Officer Reports:

• President: Al welcomed everyone to the meeting and supplied an agenda. He thought the parade organizers did a great job for the first year of the parade, but would like to see HZBA get involved with a float/marchers next year. A collection was made for "back to school" supplies.

• Treasurer: Ending balance @ 05/31/06 is $16,286.12

Old Business/New Business:

1. Paul Cummins said that Hereford Methodist Church will be expanding and getting an up lift.
   
2. Glenn would like feedback on the parade and how to make it even more of a success. Dave said he felt the parade was split with half the people at the parade and the other half at the festival.
   
3. Miniature golf went really well and was very hot! Some folks came later in the day to play, so we may wish to consider extending the time or a later start time.
   
4. Al was very disappointed in the response for the Snyder/Anderson function and the mini-golf outing in terms of sponsors. He suggested that at the beginning of the year we pass out a listing of all areas in which members may wish to donate/sponsor (with explanation of event) allowing members to better budget their contribution dollars.
   
5. Traffic light Paul Cummings said it's in design and things are moving along fine
   
6. Dave Cavey has a snowball stand at 310 Mount Carmel Road through September, so stop by.
