informing us that the Ricky Amundson Foundation has made a donation of$500 to the
Housing Fund, another $500 worth of Jewel gift cards and several Target cards. The

The Board thought about partnering with the Lions Club for future events. if Lions has
an event that needs additional volunteers, then the Community Service office would be
willing to help.
