along the fence inside the garden. Flowers would be cultivated by garden members
and sent to local nursing homes.

There was a recent committee meeting focused on increasing participation in the “Mad
Dash”. Elaine/Bonnie/Annie are spearheading this. One initiative is to get a
competition between the schools. The school that has the most participants would get
$750 to be spent on fitness equipment. The individual classroom with the most
participants would also receive a prize.

May 21, 2009
In attendance: Rebecca Brouwer, Suzanne Ramey, Denise Snyder, Bonnie Adams, DG
Eide, Nancy Hoser
♣Historical Society – The group discussed potential partnering with the Mebane
Historical Society. The MHS is coming to speak in June and officers wanted to
have a sense of what we could offer before they came.
♣Fall fundraiser – The group discussed plans for the Fall Fundraiser, where monies
will go to benefit our scholarship. The date is tentatively set for October 24th, but
no deposit is required yet since no one else is competing for that date. Suzanne
is touching base with Amy Pendergraff and if we need a deposit, she will contact
Denise.
♣Attendance – Rebecca summarized the feedback from MWC members regarding
plans for increasing attendance at meetings. While it will need to be voted on at
the annual meeting, MWC members seemed to like the idea of moving meetings
to Monday evenings. Rebecca will bring this up at the June meeting so people
are aware that if they want to weigh in on the vote for this, they will need to plan
to be present for the annual meeting. MWC members also liked the idea of a
social attached to the meetings.
♣Finances – Denise reported that bank balances are looking good and the register
is accurate. Suzanne will provide her with a night deposit bag so the deposits
can become a bit more convenient.
♣Food pantry – Suzanne reminded the group that the club will be convening at 6pm
at the Loaves and Fishes building prior to our next June MWC meeting.
Rebecca will include this in the next reminder to the club.

Mebane on the Move: Rebecca
- Discussed sponsorship levels and commitments. Not sure how much we have yet, but
deadline is soon and goal is $3000 to cover costs.
- Decided to change wording on Mad Dash school prize from most participants to
greatest participation so we can calculate the % of students who participated so larger
schools don’t have an advantage over smaller ones.
- Suggestions from the floor for additional sponsors to contact: Radio Shack, Ciao
Pizza, BlueCross Blue Shield, Sheetz, Iron Gate
- Discussed having a water sprinkler at the end of the Mad Dash and possibly fun fruit.
Concern raised about how long the sprinkler would encourage people to hang around
and whether the health dept. would object to food being served. This was tabled for
further discussion by the committee.

Bonnie volunteered.

the motion.
