II. CHAIR REPORT:

The meeting was called to order by Chair Linh Vu at 10:45 a.m., at which time Chair Vu gave her Chair Report and talked about the Wally Carson, Jr. Award of Excellence. Following the Chair Report, the minutes were unanimously approved.

We talked about the Salishan annual meeting that was about to happen, and the comment was that, “Sally worked extremely hard.” Also, the comment was that $5,000 in contributions was made by outside sources and that we were reserving Salishan again for next year. We had a discussion about the dates, and the indication was that the only date that worked was the weekend after Mother’s Day and before Memorial Day. This date was late enough in May, but did not fall on a holiday weekend. We discussed Sally’s gift, which would be a gift certificate to Borders for $50 and to the Chart House Restaurant for $100. There was also discussion that Salishan would qualify for 9-1/2 CLE credits.
