The DISCO kids' meal went well on Wednesday, but it has become clear that we need to make a concerted effort to get some of those kids involved in our Sunday school program and perhaps even church. Ryan will contact Trena to see if he can get a list of those kids who have attended, and we will go from there.
A thank you for Jim Shearman's work on the MAM room is needed. Karen is considering whether to bake him cookies or make him a chocolate cake. Ryan will write a thank you card.
We still plan to meet on Sunday, October 3 at 5:00 p.m. to paint the MAM room. We will need to secure the supplies needed for this project. The paint that matches the rest of the interior colors is called egg shell and is available at Sherwin Williams. Hopefully, Brent will be able to pick this up along with some rollers (for textured walls), some drop cloths, and some paint trays. He is the new keeper of the checkbook, but his name is currently not on the account at the bank. This needs to be done soon. Otherwise, Ryan will get Brent the class debit card to make these purchases.
Karen and Nicole will take the kids to the Plogers' where will eat pizza (hopefully, from the bowling alley) after the painting is done.
Then we will contact Jim Shearman and ask that he install the permanent shelving in the room and inquire as to when we can help him move the items that he placed in storage at Jean Allen's. This could be done at our Oct. 10 work night, which will (again) be at 5:00 p.m. The only hitch in this plan might be that we'll need to any shopping necessary to re-stock the MAM room before the store closes that afternoon. Again, we'll then eat, something that we are all good at.
With these jobs done, we can move beyond the grand re-opening and focus on our Christmas angel project. Hopefully, Rachel will still be in charge of this organization of this project. Naturally, this will require the expenditure of more funds, but Mendy has suggested that we offer Sweet Shoppe items at a Relay for Life craft and food show that she organizing on December 4 in Sublette. This could be a great opportunity to raise some funds in advance of Christmas and our spring literacy event.
On a final note, Ryan plans to contact Teresa Anthony and inquire about whether the PTO group would be willing to partner with us on the literacy event.

Brent thinks that he has all the supplies necessary to paint the MAM room except the paint. He will take care of picking up a gallon at the Shopping Stop in Satanta. We are, after all, committed to shopping locally. Remember, "Put your money where your house is."
