Review of recent activities

A. Picnic and hymn sing had about 100 people attend. Eunjeong Moe and Greg Sherman did great! We could improve by finding better music stands/holders for both of them.

E. Graduation Sunday worked out well. Three half sheets of cake was about right. Expenses were $109 (books), $76 (cakes), and $15 (carnations). Punch was free (leftover). Combining with mothers’ day seemed to work ok.
