No bubble gum
