1. The BCSS annual yard sale will be on May 1st, 2004 at Rob's home. This is a major resource to sweeten our cash flow. Any donations will be appreciated. Dig into your garage and closets for anything that can bring cash into our treasury. This would include plants and anything of value that you do not need anymore.

2. Maynard gave a treasury report as a negative cash flow, meaning we need to bring in some cash (yard/plant sales) to continue to be active in our community

3. Lynn announced a field trip to Ojai on May 15th as a "Historic Tour." The tour starts from Home Depot parking lot at 7am. (District Blvd. And Gosford Rd.) Stops at local nurseries and pot places.

4. 4th annual potters sale, March 27th @ Woody's featuring Don Hunt, Mark Muradian and Joe Wujcik artistry. They bring their talents together in pottery design.

5. A plant auction is coming up in Riverside. More details coming.
