Committee Reports:
Old Business:
The Board discussed having a fundraiser at the Rotary Fest or at the Elk Grove Parade to
raise money for WINGS, the Domestic Violence Shelter.
The Village Newsletter put in information about the Cell Phone Program offered by
Charitable Recycling. Cell phones are sent to this organization. If there is any cash
value, they send that money to WINGS. One problem we are running into is Charitable
Recycling only accepts phones, not the accessories. Linda is looking into finding a way
to dispose of the accessory items. President Morrill suggested giving them to Motorola.
Last month we discussed having a booth at Rotary Fest, which is June 15 - June 19, 2005.
Linda spoke with the Rotary Club to set this up and they wanted to know whether we
were interested in a 10 X 20 tent or something smaller. The Board agreed for a smaller
space. The Board needs to determine our purpose(i.e. information, fundraiser). A
suggestion for a fundraiser was to sell bracelets.
The proposed dates and times that we would need to be available at the Rotary Fest
would be:
June 17'h from 6:30 p.m. - 9:30 p.m.
June 18`s from mid-afternoon until 9:30 p.m.
June 19s' from mid-afternoon until 9:30 p.m.
We discussed putting the tent by Alexian Brothers.
It was recommended that a sub-committee be formed to discuss this further. Georgia
Landt agreed to head up the Committee with Ann Feichter, Desmond Raferty and
President Morrill joining as members.
Des Rafey informed us that $300 has been donated to WINGS Domestic Violence
Shelter for presentations that he has done.
Linda tried to identify all the active military personnel in Elk Grove, but it appears to be
difficult. Georgia Landt suggested asking the residents for this information on the Water
bill. We also need to remember the National Guard and Reserves. Linda tried to find out
how many Elk Grove residents were serving in the National Guard, but she didn't receive
this information.

Linda had contact with Georgette Frank, the mother of the first Elk Grove war casualty.
She is involved in a group that assists the families of other service people and may be a
resource for this project idea.
