3)     Pool Operations per Brad Ward:

4)     Social Report by Nazzi Nazeri:

a)     Attendance at the May 31 potluck was disappointing. Six people attended. Poor attendance was blamed on short notice, a calendar error on the sign, and cold weather.

The district has not responded yet.

8)     Masters Swim Program: In an email sent after the meeting, Pat Moran moved that we approve an adult only swim program beginning June 19, 2008.
